The Quality of EVERYTHING in the wild should slowly increase as the World ages. There shouldn't be such a massive gap between player-produced Quality and wild Quality. The highest player-produced Quality should influence wild resources to some degree.
We have WWW for crops but what about everything else? Late joiners can never catch up like this.
If the #1 Quality for Blueberries is Q100, you should be able to find Blueberries close to Q100 in the wild.
I love exploring the open world but I hate how wild resources become obsolete once player-produced Quality takes over. Picking up Q10 garbage 6+ months into the wipe is a humiliation ritual.
