cant we make them personal in 2024? or at least let their icon show red if there about to disappear. its very unmotivated if you almost cast the full bar to mine only to let it disappear on the last millisecond because some1 before it already tap it. and with the amount of gathers atm including bots changing routes makes barley difference.
so at least would be nice if you already can see on the minimap that that particular node is about to disappear ( if there is a addon like that please let me know) . but nicer would be if nodes didn’t disappear at all but rather disappear for you only once mined like a personal cooldown rather then a world cooldown.

It would be nicer if the nodes didn’t disappear at all. Its very inconvenient.

ye its annoying as hell.
Tbh, they just useful for leveling. Better avoid them later or know where to stand. 
FF14 does personal nodes, people aren’t fighting over resources.
Works great.
Be neat if they overhauled gathering professions into minigames instead of the bland one with got in WoW, especially for Fishing.

They need to keep it bot/multiboxer friendly because $$$.

This would be nice as a anti-botter measurement but unfortunately botters still make blizzard money so I doubt it would happen.
They were personal in one expansion and then they went and reversed it.
Actually preferred that it was personal, gets rid of one style of toxicity in the game.

They kind of are now? I found that if you start mining it even if the other person finishes it first you still get it.
Only if you’re there fast enough.
Already had multiple disappear on me last second

I find it more annoying when its just you and the node still disappears when you finish it and you get nothing. It just fades away like youve been teleported to another layer or something

iirc they last a minute after getting tapped, and disappear sooner after a few others have gathered off it.
I thinks nodes work fine the way it is. I never have that much problems with them despawning on me. unless im flying the same farming circle right behind someone else doing the same.
However the main issues causing problems with the ores are botters and multiboxxers
In vanilla only 1 person can pick the herb and then it disappears, they changed because it was frustrating when you were fighting a mob and someone else swooped and stole your herb/mine, yet the solution was to make it EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING.
As someone mentioned make a Cd or red colour if its about to despawn
Make some nodes personal only (scaling with professions)

I usually skip the dynamite ores as they only give like 1 ore anyway. The annoyance is not worth it, when all the other node types give more ores at less inconvenience.

You’d then have to implement a cooldown on when you would again be able to refarm the same node. This would make botting even more lucrative since they’d have accurate information on when to refarm the same node.
Ironically, it’s actually a positive mechanic. It may be annoying, but it makes it harder for bots and multiboxing druids.
damn druids…ruining my blacksmithing immersion.
