The gameplay around gathering professions would feel so much better if you reduced the amount of nodes and increased the amount of materials you gather from one instead of having to stop every 5sec. Especially now when we have Skyriding!
I know that we can gather while mounted and you gain a vigor for taking a node. But at the moment it feels like you have to choose between doing quests / world quests / going somewhere or gather else you’d just be stuck in a constant loop of stopping to gather.
Reducing the amount of nodes and instead slightly increase the amount of materials gained from one node would in my opinion make the gameplay around it feel way smoother.
