But then you're ruining the gatherer's run (and if they put them in the overworld, then it'll be behind some timed node nonsense). Why don't we put all the pink i210 outside of Diadem and let them farm until their eyes bleed?

With all this though I think the best option would be to allow you to DF as a Botanist/Miner/Fisher to get in a Gathering party instead of a Battle party but then what would they do about the objectives to get esos? They get one shot by every single monster and you still have to attune to aethercurrents. So it wouldn't be fair if they couldn't hop to their battle class to get their aethercurrents so they can fly. Sure you can just say "be sneakier" but not everyone's a ninja. :P

People may not like it but SE put gathering nodes in there because they wanted them there so gatherers had something new to do. It would be unfair to the gatherers who really enjoy it to suddenly take it out of Diadem because people making their eyes bleed trying to get pink i210 had a fit. I do agree there should be some middle ground so Diadem works for both the battle classes and gathering classes without the headache but I don't think removing gathering from Diadem is the way to do it.
