Or there is a major bot issue now in the VR12 zone. I run the same farming route every morning to stock up on PVP supplies, and to make a little money. I can usually come away with a couple of stacks of crafting materials, and quite a bit of alchemy. Since the last patch, I have been unable to get even half a stack of wood, cloth, or metal working materials on the same route. I have also hardly been able to get any alchemy supplies to make the potions I use in PVP. All of the nodes still spawn in the same places, they just dont appear for 20 minutes at a time.

If there is one thing in any MMO people hate, its farming. Making it vastly more difficult to do so makes no sense. So either there is a MASSIVE bot issue going on in Craglorn, or they ninja nerfed the spawn rates of these harvest nodes.

I stood around watching a void bloom node for a good 10 minutes and it was never harvested by a bot, so I am leaning towards a nerf. Intentional or a mistake? There were also zero other people anywhere near my route, because at one point, I started searching for other players.

Any input???
