I sure do hope they release recipes for the gathering gear at some point.

I could understand his frustration if the gear was needed in order to collect stuff and be productive, absolutely.
But it isn't.
So it's basically just some pretty set he wants to have for kinks and stuff (or completionist OCD) so... not really a problem if it takes a few weeks.

I'd love to have all the 180 gear for all my crafters too... but I know that it isn't a realistic goal.

You speak fair points, but again I must ask, why? Why should I have to get this 180 set to gear the gatherers? Especially when, if they ever DO make a 170 set, the 170 set will be better and cost less resources?

It's just so weird that crafters have two options, when gatherers only have one...
