Adventure mode-the solution

Still regardless my point remains juat half true.
The point of hq gathering is to increase odds of making a hq item. Which gave readon to buy them over normal.

You don't need HQ gathering materials to ensure a 100% HQ rate, they are more a nuisance than anything else. Maybe you need them for crafting the newest crafting gear with the older one, but that's a trivial obstacle and obsolete after day 1.

I agree completely, but one thing remains, gathering will feel more dull again.
I don't enjoy crafting, but I love gathering and I miss having no chance at getting something rare when gathering. I admit HQ mats were nothing too great, but at least something. Now we have nothing
I wish they replaced the HQ mats by a small chance to get something rare and cool from gathering, something one could sell for decent profit and it would be useful in endgame content.
