I'm feeling some kind of way about the fact that gatherers won't be able to collect HQ items. Is anyone else feeling the same way?

I understand that for the ease of the future, they've done this. Additionally, I want to believe the developers will be able to maintain the same level of difficulty with gathering/crafting, but I'm not totally convinced.

As someone who has played Final Fantasy MMOs since 11, I understand that even in 11 you couldn't gather HQ items and the creation of HQ anything was entirely under the skill(or luck) of crafters.

How do you think the developers will continue forward?
