I would like to preface this by saying that I'm really enjoying ESO and I'm definitely not complaining.
It seems to me in my experience that alchemy isn't as useful or user friendly of a craft skill because of how rare the plants are. Not that I want the map covered by plant nodes, but at current it seems unrealistic to me that one can reasonably expect to regularly make any sort of potion. Effectively you could focus on alchemy and spend tons of skill points on it and it's just a source of a health potion here and again.
Am I the only one feeling that way?
