No, the point is that they don’t matter for those trying to herb/mine because there’s a lack of nodes. Speaking from personal experience, I can get more ore/herbs faster and more time efficiently by farming gold to buy them over going out to farm them. If I break down how much gold I can farm per hour vs how much ore/herb I can farm per hour, it’s cheaper to buy raw mats over farming them. I don’t even have the most efficient gold farm available at my fingertips; the gap is insane. That’s a huge problem for the game.
