Suggestion: No HQ stance ability
The ability to lower the quality of HQ items was a welcome quality of life improvement. I'd like to see the game take this a step further and give gathering jobs an ability that toggles an effect where, while it is active, you can't get HQ items.
I'm glad that we can, for example, go mine 90 granite for a housing recipe and not have to keep going because 12 of them were HQ, but we still have to go into the item menu, hit a context command, then combine the stacks.
