Like Elite chests can we make tier 4 and 5 resource nodes be gatherable once per day or every 12 hours. I like doing my own gathering and didnt have much of a problem going out doing my own when my server had 1000-1200 people on per day.
Now every time (no matter what part of the day) I go to try and farm wirefibre, ori, lodestone or ironwood for the most part there are usually 2-3 or more people just sitting there waiting for the nodes to respawn. Constantly throughout my travels up and down Aeternum I just see people who are afk for 90% of the day and wait for these to spawn to farm. I propose we can only personally farm each node once every 1 or 2 hours* as that will encourage movement and not static gameplay that rewards people for just standing there.
Prices are already high and the only people who are making cooldowns without spending money on materials are the bots sitting on ori and lodestone nodes all day and night. Whats your point
It doesnt have to be so long as 12 hours but even an hour cooldown will make people move on from their spot if they cant farm for another hour. Just annoying to see the same people every day at the same spots at different times.
If you cant mine the same node for an hour you wouldnt stay there, you would move onto the next farming spot. The only people this hurts are people who just sit on the nodes 24x7. I don’t see a downside to it and it wouldnt affect prices it would just mean bots couldnt farm the same nodes constantly
im presuming he’s implying that these are instanced base per player and if you think it would get worse off of being instance base you’d be crazy if literally everything is in the game gathering wise was instanced youd spend hours gathering stuff per character.
Yeah I thought 12 hours might work but then I thought about it some more and changed it to an hour because thats more than enough time for nodes to reset for personal gathering. The only people this affects are people standing on the same nodes constantly day in and night or have alts that just sit next to nodes. Its just frustrating going to an area and spending time to go there and there is always the same people that just sit there. I am happy to go around the map and do my own but when people are just static bots like this it just makes the experience lame
