I'm probably just thick, but I think as of now there's enough crafting and 'other stuff' going on to keep people busy.
It's important to remember that at the end of the day, this is a RP server, not a everything-is-coded-for-you server.

A bit of imagination is all it takes to make a Gas & Oil RP by managing BP and having a rig in the lake.

To me, the learning curve for new players is already pretty steep; a compulsory dynamic 'Fuel System' (unlike the ECSE, which you can participate in voluntarily) is going to confuse quite a lot of players, and will make L2 even more like Minecraft with the amount of NPC-Entity-Systems: Meth, Contraband, Weed, Wood, Fuel, Fishing (as said in a previous 'upcoming' thread)... you have to ask yourself where the RP is.

What learning curve? 

Not sure if you completely understand the suggestion.

People arent forced to do this, gas will still be available at the station for the same price it is right now. This is merely a way to not only add a legal way to make money, it can lead to added RP's for individuals and clans. BP could BE a clan. It creates a way for players to sell to NPC OR directly to consumers if they take extra steps. Don't see how you see this as Minecraft... maybe the woodcutting system made it like Runescape. Who cares? I dislike this thing called "RP" when it is all pretend and nothing productive is actually being done. Why not have both? Allow for RP in new ways while makin it a way to make a living

It also opens the door for future updates that may require oil/petrol/energy - such as a more advanced contraband system where you power your printers. Who knows
