What do you do when you reach a mat node at the same time with another player?

    Let them have it and take the extra time to reach the next node first?

    No sense getting worked up about it, nodes spawn all over the map...

    Wow, you're all so polite! Most of you seem to prefer giving the other person the chance to harvest a node first and those of you that don't make sure to not get worked up if you don't manage to click the node just a bit faster than the other person.

    You've all got such great node etiquette, and we're glad to see you're being excellent to each other!

    Challenge the scoundrel to a duel. If he accepts, the winner bears the fruit.

    If he declines, i add him to the list

    I usually let the other player take it, unless it’s ancestor silk. If it’s that, than you better believe i’m spamming the take button to get it. I wish i’d Get as much ancestor silk as I get rubidite ore and ruby ash wood. The silk just seems so scarce no matter where I am. I found a ton however, in Bleackrock last night. I was rushing to every one that I found lol.

    I remember my time as a lowbie, seeing a desireable node behind some mobs only to have some guy grab it while I was busy with the mobs.

    I decided then I would never be that guy.

    If I see someone else near it and that they want it or seem like they might want it, I let it go.

    First come first serve. I made a run I need reward. If I won't make it first, I turn to another node.
    Why not? Entire game is made around being first.

    My go to is Eastmarch, start at jorunns stand and head all the way west to Fort Amol in basically a straight line, then back. Mutiple condensed groups of silk nodes, plus random ones in between

    If I see them coming I throw a spear on the node, forcing them to synergize instead.

    I usually try and click 1st but that usually fails 90% of the time due to old age and fingers that no longer work as intended lil. I'm definitely going to start trying this here on out lol.

    If someone is obviously going to get there before me I just skip it, otherwise I'm only wasting my own time. Like someone else said though, there is no "at the same time" - one person is always first to click it. I don't get personally offended if it's not me, I just move on to the next one.

    Don't steal a node from someone fighting a mob though, that just makes you a jerk.

    Usually I try to take it, may the fastest win, but when someone is fighting mobs beside of a node I leave it alone, that wouldn't be fair.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    I find this post oddly annoying. I'm like, you're the ones that made it competitive in the first place.

    And the original post title is when we arrive at the same time. It didn't mention the reality of when you are engaged with the nearby mob and some $&-& takes the node because you're in combat.

    Yeah, we're all "excellent" to each other then... *Notes death threats*

    If I'm farming in an area where 1 or 2 other people are also farming, as long as they haven't been trolling me, or acting rudely, I will let them have the node and I'll just move on to the next. Or, if I know a chest is about to spawn (or should have spawned) nearby, I'll let them have the node and I will dash for the chest. That being said, I usually try to go in a different direction from the other people farming to try and create physical space, so I don't often get to a node at the same time as someone else.

    Why not add a pvp aspect into farming nodes in PvE; like when two players go for the same node they automatically enter a duel...

    If I see someone running towards the same node I just keep on going past it because even if I reach it first I will click and nothing happens, then they will grab it right from under me a leave me standing there like a fool.

    Unless i see someone is clearly fighting mobs in order to get node / chest whatever. Then i'll let them have it.

    It is everyones personal choice how they want to react to something.
    Some choose to get angry.
    I am happy as well to see that many make better choices!

    And yes. Not getting worked up about the small stuff makes the game a much nicer place for everyone involved! And life healthier for us gamers who often have to watch our blood pressure anyhow thanks to lack of other exercise... :p;)

    I rarely have it happen for the reason that when I farm, I focus on one thing that I am after for the reason that I want alot of it and want plentiful harvest to proc only on that particular thing, leaving a lot of other types of nodes behind and whatever else except for chests etc.

    Honestly, I make a snap judgment about the earnestness of the other player before deciding to pull up short or dive in to click it first.
