I’m so unbelievably fed up of this bug or whatever is happening. Gathering is already annoying enough so when you are just about to get your herb, it disappears, it’s even more annoying. This has been a problem for such a long time and it needs a proper fix. My bug reports over the years have done nothing. I cannot be the only person bothered by this.

Nothing to fix here, this is intended.
Once someone pick ups node there is a timer, when it runs out node will despawn and go into respawn pool. If it just despawned it means someone looted it few moments ago. This increase values of rare nodes as they are picked more often, hence despawning more often hence spending more time in respawn pool than actually spawned. You might be not be the only one bothered by it, but you might be one of very few ppl not realizing it aint a bug.

As Darathenas says, it’s not a bug, it’s an intended function.
It seems likely that someone has been ahead of you on the same route, picking the herbs at a similar rate and causing them to despawn just when you get to them.
But I thought herb and mining nodes were changed to personal “viewing”. Therefore the actions of other people should not affect what you see.
They are, just not right away, so multiple ppl can mine from single node within given time window, but first one starts the timer. Which is why high value nodes becomes rarer as they get cherry picked as explained above.
thank you for explaining until i understand
