Make Rune Nodes "All or Nothing"

Meh. Not really an issue. If you can't be bothered to delete or vendor what someone else leaves behind why should they? Plenty of nodes, just move on to the next one.

Because if someone else has to be "bothered" to delete or vendor left behind stuff, they're getting left with the junk without the reward of the useful items.

As for there being plenty of nodes, sure there are but it's not like they flash a color or have some kind of warning to alert a player they've been picked over. Only time you'll "know" is if you happen across a chest that has use instead of unlock.

The handling of cherry picked contents could be done better, for sure. The one problem I see with a fast respawn of cherry picked containers would be the asses that cherry pick, then wait the 60 seconds for the runestone to respawn so they can cherry pick it again, ad nauseum.

when you are farming a zone for whatever supply, and you discover there is another farmer there 'leaving the crap' it is time for some hard love!

STOP CLEANING UP AFTER THEIR MESS!

the reason they leave a mess behind them is because they know you are cleaning up after them, so they can take all the 'good stuff' & leave you with all the crap!

So you don't want it either. Leave it, then.

Besides, the best idea was to have the node vanish whether or not it was fully looted. Well, it's the best idea if someone leaving stuff at a node makes you irrationally irritated.

Alright, I got an aetherial dust from a rune node in Bangkorai tonight, PS4 EU. My brother watched it happen, so I'm pretty sure that was awesome. It happened once before about a month back too but forums shot me down saying impossible, but I tell you now, I've found TWO aether dusts, both off of rune nodes

I've gotten 3 aetherial dusts from rune nodes. The first 2 I got, I have no idea where. It even makes a different sound when you get them.

And this and other posts about aetherial dust have what exactly to do with this thread topic?

Disparity of value of items at nodes .

Sorry, but OP does not mention this^^^^

complaining about "cherry picking" them.

Only this^^^^^. I just thought it was ironic in a thread that basically complains about human behavior, there were hijacking posts with nothing to do about the thread topic. Kinda surprised you would offer them any kind of support, tiny.

The solution is easy, and it gets two birds with one stone: We only ever see our own resource nodes, chests, quest pickups, and troves.

This fixes the dumped stuff because someone didn't clear it out, since you won't even see those nodes. And it fixes the issue of players dashing ahead of each other while fighting mobs (engaging in PVP behavior without PVP consequences).

What support?

I think anger at cherrypicking is silly. Threads drift off topic, and I pointed out how/why that happened. You go from why people cherry pick to specific examples of really valuable things at nodes.

As for the OP's concern, again, easiest solution is that if I take one of four items and leave, that node vanishes.

LOL, last off topic comment from me. I misconstrued your comment. It seems we are mostly in agreement. Not worth getting emotional over something out of our control.

Full inventory is full sometimes. Not everyone has a craft bag.

I honestly don't care, and I never leave anything behind.

@ZOS_RichLambert I have an idea for this very problem! "Child" NPCs are wanted in homes, why not charge for them in the Crown Store (per character and not account), make them have infinite bag space and have the player set what items automatically go into the child's inventory to be retrieved at a later date! But they cannot take craft items!

Setting the child to automatically take junk items/baits/enchants would free up a lot of players inventory troubles, no more cherry picking and ZOS makes money!

Resource nodes should just be instanced. The way they are now just creates unnecessary and completely avoidable friction between players.
