A game basically needs obstacles/goals to be considered a game. If everything was handed to you right off the bat, there would be no game at all; you'd simply log in and walk around. Some things are easier to acquire, such as a branch from a tree, while some things are harder to acquire, such as the "black skills" which very clearly have higher LP requirements than any other skill. A mine is one of many higher end things that you have to actually work for - it's one of the few things that not everyone in the game can have. It is not a simple tree branch.
