This sounds a lot like - "We need to delay as long as possible"
A majority of us have been on other servers and have seen how the exaggerated war effort supplies can have a detrimental impact on the servers moral. I don't think anyone really cares if we collect the 'regular required materials' in a relatively fast manner. Sure, its an experience...but it would still take time to acquire the normal materials and everyone could still enjoy it - without having the added absurd quantity of materials to collect. Just food for thought. Also. PTR? Testing?
