Prof nodes are now worthless

gamertothebone

I use to collect all the nodes when doing my daily stuff,

Last few days....nothing but garbage

Least allow the insignia to be bound to account instead of character....

I do not see any reason to waste time on the nodes anymore.

Even if the node automatically went into my inventory as I passed if I had the appropriate items in my inventory it would barely be worth it but only because I did not spend even a single second extra gathering the items....if the current items collected took up bag space I would even ask to block the auto-pickup....if the auto-pickup was in the game was in the game.....

they are worthless now!

+1 for account bound insignia

Yeah character bound insignia is so ridiculously & pointlessly restrictive.

Since the update where they've removed some profession items from nodes, I'm just finding a lot of nodes with less in them - like 1 pointless & worthless item, where previously I'd have 3 pointless & worthless items.

I have noticed a slight increase in insignias but they are all the same type! The hardest ones to get are Regal - which is probably deliberate as they are the ones you need the most... I'm just dropping them into the guild coffer because I really don't need 10 of the same type.

Contrary to what the patch notes say, the loot table has been altered in such a way that all previous enchant slots are now blanks. Not sure if this is intended or a bug but certainly not as advertised.

Bottomline is that it is costing way more to open a skill node then any reward you'd possibly could get from it (based on a sample size of about 100), and as such I agree with the OP that I'm not opening them anymore myself because they aren't worth it. I'm cleaning out my stacks and won't be rebuying.

I'm only opening them for insignias atm - never get the ones I want though...
