I can understand that. but there's lots of issues with foraging, like many people killing newbs or anyone foraging on areas they perceive as 'theirs'. we've had this same issues on areas we could have claimed, but chose not to so that others can forage them freely, only to find others claiming them and disallowing the general playerbase using them, which to me is worse than areas which are botted, since at least a bot wont attack you or track trespassing scents for u foraging there.
but we have a variety of foraging areas, so I guess to me it doesn't seem like a major issue, since I can try one area, if I find nothing i'll just port somewhere else to forage. but I can see why it's an issue for many people
