I can remember this happening as far back as cata, but Dragonflight is definitely by long and far the most rife with it. At least for me. Drives me crazy every time I try to do a bit of gathering. 
ah that’s right, forgot we could obtain explosives for that. I wonder if engineers can make some as well…hmm probably not but worth looking into maybe.

Either they don’t care or it’s on purpose to create honey pots for position hackers. Well, small chance it’s a bug and they only have YZ positions and get placed on the first thing they hit as if dropped.
Either way, it’s a bad decision to leave them as is given how frustrating and time wasting it is to deal with these. And even if they are honey pots they’re probably not that effective. Just white list all the good nodes and don’t have bots go after nodes that haven’t been confirmed as reachable.
If it’s a QA / time thing you think they would have implemented something like counting how many times a node is harvested. Node A, 500k times. Node B, 0 times. Maybe we should check B’s placement.
If I can’t get to the node in like ten seconds I just skip it. Ain’t nobody got time for that BS.
Some nodes are not nodes ,they are place markers for warden.
But it’s not frustrating or time wasting. They won’t fix them, because 99% can be reached with the interact key.
Interact key gets you there faster. 
lol…have you see the mining node at the end of the over hanging tree branch ?
What’s an interactive key?
Seen them in the air ,under trees in walls , and in rocks <not caves.

I do a fair bit of farming in DF and nope havent notice too many of them. Maybe 1 or 2 but that about it. There are some that’s located in caves which I just ignore and they get greyed out anyways soon as you get close to them on your minimap
It’s an option where you don’t have to click on the item, you just need to be near it and use the keybind you have set up for it and it’ll loot or interact.

That’s loot pick up which doesn’t work for they are talking about.
lol. DF ore just hangs out wherever it wants to, evidently.

It absolutely works for gathering. I use it all the time.
Not in rocks ,in wall and up in the air they don’t.
Yes in rocks. I use it all the time.
Have you tried them,I’m sure you never did considering .
I literally just said I use it all the time.
It’s meant to interact with things close by. I use it to mine ore
ALL THE TIME.
Really,you jest. But not all nodes I’m sure you tried the one in the dragon cave which no one mines because it can’t be mined ,I seen folk try .
I’ll just wait til others virify thast claim.
You don’t even understand how the function works. You have no room to talk.
Under terrain, in rocks, behind walls, as long as you can get close to its position, yes the interact key works. Mining is the worst for this and that’s exactly why I use the interact key.
