The state of farmer

[_Fish_]

I have been dumping hour upon hour of work into the farmer profession since I speced. The first few levels are, as I imagine super easy to level. However now being level 35 I struggle to level. I have a large wheat farm, sugarcane farm, as well as a large pumpkin farm. I cannot at this point even imagine what it will be like at the later levels since the highest amount of exp I receive from from a plant is 1.5. Now I understand this is supposed to be counteracted by bulk farming but I can see it getting way out of hand. With the subtraction of breeding exp I personally feel that farmer is at an extreme disadvantage as it stands now. Please feel free to correct me as I know you all will if there are any errors and please let me know what you think.

Farmer is very underpowered at the moment. I agree with you and it took me a long time to level up, but really you should have a large farm that allows plenty of exp per harvest. With the time spent I mastered farmer, I think I would have been able to master at least two other classes such as smith and merchant by mining and I'd be able to get a ton of money from it too.

Farmer is underpowered and is hard to level, but personally I like it that way, as it's a drastic change to professions and gives a way out of mining.
