Feels like every other herb/ore node disappears when I try to gather it and it’s been like this for years now. If enough people have gathered it and it has expired then why doesn’t it just disappear straight after the last person used it instead of just sitting there empty to disappear when the next person tries to gather it?

So true, downright frustrating.

Because people felt worse when someone snatched it from right under their nose than if it disappears 30 seconds after someone looted it.
Especially if you get into combat and someone swoops in to loot it.
Also, think of the poor multiboxers.

server layering, cross realming, zone phasing… this game is ruined to the ground.
I’d rather enjoy mining like in classic where people were stealing it and thus the price was high, than this stupid everything to everyone approach and ruin the economy of the whole game with regionwide austion house also… and then have 3 ores in a row that just disappear when you fly to them and consume vigor for nothing.
Clap. Truth must be spoken.

I don’t know about anyone else but I would be happier if it just disappeared even if it got snatched on me, it did make me rage if someone took a rich thorium deposit I was fighting for but at least that makes more sense. More sense than a node with no one around disappearing into thin air. I wonder if it’s on a timer or something, I was standing beside a node in Hallowfall alt tabbed but could still see the game screen, no one was around but it conveniently disappeared when I started gathering it lol
Feel free to ask this community for their stance on having to compete with other players for open world objects/mobs etc., but we all know what they’ll say.

Oh my God, yes, this. I either walk up to a node and it disappears, or it disappears as I’m halfway through gathering it.

Let’s not forget the bots that are constantly appearing now . Dozen of druids with 1.7 m or 2.6 mill at 80 lvl.
Checking several druids , and they still have the 70 start ~bot gear: )*

That drove me insane at times. I spot an herb with a mob so i attempt to kil it only for somebody to swoop in and attempt to take it.
I say attempt since i would normally pop shadowmeld if engaged and then reverse the roles. They get the aggro and then i can, in peace, right in front of their face, take the herb while they watch.
This make me roll around on the floor sometimes when they died.

I rather have the old vanilla style with single use
It seems a very bad joke from Blizzard or its developers aren’t good enough to fix this problem.
I got my alt farming for herbs and minerals and I get mad when it happens 3 times in a row, especially while i’m looting and it says i can’t loot that item right now.
Just can’t believe, after so much complaining for so long, that Blizzard didn’t do anything to solve this. 
Nope. The worst is when it reappears behind your back…

Or you get knocked back by the bombs and when you start again is disappears

Sometimes I think Blizzard devs resent us. We’re super critical of them as a company and a very rarely all happy. The forums alone proves that. There’s nothing really universally loved about the game.
When people are placed in the position of virtual godhood, those little people start looking like ants for the magnifying glass rather than people.
Or in this case - Why do we need exploding mine nodes!?!

What SHOULD happen is…If you’ve already started mining it shouldn’t disappear till after it’s mined. As long as you’ve clicked on it. Super frustrating. Had one the other day that disappeared mid picking it up after my mining cast had finished!
