So from your comments, what I am hearing is this sounds like something that would be very simple for them to fix. So one would have to assume the developers are being lazy.

And to this person: "The only "super valuable" mats are the treasure map drops used for crafting glamour gear. Since HQ makes no difference in the appearance of the glamour, you shouldn't be at risk of wasting them. Rinascita mats are easy to farm and replace in comparison. I wouldn't call them "super valuable". One hunt train, a half hour of gathering, and I've generally got enough to make 3 pieces of gear." I don't really care about your glamour, I was thinking more about the very hard to craft 610 gear which is worthless if it's not HQ.
