I already answered that. During Patrol, you can gain LOTS of Mats. Last night, between three characters completing Patrols and the Daily, I got 120 or so Spirit Bloom, practically by accident. I do this every day. What am I supposed to do with the thousands that I'm going to pick up? I don't need them, and now the only option is to discard them. That's ridiculous when there was a mechanic in the game that at least gave them a use. Removing it was not a good idea. Let it be known that I love the addition. It's awesome that mainly PvP players can get what they need without griefing my patrols farming. It's just a slap in the face for people who were using the mechanic.
