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.
