Pet project: Outfit overhaul.
[Suggestion] Home Instance Gatherer NPC
Pet project: Outfit overhaul.
Not in favor of this idea.
Plok, I can understand the sentiment. Have seen this feature in other games like ESO. Likewise have a fully stocked Guild Hall and have helped a number of home instances acquire nodes. That said I am not for it here. The reason for this is based on your own statement:
“TL;DR: home instance + guild hall nodes gathering is hardly worthwhile anymore.”
The reason it is not worth it is simply supply versus demand. By adding an NPC you only further increase supply which further drives down the demand and therefore value of those said items. We need further demands for materials to have them have more value. Auto gathers work in ESO since it is first come first serve on any open world node limiting supply. GW2 people are more in favor in things that require less and less materials to acquire which further drives down demand. I would prefer to offer value to those actually doing gathering versus the impact on further reducing demand. Good gathering!

Why gather at all if it’s not worth it to you? Just don’t go into your home instance then at all. Why add this if it’s just not worth it to gather at all?
Here’s a problem with this though, this item’s value would depend 100% on wether or not you have a bunch of buddies ingame with the most valuable stuff in their instances, offering “advantages” to those in guilds with a lot of these people compared to those who aren’t.

No because you can only gather from one home instance per day (technically, each node can only be gathered from once per day regardless of which instance it is in).
I would also like an NPC to do Auric Basin meta for me, please.
Yeah, no, don’t think that’s gonna happen.
Not worth it? I make 50s-1g per day by diving into mine, and that’s just from what I sell. I end up with a backlog of materials that also have value. I’m super glad to share it with the guild, when they have time.
That said, I wouldn’t balk at the idea of a gathering minion for the guild hall and home instance, especially if he comes with keys to open my loot boxes. No more spending map currencies for keys ..probably means less map participation, so I’m out of luck on that one. :P
Really though, can we get a Noxious Pod for the home instance?

It’s worthwhile to me. I like taking a break from “hurr durr killz EvRyThInG” and relax by gathering for a few minutes.
