Are there less nodes, or is it just me?

Ok. I've played every day since Morrowind lauched. Both inside Morrowind and base game. I swear there are less nodes than there use to be. Maybe because of population increase? Just saying that I feel like I'm seeing less nodes.

    Its all the people. First one to the node gets it and all that. When the herd thins out, you should see more.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    I haven't noticed anything. But the density does vary a lot according to zone and to areas within a zone. Some zones are also more popular than others resulting in more frequent node harvesting and thus a lower apparent density. Good zones to farm base materials are the starter islands which have higher density of nodes and some of the alliance areas - Rivenspire seems to have a lot of clothing nodes for some reason.

    Probably more competition for the same amount of nodes...due to this "Chapter"/returning/new players...

    Same thing was brought up on PTS and the same response was given that it is because it is so crowded. Unfortunately after a couple of weeks went by and the PTS emptied, the density was still the same
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    I don't seem to notice fewer nodes. I did notice that they take longer to harvest, though.

    There appear to be a lot less harvest nodes in Vvardenfell than in other areas.

    I'm pretty sure the general amount of nodes in a zone remains roughly consistent regardless of size, which is why the starter islands appear to have so many - same amount of nodes, smaller amount of space. With Vvardenfell it would appear to be the opposite.

    I've been up and down the western coast looking for a single damn fish, and not a soul in sight other than my fishing buddy - the amount of nodes was pretty meh.

    I couldn't go 5 feet last night in Vvardenfell without tripping over a node. I'm thinking it just depends on where people are. The more people there, the less nodes you will see.

    I was in some out of the way areas in Vvardenfell last night and there were nodes in abundance. I suspect you are running into a situation where someone else grabbed the node before you in busy areas. Try out of the way areas off the main roads.

    Edited as apparently I cannot spell.
