I feel punished for not playing at non-prime hours.

Hi! To get it straight out of the way, I'm a gatherer, and its what I do 99% of the time in albion. I have tried playing albion many times (5 to be exact), but every time I quit due to either premium fomo or this "issue', but this time I decided that I will persevere, play for at least 2 weeks (starting with F2P Eu launch), farm for a month of premium, get to T7-8 gathering, go to bz's and have fun!

But, well...its not fun one bit, especially if I play at any time that isn't non-prime due to how many other gatherers/gankers there are, it becomes nearly impossible to both have decent profits and survive, even in the black zone. But if I completely flip my schedule upside down and play from 3 am to 10 am, then I'm gucci. And this has been troubling my mind for a while now, so I decided to make this post to see how you feel about it and perhaps receive some advice (if there is any).

I REALLY like this game (I always did, actually), but I find it very hard to enjoy it as a type of player I am. I'd imagine that leveling all gathering to T6-7 and go gather into mists could make me feel otherwise about all this, but I just don't see myself coming back just to grind all that with a f*cked up sleep schedule just to MAYBE have a chance to enjoy the game and realizing all this makes me sad...

P.S. I know I'm the "wrong type of player" for this game.
