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

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.

"In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."

    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 :)

    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.

    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 always find the lack of ponies disturbing.
    Really, I didn't notice.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    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

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