Cosmic Exploration is Bad

[PotatoePet]

The perception comes from the fact that you can start doing Cosmic Explorations at level 10. I'm a level 97 fisher, the minimum iLvl for gear for D rank stuff is 595 or something like that... when I was in my lvl 90 script gear, I wasn't catching anything. When I bought the gear from the Cosmic Explorations vendor, I then started to catch stuff, but I was still failing more than succeeding.

This is a very specific problem for gatherers. Crafters are having the easiest time in the world because they can use macros and they don't actually have to try or rely on RNG like gatherers, specifically fishers, do. Cosmic Explorations was made for crafters, not gatherers, who were a forgotten afterthought.

And again, this isn't just my opinion that Cosmic Explorations is bad for gatherers, it's the opinion of a lot of people, including hardcore players like Mr. Happy and others.

Yea, like I said: The time limit on gatherer missions is a bit too much imho. (They could basically remove that time limit from all D - B missions where the goal isn't to get gold for completion within a certain time)

Especially because GP is such a limited resource when doing gatherer in Cosmic. Points are also not enough. If points were more, failing from time to time would be fine.

Fisher is hard and RNG heavy just like outside of cosmic. I really think they should add one of two things:
- A place to rest to refill GP faster
- Or: Special cordials only useable in Cosmic which fill 800GP can only be used in cosmic and are either given at the start of missions or cheaply available for cosmo credits.

Those would help for sure, especially removing the timers. And I appreciate that you acknowledge that fishing is extremely dependent on RNG, unlike most other gatherers and crafters.
