Dropped vs. Crafted a compromise?

[Shougun]

Moving the better crafting gear away from gathering professions lowers their priority to "leveling crafters".

Unless very minimal, like "1" material from the dungeon and then the rest are all hard to get gathered items for the same recipe.

That would likely be the case if it were implemented, sort of like how the old versions of these (The drops from the old HNMs were much like this, except none of the items were U/U) had ONE item drop that you then had to refine with other items into a finished product. Also, like those items, they'd be intended for a level 50 to craft, so in either case gathering would still be instrumental in the actual leveling of the class, as well as all the things they're currently used for (SB gear, gear used before having done endgame, making relic base items, getting GC seals, many other things I've likely forgotten...)
