Gathering Nodes

Jariath

Repeatedly coming upon flax, cotton, or other nodes of this sort where there is no flax or cotton or whatever in it, just the worms. Shouldn't these despawn if another player has taken the crafting mat out of it? While I think the player doing so is a despicable person, the node should despawn anyway.

Also, I have come upon many mining nodes in Alik'r Desert that are not mineable, nor are they glowing with two ranks in the skills to make it do so.

    I always leave worms behind. That's not the problem. The problem is the worms being in there in the first place. When I'm harvesting a resource, I want THAT resource. I don't want useless garbage in my inventory.

    Fishing is the most pointless feature in this game. But if you want to fish, go catch some fireflies. The game shouldn't be poluting crafting nodes.

    I agree that the problem is the bugs being there in the first place. Even if fishing were worthwhile, there are enough bugs flying around for you to grab. They could even open a bait shop where you could buy them if fishing were to become interesting. There's no bugs in my ore. There's no bugs in my runes. I don't want bugs in my cloth.

    That being said, I do my part and take the bugs anyway, mostly because I press the take all button as a reflex and can't be bothered to drag them out of my inventory until it's full. At that point, I'm going back to sell/bank anyway.

    I think it should be changed so you have to dig for worms and crawlers so it's separate from the other harvesting nodes. (Or at least make them worth 1g at the vendors so it's worth picking up).

    Would probably make more sense anyway because I personally wouldn't go picking cotton and then randomly reach down in the dirt to grab worms at the same time lol.

    but since the worms *are* there, leaving them behind *is* the problem. I think it would be common courtesy for the person coming after you to take them out until/unless Zen addresses it.

    This is all part of the game.

    Except that the type of person that does this only cares about themselves, the next person simply gets screwed.

    Being generally courteous in an mmo isn't really my thing. But if you feel you're paying it forward by taking those worms, then godspeed!

    Yeah, really is painful to do something that might make things easier for another person in a game with thousands of other people.
