Pretty much the whole experience nowadays with the high influx of players on high pop servers (and the lower pop servers aint better - because mostly farmers moved there).
Bottom line - not enough nodes and farming is just unpleasant and more toxic than pvp. Full of bots and people literally camping nodes 24/7. Farming is awful.
Ps. I dont want him to get banned - i found this interactrion pretty hilarious. Also he had a good mic - i could listen to more insults from him 
I am dropping this here for consideration and trying to align same issue topics.
Also this thread
There are plenty of other topics about it as well. Plenty of good sollutions proposed in my opinion by the community. Its just it was never adressed in any of the topix by either mods or the devs sadly. Just because Brimstone Sands are comind that doesnt mean the problem will go away - especially with all the new materials coming in the update - people will be standing in queue lines to farm them.
Farming is just miserable experience these days.
Then pick up your pitchfork, peasant and join the riot! 
just farm in a less trafficked area, windsward isn’t the only territory that has fibre
There’s also the fact that people will drop tents on the nodes you’re farming. Lots of assholes especially in Yggdrasil.
It’s make the game very toxic with this competition of few resources.
Please fix.
PVP … FIGHT FOR RESSOURCES and stop to be PVE cowards !
That what was New World was meant for …
I am just glad I am a skills grandmaster, and I don’t craft, oh hell no. The effort it take s to farm this shit and then have it exponentially gobbled up in a tiered refining system. I don’t sell my resources either. Not at those sweat shop prices.
It is a horrible blight to have a black market operate in what is suppose to be an immersive relaxing environment.
I actually love stuff like this XDD
Dont think AGS want to encurage toxic behavior? Maybe leave it to the PvP faction wars instead.
Gathering should be relaxing and fun, at the moment its just stressfull, toxic and boring.
For me that clip looked hekkin great. But maybe it’s age or so.
For me it’s perfection, and I got my adrenaline even up by just looking at who gets that Hemp first xDD.
Opinions differ. You like a boring sologame without players contesting. I find vast lands of only npc’s around boring as hell.
Contact like this make the game hilarious and memorable xDD
Nodes need to be dynamic instead of static but I don’t think AGS is capable of doing that or else they’d have done it by now.
It does im not arguing over that - but maybe some middle ground wouldnt be bad. Sometimes its just nice to chill a little while playing instead of contesting every hemp on the island
Two solutions to this issue:
Faster respawn of lower tier resources would be a simpler solution…
Faster respawn would be bad because BOTS would be farming nonstop for 12 hours during nighttime, and daytime.
Remove any form of player trading in the game and market. All crafting is individual, and stuff is only sold to npc. This solve the black market. Everything is personal achievement.
I have been gone since April, returning for Fresh Start… I did not know bots are still such an issue… I believed AGS when they say they fixed the bot issue… foolish me
Some players cant stand an rollover. x.0
Most of the younger crowd will always want toxic PVP shit like these.
