    I would agree... If crating material were hard to find at all.

    I honestly had no idea until I happened to come across the same cotton node I picked, thinking it was a new spawn and saw the worms I left in it.

    People probably leave the worms because their bags are full and they don't feel like deleting an item, looting the worms and the resource and then deleting the worms. That's why I leave worms sometimes. So...apologies :D

    It's an add on that only harvests the crafting materials that people have installed.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Which addon is that?

    The only method I've seen addons use is to loot it, then instantly delete it, so it doesn't leave anything behind.

    Very rarely have I run into this, but it's happened. My problem is seeing a node (but it doesn't have that glow around it like it should since I put a skill point in keen eye) and so I go up and begin to pick it, and it simply disappears.

    Fairly certain this is due to map hacking/teleporting bots as usually when that happens i see a random gibberish lowercase name.

    X_X makes me have flashbacks to when people would loot the metal from nodes but leave the stone in WoW.
    Please try not to think I'm hostile, I'm not trying to be. I just have a hard time wording things with tact >_<.

    And Blizzard eventually made it so that a stone-only node would despawn after a few minutes. That was handy.
    Every time someone swears, it gets replaced with three asterisks. There's only one three-letter swear word that I know of. I read that in the place of every set of three asterisks. It makes for some amusing sentences.

    Okay, I'm guilty of this and I did not know it caused this much grief to other players. When I harvest nodes I'll start at one end of the map and slowly travel through the area harvesting every node I see. When my bags reach maximum capacity with items I want to keep, I figure if I only loot the nodes I've got stacked items of, I can bank everything when I get bored of harvesting. I also have auto loot on so once I hear the sound of items being looted, I move on.

    I'm sorry people, I'll take the worms and crawlers in future. If only we could destroy the item without actually picking it up, like a drag and drop feature in the loot window.

    its happening because the rude idiots are using the loot addon which can exclude the trash they dont want. the prob is the node does not respawn with new refreshed loot. they are only gimping themselves in the end, but people like that dont care, its all about them

    Yeah, I never found a node containing only stones even in areas where I could spot other farmers around.

    If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't know about it and it definitely wouldn't occur to me that the node system would be so archaic that it would leave my partially looted node available for other players. I think most people figure that the node will clear after they looted it, whether they picked up everything or not.

    You got wormed bruh

    This made me laugh so hard that I almost lost bladder control. For some reason it sounds like a gameshow title.

    Sadly I am one of the many guiltly peeps who had full bags and didn't have anything to destroy to get those worms. I try to watch my bag space more carefully now :P

    I too have found the worm only nodes, and I just harvest the worms so the node will respawn. On the positive side at least it's not Power Bait.

    I have like 99 worms, bug parts, crawlers stack sitting in my bank. Waiting for the day they make fishing worth doing.

    Other then achievements & selling the fish off & a random chance at some item. I was hoping to use the fish to make food stuffs or alchemy stuff.

    Absolutely agree. When I caught my first longfin I got excited thinking I was going to have some tasty mackerel type dish for my Templar to eat...considering the fish sold for more gold than any mob drops.

    Sadly I can't even smack any Bretons with them. Useless apparently.

    I guess its really impossible to go in your invi, right click on worms, and destroy them if you don't need them. I know it takes me 5 hours just to open up my inventory :(

    Are you missing fingers or something?

    And if so, how long did this post take?
