Consolidating Stormblood gathering skills

[Lambdafish]

In Stormblood, the devs have tried to consolidate skills, with direct upgrades of skills automatically replacing the old one (stone and thunder being examples). Why then does Impulsive appraisal II, Unearth III, and Bountiful Yield II not do the same? These are literally direct upgrades of Impulsive appraisal, Unearth II and Bountiful Yield, each with the exact same ability (though bountiful harvest is one/two/three instead of just one) and mana cost as their predecessor but adding the addition of "increase is determined by perception".

They should have consolidated the Ward abilities as well. I dislike having 6 slots on my bar taken up by those.

Is there ever a situation where sufficiently low perception would cause them to be inferior to their predecessors?

No, the base rate on Unearth/Leaf Turn III is always 30% no matter your perception, same as Unearth/Leaf Turn II. Bountiful Harvest/Yield 2 will always increase by at least 1, same as I. Impulsive Appraisal II always has at least a 30% chance to proc DE, same as I. It's a little annoying lol. But I just replaced them on my bars, since level syncing isn't a thing for gatherers. It was annoying for battle classes, because I felt I had to have all 3 ranks of Stone on my bars.

OK, that's what I figured, but I wasn't paying attention. I did the same thing and just tossed the rank IIs on where the rank Is used to be.
