SIKE, JK!
You can’t loot that now.
There is no loot.
And best yet, today I saw:
“Sorry bro, your loot is in another node”

It’s a technical problem but they really need to work out a way for a node to stay active if it’s shown to a player on the minimap.
Probably present kind of a garbage collection / instance count
Get on your mount and fly to the next node. That’s all

Who has to dismount these days?
It seems to have become a thing with story sharding. If you haven’t done the quests in the area of the tease node, it will vanish. I could be wrong, just something I’ve noticed on gathering characters, I have never bothered doing the quests on them.
the bots would love it, BUUUUT
what if nodes became Account bound.
meaning it exists for that account until its mined or harvested. same respawn timers but you could garintee that the nodes you saw were yours alone and wouldn’t despawn simply because someone mined it 45 seconds ago.
This isn’t going to get fixed it’s been happening since WoD due to phasing I think. I’m surprised they still haven’t noticed it.
“Thanks for saving me, Mario, but your ore is in another castle.”

This doesn’t sound like they’re talking about phasing. It’s just someone being unlucky enough to have a node despawn mid-cast. Not much to be done about it, honestly.
Oh okay, well I have noticed in the past nodes popping up visually in range and then disappearing in front of me when I get closer shortly after. Always weird when that happens.
Maybe there was someone farming I didn’t see, but at times I saw no one.
I just wish it wouldn’t disappear if I’m mining it. Idk how many times I’ve had a node go poof when the bar was almost full, very unsatisfying.

i took the castle.
It seems like the ore and herb nodes have a timer after you see them. You have to rush to the node and get it as fast as possible or it’s going to despawn or not be lootable.
It’s not on sight, it’s after the first person harvests. I can’t remember exactly how long, but I want to say it’s about a minute. So if you seem them despawn before you can get to, or harvest them, it just means someone else is pathing ahead of you by X amount of time.

Anyone under 70 with maxed gathering professions.
If you think thats bad, come to classic where you have to fight people for nodes
Or what about that chest on the border of Waking Shore and Ohn’ahran Plains? Says it’s on the surface, but when you get there, it disappears from the map. Then you move back to Waking Shore, it pops back up, then says it’s lower, and since there’s a mountain in your way, you look for a cave entrance, which doesn’t exist. I’ve done everything in all those zones on one of my characters, and it still isn’t there.
I think they placed it in an area where the loading transition is.
The issue the OP has is more than likely just sharding happening. If you have an addon that tells you which shard you’re in, you can see it change randomly, and it usually, for me anyway, phases nodes out when it happens.
How Dare He? Sucker Punch
dunno what it would take for nodes to blink like old video game powerup items that are about to despawn
