Hope you screenshotted and reported those boasting.

That needs a fix for sure

Sometimes though you just don't have bag space and don't care to delete something to make room for worms. You can't really grief anyone gathering in this game due to the instancing. Just log out and back in and a person doing that might as well not even exist. You can gather right outside Daggerfall which would be virtually impossible without the instancing.l

I usually leave the fish bait too. But that's just because I'm not into fishing. That being said. There have been several occasions where I found a node and all there was is fish bait.

I came across nodes like that as well from time to time , but i don't really mind at all.
If its junk and bait , i collect and delete it from my inventory so the node can spawn again , when i come back from doing a quest . I focus on completing every quest that i can find in every area that i visit , so i don't miss out on the skill points that are given out as rewards from some of the quests.
By doing this , at the end of the map i have about 3 full stacks of refined wood and clothing mats at the end of the map. So i would suggest that you not focus solely on crafting , more on questing and gathering mats along the way , you will get so much , that you have to sell some stacks when you move on from that certain area, that is unless you decide to make stuff for selling , but i don't see that are profitable , since the greens and blues are dropping alot , and for the most part , at the moment , while leveling , you don't really need BIS gear .
For me , as long as i can make my own robes and head pieces ( the rest of the items can be of white quality of apropriate level ) and staves that have green quality , then i am a happy camper. Later on , at end game , i will focus on more farming mats , but again , just killing mobs and gathering the nodes along the way yelds more than enough mats , since all the cloth and staves in the game can be destroyed and you get refined mats from those as well

Aside from the grief-ing, it's broken anyway. No-one wants the damn worms.

I don't see how this is "griefing" or anything, but having worms in gathered herbs/cloth is really stupid. Inventory management is annoying enough without constantly getting worthless items in my inventory that I have to manually delete every minute

if you focus on questing and gathering crafting materials, your inventory will be FULL everywhere u go.. either your doing one or the other but not both

I'm not for or against this mechanic. However, since I've noticed a lot of hackers teleporting from node to node while being invisible (you can't see a character but if you are close enough and manage to hover you're crosshair over them, you'll see one of those jibberish names like "ghughu" or "opgbbd"). So in low level areas I just loot the craft material and leave the junk just to screw over the hackers, it screws over players too, but oh well.

@DukeofChutney: I don't believe I was complaining in the least. I was making other players and ZOS aware of a minor flaw that can be detrimental to anybody wanting to level their cloth craft skill quickly. Besides, I'm pretty sure...

Besides being hilarious, it can prevent a player who is focusing on cloth armor from collecting said materials.

yep there it is, IN WRITING, that I find it pretty "hilarious". You should see the chat logs light up like the fourth with endless rage when nearly every single jute node visible has only worms in it.

Sigh nodes. If it's not watching a warping player beat you too it and disappear, or one disappear completely right in front of you, or another player loot it while you kill the surrounding mobs, now we have to worry about nasty lasty items being left on them. Should just be personal loot but Rarer, like GW2. I've literally looted a node, looted something nearby, turned around and the first thing I looted was back up. Definitely needs some work in this department.
