The rest of us don't have such luxury. HQ's are finally noticeably better, so they are more valuable, so if you actually synth something that you find valuable (instead of just means to EXP if you're so filthy rich) you will want that HQ, and having a lot of quality will bring you that HQ with a much higher percentage than without said quality.
Money? I've gathered everything. All of my gear also comes free from LS mates for helping them with materials.

Nobody on this forum can take anything at face value. The grinding is ridiculous and quality does not speed it up. The only thing it might do is give a slightly higher return on money and take 3-5x the time. Having ~360q from +3 mats and another ~300 from synthing shouldn't just give another 5-10% XP or is that how you like it? It should be giving more along the line of twice as much or higher.
