A simple fix for Cosmic Exploration gatherer content

[PotatoePet]

Look up my previous message in this thread. There’s a video of me doing A-3 missions WITHOUT using any GP skills at all and without a relic.

You had a lot of these "integrity is not reduced" events. Much more than I usually have with the same base 23% chance.
I can only do more A-3 tests when I reached 150k with all crafters in preparation for the next zones. I will report back.

Well I dunno we play the same game with the same RNG. And look, even if my luck was worse I would still get a silver star easily, which is only 100 points less. But then if I had my relic equipped, I would get even more integrity bonuses.

Tried 3 times now, two times bronze when not using GP and once gold with 1 second left for gold rating. And I want to correct the values above. Its 2-4 or 4-8 (with bonus)

EDIT: Tried with the relic, will now test pentameld tool

With the pentameld 2 gold and 1 silver without using GP. So yea, A-3 missions are easier than I thought. To my defense: I only did them once before

EDIT2: Last attempt was bronze with pentameld.

Still I feel this isn't worth the effort. In 2 minutes I can easily do 1250 points as a crafter. Its nearly 3 minutes as a gatherer on A-3 and for gold you get 505 points. If I use my GP I can do it quicker and at least be nearly as efficient as a crafter which is likely the reason people feel like that about GP in cosmic.

EDIT3:
Let's assume for gatherers 80% gold, 10% silver, 10% bronze and just assume 3 minutes per mission

So that's 20 gatherer missions per hour
16 * 505
2 * 404
2 * 101

= 9090 points

Crafter is 100% silver with macros and even if we assume 2 minutes 24 seconds for a mission that's 25 crafter missions per hour
25 * 1250

= 31250 points

If you use GP you can make points faster and I think this discrepancy is the source of that feel of "We dont have enough GP". At least if we are talking about A-1, A-2 and A-3.
I guess its made that way because there are more crafter jobs. It still feels bad to get less and "contribute less".

They need to adjust the points then. I think I'm okay with GP recovery but only if they make the missions harder. Or they can just enable revisit in cosmic.
