hi,
The problem is that it is a closed system. The items you make from the PoE (Zaws, Amps, arcanes, etc.) are only made with resources from the plains. Very few resources from outside the plains are needed. Conversely, none of the other items in the game use plains resources, so we have two separate sets of resources to farm, one of which makes everyone start from scratch.
How bad it is depends on what resource you are looking for.
Fishing is easy and fun and you can target the species you are looking for.
Mineral and gem mining is difficult and dull. You can't target a specific type either, so farming rare gems is a chore. I've only found a single Nyth deposit out of maybe 1000 mining attempts. Smart players used the Plague Star event to stock up on rare gems. Supposedly this event will be reoccurring.
Iradite was in short supply for me until I learned that harder bounties make the plains drop more Iradite per spawn.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
