We have an item drop log, we can look in our inventory, so why do I care about the window? Let me keep gathering nodes and not have to abuse the game by pressing r before the window comes up to start my next gather. Just let me gather the next thing.

Please make it so I don't have to press R to collect the things I'm gathering. Just let me press r on the material node and then put everything that it gives me into my inventory. If it doesn't fit because your bag is too full, then bring up the window or have an overflow bag that deletes in 10 minutes if not collected or discarded.

omfg please can we have it please do this omg please

There is in labs a tracker since ages also... But they dont bring it.

or make loot pop out of the gathered object so pets can do the work of picking up items.
