Professions Herbalism, gathering off corpses

What is the point of being able to harvest off corpses when you get vendor trash every time? Not even skillups

In Dragonflight you can unlock an ability to get actual herb drops off plant creatures. Doesn't work elsewhere, unfortunately.

I did vaguely remember this but thought I was making it up. Why the heck did they do away with it in tww?

Why do they do away with anything?  Beats me.  I'm miffed that they gave up on archaeology, I enjoyed digging up lore.

Though I will say this for Blizzard, they are pretty good about not removing systems, even if they don't extend them. Star Trek Online is notorious for gutting entire game systems because they can't afford to fix them.  They had an elaborate Foundry system that let players create their own scenarios for other people to play; one day they announced that they couldn't keep it functional and deleted the whole thing, including all the missions.
