Now this wouldve of been a good change if they specifically increased herbs spawn rates but instead they decided to make it so high level herbs have a chance at dropping black lotus, ive done herbalism many times and find it very fun relaxing and chill but anniversary servers have made me realize that having a mega server filled with bots and set locations of herbs make it impossible for a normal person to collect any at all,
I spent roughly an hour in each zone yesterday to see how the change would affect herbalism and its clear that bots are running rampant and herbs are pretty much non existent , seriously how do the devs not understand that by making this change bots would increase and instead of just going after black lotus they have now decided to collect every herb , this fresh server has made it clear the classic team doesn’t have a clue on what there doing and weather thats due to resources or pure negligence the easy change that would help the economy and making herbalism not purely a bot farm would be increase every herbs spawn rates and when you have mega server like no other version of classic era this is what happens seriously blizzard its getting to the point where i just assume that the bots are more important then the average player
It’s fine. Didn’t read your message by the way.
Go to DME and do jump runs.
wow dude you must be so cool
Yeah herbing in the open world isn’t viable. I’ll have to do lasher runs on my priest.
Please increase node spawn rates or make less players per layer. Enough said. No whining.
“That’s a lot of words… TOO BAD I’m not reading em’!”
Need to add other herbs to jump runs or just multiply respawn outside
Yes, bots are still a problem (I have seen an increase since yesterday in fact). However, it’s still improvement for those who aren’t looking for their maximum ROI.
I’m not sure you understand the corner they are in. Many players they want/need are using game contract breaking transactions to stay competitive… They know that. They are slapping abusing players with some 2week bans but the real problem is the bots.
They like to do ban waves there. It’s better for them because they wait the correct amount of time for cancel/reversal of payment of accounts that use these bots. This means that no one gets stuck holding the bag when they close out these accounts. No one can do a reversal.
Actually true. They can’t instaban because they’d lose the money. So sad
Its almost as if forced Megaservers are hot garbage.
Hear me out…
What if everyone had the same idea as you and went out into the world to test the new herb changes and basically eradicated all herbs…
Bots are definitely still a problem, but it’s pretty apparent that almost everyone had the same idea and started herbing like crazy.
so now you want even more herbs (and miners want more thorium veins) 
it never ends.
oh yeah forsure a increase in players but you can tell when you see a bot whos level 60 in all green with random letters for there name
Go in DME, jump down, kill lashers, herb. Zero competition.
We just want an authentic vanilla experience, which means the herbs should be a similar ratio to players
Gee, who saw this coming?
Oh wait, I did…
Pretty pathetic that you have borderline exploit a a dungeon just to get herbs because blizz is too lazy to make more servers or fix the layers…Degens
This is what happens when the raiding population isn’t dynamic but the number of layers to farm is.
In other to sustain the raiding pop we need 10 layers 24/7 or dramatically increased spawn rates for nodes. This is literally the ONLY issue in the game rn and every other “issue” is a symptom that stems back to this.
