This issue is well known and will not be fixed as there is no financial incentive for a fix
just make a rogue miner
So, I am not playing this version of TBC. What’s going on with mining? Bots?
yeah, open world is kinda plagued with bots flying around, but still i do think even with no bots around instanced mining would still be better than flying around in open world
Yeah, that’s what kinda killed Classic for me. I was so excited for Wrath when it was announced. By the time TBC was done, I was done. SoD is where it’s at.
amen - it’s a time sink with little reward as is all node gathering
Bots and megaservers.
Even with layering, each layer is more populated than a normal server should be. Mining node spawns were not changed.
There’s just too many people mining too few nodes, leaving instances as the only reliable solution.
I don’t miss any of that nonsense.
I have 3 70s and 6x crafting profs. Gathering is for losers.
Same with herbalism. If I pick two nodes in a session I log off happy now.
