Experiment: Make forageables common

[vatas]

If I correctly understood how Global Pool works, then my local cave system is devoid of Glimmermoss because someone on the other side of the map is botting their own cave 24/7 and emptying the pool every time it restocks?

Maybe try making local pools so that I have to deplete my cave by myself?

Bump!
Its just ridiculous how you make so much of the games content completely unavailable for majority of the playerbase. Glimmers I haven't seen in days. Edelweiss, bluebells, flotsams, never in this world.
Just revert back to how forageables spawned in legacy. This pool thing is madness, people suffer from it and 0 advantages.

I have actually pretty much stopped foraging entirely, because there is no point in doing it without botting, because stuff is TOO rare. You never find any of the good things
Is this what you want?

I would like to hear devs thought about this. Why should things like glimmer, flotsams etc. be this rare? Is it to discourage botting? I think it's doing the opposite. There should be GOOD forageables that are relatively common in mountains, caves, forests etc. too, I think. (Bluebells, glimmers, edels for example)

As some people mentioned earlier in the thread. In legacy, people still bought stuff like bluebells, edels, even though you could bot alot of them them quite easily.

I've gotten lucky and gotten a few Flots, but no Bluebells, Edels, or Glimmers, and that's with some pretty extensive cave diving.

I can't suggest any quick fixes nor do I think they'd be implemented, so it's mostly just sticking out with what we're dealt. Guess I'll be relying a lot more on ants and quicksilver globes.

That's pretty much the only non-retarded way for pools to work.

But you can implement it in very retard way. So bad idea.
(And botters would just make bots in 10 different caves and still get advantage over noobs!)

Botter will always have advantage over nab.

Botter will always have advantage over nab.

That is my point.
Why take fun away from non-botters by not giving them glimmers, while still giving botters a bit more than to noobs?

You say it is bad idea, but only reason you provide is ''botter have advantage over nab.'' This is always true, so I think not much of argument against this local pools idea. What is reason for local pool to be bad idea?

I am saying it is bad idea to have pools even local pools, because there is no advantage to having them.

Jorb/Loftar: You're doing it the wrong way, you should not implement anti-botting features that don't really punish botters but punish the regular player way more. The botters will always code a workaround. This is one of the examples, you have implemented alongside with slimes, etc... Stop designing stupid solutions that just kill the playerbase.
