Rich Ori Veins
As far as I know, they nerfed the node in Southsun due to guesting- if they hadn’t nerfed it, you’d have been able to mine the thing three times a day by jumping onto other servers, not counting any alts you may have (as nodes are per character, not per account). By that logic, since WvW isn’t affected by guesting, the rich node in EB would be left alone.
A guildmate seemed to have confirmed this yesterday, but I can’t recall if he actually saw it or was speculating.

Do you remember where in the puzzle the rich node was? because I found this normal node right before the dark room.
The EB one isn’t always there. Wiki says it’s glitched, too.
I can confirm that it is bugged, I was there again just last night, and it said that it was a rich vein, but it only let me hit it three times instead of 10.

The Southsun node was not nerfed due to guesting. Players had already tested prior to the patch implementing guesting whether the node is tied to the server, and found that it wasn’t – in other words, you could mine the node, transfer servers, and find that on the new server, you had no node (until the 24 hour respawn period had elapsed).
That said, since the patch notes only mention nerfing the Southsun node, it’s reasonable to assume that the EB node is intended to remain Rich – but it was bugged prior to the patch and remains bugged, so who knows.
