This shards pretty good with the players deciding whats best with shard and i wanna see what people think about the topic.. if the majority of the shard feels like this is a helpful thing to have in game than sure keep it.
If the shard thinks its a bad thing as a whole than i feel it shouldnt keep going on.

You should have a third option for people who are indifferent.

Just ask to yourself: "Oh cool, a GAoA. Wonder if someone going to offer something for it."

Alright, here's what I think of it all:
The shard is small and is growing, so allowing resource gathering can help bring players here so that we can build up the player base. Also, as some players have mentioned, not everyone has a lot of time to play uo and I can relate to that. So some people may afk resource gather ore, bods, aoa's, tots so that they can come back and be better equipped.
However, allowing this also causes problems. First of all, people get the resources while they are away so they can leave the computer for hours on end and come back to a profit they didn't really earn. That's when you get problems with the economy. People getting mass runic kits or mass ore sitting in their houses. It's supposed to be a challenge to get items and the game was meant to be played where you work to get those items. That keeps players playing the game, always working to get the items they want.
All in all, it's a double edged sword. If you allow afk resource gathering, the ones who don't do it will either start doing it, which can end up hurting the economy or they will complain that the other people are doing it.
If you don't allow afk resource gathering, people will complain that they either don't have time/are too lazy to farm all that ore and bods or they will continue to do it and hope not to get caught.

Sure, not having time to play is one thing, but the ones that have that time, dont do it AFK and work for their stuff, will probably go WTF like.
In other hand, people have *ALOT* of stuff atm. I was scared when I saw Apoc's house. Really scared.
