At least it's not like everquest or ff11 or other old mmo games where it has a less then 1 percent drop rate and takes weeks/months to potentially get a single drop. Farming the mobs fate farming or buying off market board are the 3 solutions of getting them what else do you want for answers unless you want the mobs to hand you the skins.
Common crafting materials didn't have a 1% drop rate in EverQuest, only rare magic items from rare spawns. Common items were either all over the place in EQ or you could buy them from vendors directly.

Instead of forcing players to choose between three boring options, the better solution would be for CBU3 to undo the poor decision they made to triple the leather recipe requirements in Heavensward, and go back to the ARR system of 1 hide = 1 leather. Suddenly it doesn't matter as much if you only get a hide drop every few kills.
