Is it possible to NOT have a Royal Jelly or Vanaduke gate?

I'd like to go just one week without Royal Jelly runs occurring. Just one week.
Just one week of people NOT farming an easy boss for crazy good rewards, and just ONE week of the rewards from this ACTUALLY MATTERING because you can't do it six times per day any more.

More bosses will mean less of these bosses.
There doesn't need to be Jelly King or Vanaduke, but there needs to be a Tier 2 boss and a Tier 3 boss (I'd like a Tier 1 boss in the future, too).
It is likely that there will be more bosses in the future. Hopefully as they add more, rather than there always being a Jelly boss, there will always be one of the several T2 bosses, but not all of them all of the time.
In the meantime, I don't understand why you are so worried about people playing the Jelly King many times for rewards. Other than that part of the game becoming stale for those people, there is no concern, and the introduction of new bosses will alleviate that problem. The rewards that others reap has no bearing on what you can and cannot have in this game. As far as I'm concerned, everyone in the game could have 20 sealed swords and I'll still be very pleased when I earn my first.

Pretty much how I read it as
Pretty much how I read it as well.
If you really think about it. You need 25 jelly gems for the sealed sword or antigua. What if you wanted to chase UVs for the higher stuff? Where are you going to get all the jelly gems for that? What about new players? Do they get screwed just because you want a break from the Royal Jelly?
An incredibly selfish request. The Royal Jelly being available doesn't in any way affect your game as you don't have to fight him. The only effect it has is to make equipment available to the economy and make the prices for that equipment reasonable. The equipment you get isn't so much better that it needs to be stupidly overpriced just because you need jelly gems to get it.
I see this in a lot of games, people get this idea that they should be a special snowflake because they got a difficult to obtain piece of equipment. Then when more people get that equipment they feel like somehow their awesome sword is less awesome because others have it.
Yet it still cuts through jellies just as well as it did before.

Seen this argument sooo many
Seen this argument sooo many times on many an mmo.
At the end of the day this isnt your typical mmo, if i had the money, i could just buy all the equipment and then be bored outta my mind, whats the point.
For those that are on f2p, such as myself. Im running gate after gate for what i can, crowns, mats, energy (bought with said crowns). So even if everyone else has the best gear, when i finally have it myself i will feel far greater satisfaction than if i just bought it cos im some rich boy.

I am the Gravedigger
I find it curious that 5 out of 8 Graveyard threads were made by meowreka. I mean, I'm all for Quality Control, but man... that's quite the title to own. Almost shameful.
Also, even if they did take the bosses away, what would that accomplish? We already have what we need: Sealed Swords and Antiguas abound, and you can't just magically take them away too. Removing bosses and boss gear would be for griefing and nothing more, read: baby boomer mentality.
P.S. Aren't Graveyard threads supposed to be locked? A few are still open.
I believe it is not possible. Good news is 2 out of the 4 gates in operation will not have either of them.
At any given time there needs to be access to Jelly King and Vanaduke. If you notice when the gate containing them rotates out the one that rotates in always has it.
It would be unfair to deny people the ability to fight these bosses. Although I do agree maybe some sort of limit on them could create more rarity and reward. I don't think there is a fair way to do it though.
