Part of that is the fact that most PvP servers have ×2 or even ×4 harvest multipliers, where as we only have a base rate of ×1. A little known fact among PvP players I have both been told and also observed.
Im completely happy with that buddy, that will put it back around pre-nerf values. If it becomes too difficult/easy, players can simply adjust the difficulty settings. I play on medium (Decadent) difficulty myself.
