Guild Wars 2

Very simple…. having the gathering nodes randomly relocate EVERY SINGLE TIME you leave and re-enter a map is becoming epidemic and impossible to deal with.
There is a reason that players have created 3rd party websites expressly for the purpose of mapping node runs.
I certainly don’t mind taking the time to go through a map and plot out the location of the nodes I’m interested in, but I do think it’s a reasonable expectation to be able to then take advantage of my efforts by taking my alts thru that same map and not having to repeat that process … for at least one day.
This bug that randomly resets the node locations seems to be getting worse and affecting more and more maps.
Please prioritize correcting this situation … it dramatically and negatively affects play.

This isn’t a bug. Nodes reset for two reasons. 1.) A patch. 2.) If a map becomes empty, the nodes reset.

If you’re noticing more node resets, that’s a server population issue.

It still wouldn’t hurt if they let the maps stay open for maybe 5 minutes when the last player leaves, so that you can at least log to another character without having a reset in the few seconds that it takes.

Its also common in other MMOs that instances live for 5-15 minutes when you leave them, and so you can relog for example if you crash in a solo instance and continue from where you were, and not like here in personal story where you have to redo the complete thing.
