why when gathering are things hidden why not just put them in every node

[Neophyte]

I want my GP filled up to 600 within the time traveling to the next node.
And I also want to use "Leaf Turn 2" and "Blessed Harvest 2" with 600 GP. "Leaf Turn 2" bonus should be 85% of course, not 30%.

I mean, I want 10 pieces HQ and i can't get 12 with one node? Screw you Squenix.




Everything on gathering is RGN-based (did you see all those %-marks ?), now there's one more aspect.

That's their objective.

To make something trivial take longer than it should, so you can do less other things in that amount of time, and in the end you'll still be subscribing to the game more time because part of your time was wasted trying to gather something that the server RNG just decided that no, you ain't getting that now.

You forget that all gathering is optional and to a certain degree RNG and to be exact: It's a timewaist all along. Or can you tell me any reason to gather/craft, which let you go faster through story/progression/"the game"?
No. Cause there isn't any. Gathering/Crafting is always a timewaste, unless you need the Gil (uncommon) or the crafts (more uncommon) for progression or you just have fun doing it.
