Why are enchanting nodes so rare?

I could travel half across a zone and barely come across 1-3 nodes. Every node only gives ONE rune stone. Every craft needs aspect stones which is 1/3 chance of coming across an aspect node when nodes are hard enough find already.

All these make enchanting a pain in the ass to progress. Are these intended or an oversight?

    They can be sparse - what is really tricky though is all the space needed to save all those runes in the first place. I never complained about storage till friends started giving me their runes. They eat up space. I know you have to make choices in this game, but if you want to be an enchanter those are tough ones to make.
    Celebrate for life is short but sweet for certain.

    Best thing you can do is get the perk that highlights them and go out at night because then they are visible from a large distance away. I've got that many that I have had to stick a load in the guild bank. I do agree though that aspect are the hardest to come by. To be honest I'm glad its like this because it will separates the men from the boys so to speak and people will give up as with the other crafts which leave the real crafters to make a ton of money given time.

    There will always be people that brute force it by farming instances and buying mats with cold hard cash, I'm doing it purely off what I find and if I don't even find or dismantle the Racial stones (BS/Cloth/WW) then I wont buy them.

    I use ~20+ bank slots just for enchanting and after farming 15 of each I couldn't even level the piece of crap..... yay for one level, and that was 6-7 and only from discovery xp

    On the starter islands, runes are fairly plentiful. (Of course, that doesn't help after you've left it. )

    The lack of runes on top of the fact its EXTREMELY slow to level makes enchanting a god awful profession. It will be fixed, I have no doubt it will become much easier like alchemy or any of the other skills.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    I've actually noticed since release that there seem to be less runes appearing in the areas. During beta, I didn't have any problems finding them usually. Now for some reason there seem to be fewer and fewer. I'm not having that problem with any of the other gathering nodes or I would think it's just because there are more players logged in gathering them. I guess I'll have to get that perk and see if it's just me being blind this go around.

    Agree, with this, I spent skill points on the perk that helps you spot them thinking that I was just missing them, but nope, they are far to rare and it is far to expensive to buy enchantments to break down.
    What is written above are my honest opinions. If you agree then; "Great!" If you disagree; "Great!" I really couldn't care less either way.
