As a gatherer and crafter, I'm quite happy with the invigoration 2.2 brought to both classes.

I had some materials like volcanic rock salt that seemed to be useless and low value, that now are useful and high value.

The new 1 star nodes are near each other, and there's a nice amount of time between them...if I'm already switching classes and using a gathering food, it only makes sense to hit some other unspoiled nodes while I'm at it

While it would be easy to complain that it's taking me forever to get enough to begin collecting 2 star, I'm happy that finishing gathering is going to take a while before I'm "done."
