Herb and ore nodes personal

Does it even matter when it takes 10 minutes to list a single item on the AH?

FF14 does personal nodes, people aren’t fighting over resources.

The same game also watered down the importance of crafting and gathering to the point where it isn’t nearly as profitable as it is in either WoW or TESO outside of some very niche recipes.

I’m sorry what?
I’m making millions in FFXIV by just crafting and selling the things.
Not profitable ?! Crafting in FFXIV is the way to make money fast.

As someone mentioned make a Cd or red colour if its about to despawn

Make some nodes personal only (scaling with professions)

aye at least making the icon on the mini map turned red if it enters it last 20 sec is the least they can do. then for those who like the current system nothing will change but for us we can decide to land or not to land without the worry it may disappear the last second

I genuinely feel like mining and herbalism are completely and utterly pointless unless you’re playing on some super dead realm where no bots would bother selling their stuff. People just bot/multibox farm these professions while you actually bother to take the time to farm them just to watch the nodes disappear all the time on you which if the above wasn’t demotivating is just the final nail in the coffin. And you go and sell them on the AH or try do other professions with them but the amount you need to actually make something valuable you’re taking 100 times more to get than all the bots/multiboxers do that it’s simply better for your existence and time if you just unlearn the gathering profession and buy the stuff off of AH

Materials are region-wide, so you still compete with everyone else in Europe even if you play on a low pop realm. Cross-server sharding also makes it so that even if you’re on a dead server, people from other realms compete for the resource nodes (or for the two worms that spawn every three minutes during some world quests).

Also who the hell thought that dynamite on a node was a fun gimmic?
Like, the heck Blizzard ?!

Probably to give botters a bad time but it’s also punishing players.

I only have mining and herbing and sure i dont make the big money but i have a steady income thats more then enough

[Subtilizer-kazzak]

yeah that’s true but I mean that the auction house will be less if at all filled with non-manually-farmed materials making the prices higher and actually worth doing the actual gathering professions despite the way the nodes work
