Can Gathering have a "fun" option in Phase 2?

One element of the game that is not satisfying enough to me right now is gathering. Sure, sometimes its nice to have a relaxed time going around gathering stuff and not have to concentrate intensely. However, sometimes you want to be gathering things but just find the activity boring. It would be nice to have the option for some kind of fun minigame to boost gathering productivity.
Gathering Options:
1. Click and auto-gather (exactly as it is right now)
- Allows for head swivel to check horizons while farming.
- Allows for small text chats while farming.
- Allows for less concentration (chatting with friends, listening to music/etc.)
- Cons - Takes longer to farm, boring if you have nothing else to do.
2. Action-Combat style gathering (skill shot, minigames, etc.)
- Requires more concentration
- Can utilize various degrees of complexity for additional flavour
- Increased farm speed/quality/quantity bonus
- Makes gathering a "fun" activity, rather than just a "useful" activity.
We are spending a lot of hours "playing" this aspect of the game, can it at least be fun to do? As an option?
