Am also a Gather! I created a guild were are goal is to keep our Guild Bank full of Mat's and with a few core member having ESO Plus this has been working out pretty good. we only have 11 members and well the goal is always 50 member we have slowing been working for it. would you like to join.
we always have a group on nightly of 4-5 members just enjoying the game and listening to each other rage over mashing the wrong button!

PM me if you would like my GT XB1

I like the idea of gathering as a profession. I gather the whole time when I'm out in Tamriel between quests before I head back to town. I think gathering should increase the existing professions somewhat too

I feel it is already an informal profession, and one that I actively pursue.

It is not recognized by ZOS, though, so it is at risk of being adversely impacted when One Tamriel comes out.

I think one of the changes coming - maybe with One Tamriel - is that nodes will always drop stuff at your level or at your crafting level. If I understand correctly, this means that a CP160 character maxed out in crafting can only harvest top end raw materials regardless of where they go.

If correct, this means we cannot go to a lower area and harvest raw material for new characters or friends, which will hurt us hoarders harvesters.

This is my big fear about One Tamriel. I expect that they will do it this way because it is how they do DLC and it will just be easier. One of the things that I do like about RPG games is when there are a variety of crafting resource nodes around, particularly when placement makes sense.
