Suggestions/Comments: Allow multiple players to gather from the same herb, tree, stone etc.

I've been in a large lifeskill guild for many years and we all wish we could gather & chat at the same locations.

With the current system, a gathering location can only support one player. 99% of the time, if a new player arrives at a location where another player is already gathering, the new player will just swap servers. Gatherers typically don't initiate PvP, such as duels or flagging on the other player.

It's always felt lonely while gathering in the woods. Players would enjoy gathering together in one location. I can imagine dozens of players gathering stone, herbs, and saps together, which would encourage player interaction in a positive way. Players who are new to gathering can chat with other veteran players at the same gathering location and learn the ropes of lifeskilling.

Loot would not be shared or changed in any way. The sole purpose of this feature is to allow multiple people to gather materials at the same locations.

Thank you for your time.

What?!!!!! Not fight over resources?!!!!! Not see other players as obstacles to be over-come??!!!!! This is a cut-throat, single-player game, dad-gummit!!!!!!!!!

No, seriously, I feel the same.  It would be nice if content, especially content like this could be a lot more group-friendly.

They made some grind-zones re-spawn super fast.  Why not let trees, rocks, shrubs, etc?......

i'd love a system like this , or akin to the one that Tera had

This would be such a nice change that would make gathering and lifeskilling have a different purpose and community than grinding.

Not sure why they have to make even the low effort relaxing part of the game have to have some level of unhealthy competition.

they already have the code to do that like all platoon can gather same blue whale why not same herb ,stone ,tree etc 

That would be really nice! =)

In my opinion it doesnt make sense

Say what you really want, Marni Gathering rotations.  

An absolutely great idea. It'd be nice to be able to go gather without immediately having to jump channels everytime I find someone else already there as I don't want to mess up their gathering rotation.

A great example of this was the recent event that was going on involving gathering. I went to Pilgrim's Haven to participate, found a lot of players already there, swapped channels, and found a lot of players on that channel as well. The resource I needed was best gathered there and I had no interest in putting effort into gathering something I didn't need so this was the only place for me. Because I couldn't find a free spot for the resource I needed I decided not to participate in the event at all. I put the resource I wanted on pre-order and went back to afk tasking... 

I'd love to be able to go somewhere and not immediately be disappointed because other players are there, and being forced to see them as obstacles to my gameplay instead of fellow players.

That would be anti-social which is the exact opposite of the point of the post. People want to hang out with each other while gathering in the same spot, to socialize.
