Nah, if they wouldn't be claimable in the first place, "the major factions " would not be walling them in to have a infinite source of crystals, because your wall is breakable in a hour therefore it would not be worth the effort to wall in the said node unlike right now, you need to pull off a full siege to succesfuly break the pclaim on the node which takes alot of effort and is retarded. And the noobs wouldn't have to leave scents, which is a major turnoff for the "noobs" to get them in the first place I think. Especially, now, when they made that you can know the exact time they will spawn by inpsecting on them it's even easier to get them and it has much higher potential now to bring their main purpose in the game: "nodes to fight over", especially you would see fights over salt nodes and icicles early world if that would been a thing this world beginning(that you can inspect them to know the time they spawn) since you everyone in area will know when exactly it's spawning. Ability to vclaim them, should be removed too in the next world.
