Guild Wars 2

So I have gotten in the habit of pillaging Malchor’s Leap for lumber, ore, and selected plant nodes (omnomberries, truffles & seaweed). And by pillaging I mean collecting all of the nodes of the listed type.

I have noticed that the ore nodes never respawn when the map resets (ie maintenance, or any other reset mechanism). But the lumber (well, not the Orrian Saplings, but this is explained in the wiki) and plant nodes all respawn, many in exactly the same location. I can accept that Orichalcum and Rich Mithril nodes won’t respawn, but why not the regular mithril nodes?

Is this intentional for some reason I do not understand, or is this a bug that has been overlooked for a long time?

Curious and confused.

There is a per character(not 100% sure it is per character) limit on the amount of mithril you can get from an area per period of time. Once you hit the limit all mithril nodes will show up as already mined. The limit seems different for wood. I’ve had nodes disappear right as I finished mining another one.
