You will remove Stag Form gathering, they will use Sky Golem, think of better fix because slogans thrown left and right won’t make game better.

Make nodes personal.
Job done.

Then single bots will still joink em, making it even harder for normal players to farm them, and even more annoying when a bot joinks it in front of u
Joink?

No, it isn’t. The fact that you can chain link them with “Follow” is and that’s why I said “follow” needs to go.
Sure, but it won’t happen because from a business standpoint multoboxing gives more benefits than problems and they already banned 3rd party software which was the main issue in multiboxing so it’s at least part of the problem is gone.
The other part can be simply solved by removing the “follow” option since it’s a mostly useless option anyway 
Better yet, personalized nodes.

Unless Blizzard make them truly personal: they only appear for that character on that shard.
Another thread on this topic I saw earlier gave a further suggestion on this - make gathering herbs/ore into a little minigame. I know a lot of people didn’t like the Tortollan WQs but I did - but the idea behind it, as in, making gathering more complex than one single click would also be discouraging without having to remove anything from the game. In fact, it’s adding to the game.
And how exactly it will stop people with bunch of accounts not get loot from those nodes on each account they own?
Because if each node can only be collected once, there’s no way someone can line up their 8 accounts to collect it??
Nodes are already collectible one per character and the only thing you can do is to limit how many people can collect given node. The problem is that if you change it from current like 8-10 uses to just ONE you will screw everybody and create a new problem.
It will make herbs rarer, sure. But until a solution for that problem can be found, herb prices will rise on the AH which will be good for non-boxing gatherers and it will also create a much larger immediate dent in the boxers collecting herbs - because removing travel form herbing from druids makes it harder to do what they do. 1-use nodes stops them from being able to do it entirely.
Yehh, but then bots can still harvest for life, but then it will only become harder to track for players, plus they will have infinite nodes as well… Only real solution is that they just have to pay attention to their servers and have someone assigned to keep the shards clean (cuz with a simple /who bastion you can see who’s a bot and who isnt)
Imean they can try to compromise as much as they want, but they will just work around it and find another way to do it.
I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think this is a fix. People who do this kind of thing will just find the next fix, pick another class and continue.
But… I do wish they would remove it form druids for other reasons. That reason being me being jealous as well as… we can ride druids. That could be the only function of the stagform 
But I think the best fix could be if they assign a couple of players/gms/trainees per realm with good account rep (and not ingame rep, but accounts that have never been flagged for toxicity/hacks/griefing etc and that have been active for a long time as well) who can take action against them (dont need to be full GM’s but they can take small actions, for example force disconnect/disband group/make priority reports and stuff like that) Im sure there are thousands of players who would sign up for that just to make the game better. Cuz the problem is that it’s the worst at night, cuz then they just activate their bots and go to bed. And no gm’s are active at night.
Because right now reporting feels like it does nothing, ive done hundreds of reports and its only getting worse by day. Meanwhile they have a huge pile of tickets that still gotta be taken care of from the launch, so I dont feel like its gonna be taken care of anytime soon as well…
Idk, I feel like there are enough possibility’s to make it better 
Ergh.
Play tank spec = don’t get dazed.
Put on a harness = don’t get dazed or dismounted(made by leatherworkers in BFA at least)
Herbalism enchant, quick looting!
Sky Golem = faster than druid travelform.
My mage is my herbalist. I’m just using the tools I have available to have better benefits than a druid in travelform. Sure, more hassle as the harness has to be crafted and only last for 2 hours, but otherwise it’s golden.
Blizzard could also limit the number of nodes available, increase the respawn times, force the character to log off for a period of time before the nodes respawn, etc. There are a number of different things that they could do to combat the problem they basically spawned with multi-tap nodes, but unless they do something like this:
Bots will just switch from gathering nodes, if it is unprofitable, to kill farming like the good old days.
Also, you have a working /who? I’ve not been able to get that command working for a little while now.
When u use the normal /who it also puts the level in (so if you are on a lvl 45 char it only scans chars 43-49 I think), I just go to social tab and only fill in the zone in the searchbar and that has been working fine for me 
And about the nodes, I think a lot of players who dont have any idea how bad the botting problem is, are not gonna be happy with those changes, I would have the same, if I wanna herb 3 hours while watching a movie, I dont wanna be forced to log off and reset my timer.
They can easily fix people to watch the zones, im sure gms are able to quicky see how crowded shards are, and it seems normal they should be able to just phase to that shard to see what’s going on. If they made it hard for gms to do that then i dont know how they ever moderated the game

You are just going from one extreme to another replacing one problem with another which is even worse because price will skyrocket and with it price of many other things crafted from herbs will skyrocket.
Yup. Which is why the banhammer should be wielded sooner and more frequently so the rest of us can have nice things.
