Does it feel there are more runes present since yesterday? (28/04/2014)

Squishy

Last night, I was, as usal, running in a large circular pattern for a while, to gather some runes. I however, found a larger amount that usual in that area, with new nodes. I did not spend a huge amount of time in that zone originally, but the first couple of visits only showed about 3 nodes, while yesterday, I went on a whooping 8 nodes, in the same zone. This is in a VT zone, so harvesting bots are unlikely the cause of the low amount of nodes, and since I was early enough in the progression, very very very few people were around at that time, so the chances of others harvesting them in a loop without me seeing them once is low at best.

For me its not that there are more per se I'm finding that there are less people in my area stealing them

Squishy

Yes.

Good point @lupinemw, however in my case, we have more people now, than back when I was questing there. I arrived in those areas fairly early in the game, after the ultimate VR10 grinders, but before the main rush of players. Yet last night, I actually saw people there, some even harvesting the runes too, yet, I still had more runes than when I was questing in this area... virtually alone.

The area in question, is outside a phased zone, and as far as I know, common to all players, right next to a dolmen, which is why the afluence of players made it awkward for more runes to be present

Stormynature

Yes.

I have also noticed that many bots have stopped harvesting the runes in recent times.

@squishy I have to say if I want to node farm for enchantment stuff I look in the 30-50 zones as most people there seem fixated on levelling more than anything else.

Squishy

Yes.

Yes, but I'm about 5 levels late on enchants, so I had to backtrack in the zones, to get the level of enchants I need on aspect . For essence/potency, yes, you can gather those from any zones really, doesn't matter which

I find the lack of ponies in this poll disturbing (= don't know/ noticed no difference)

I always find the lack of ponies disturbing.
Really, I didn't notice.

MkChkn

Yes.

I've certainly noticed more aspect nodes. But I'm not sure if that's because I've been playing at 5am when no one else seems to be on and moved into VR1 area

Nox_Aeterna

Yes.

Well , i thought it was because i got to the VR zone , thus less people around.
