Considering we used to have nothing at all, and would have to do the maths ourselves (accounting for the worst RNG outcomes) it still feels like a luxury having it at all. I agree it's annoying to not know the quality/collectibilty outcome but it's not hard at all to figure it out yourself. For myself I prefer NOT to have the game hold my hand for every damned thing so I do enjoy it the way it is. That said I'm geared and melded well enough that with food HQ is not in any way an issue for me to get 100% HQ for anything IG. I usually overshoot by a large margin. The only times I've suffered a bit is when making the new crafting gear tier in order to not suffer later on. Gear and meld your crafters to the max, then the rest is a faceroll. I wouldn't object to the change, but it's not something I'm overly concerned about.
