Herbing on this realm

Has anyone noticed a real decline after the layering removal and the transfers that came in? All the spots I had good routes with are almost barren.

Most resources are like this. Almost all good farming spots are heavily camped be it mobs, herbs, ore and the like. It’s gotten slightly better with people spending so much time in BGs now but it’s a very high pop server easily one of the most populated PvE realms. Blizzard really should have went with server caps matching retail vanilla because this game was never designed to handle such high populations online simultaneously. Also just in my opinion they pre-emptively turned off layering in a rush to get world bosses out and the most populated servers like Faerlina, Herod and Pagle were not in a position to have it turned off yet.

On top of that why they even allow server transfers into highly populated servers is beyond me, everyone is going to want to migrate to these huge servers and just make the problem worse.

Pretty much. Silithus at least was decent on dreamfoil and black lotus here and there. But man layering removal and paid xfers kinda just killed any chance of herbing myself. And since there are a few people who are tightening grip on the market its not looking good.

Yup the Mage ZF farming meta is looking pretty enticing right now.
