I agree , its way better now in 3.0 :)
edit : I like the distance between the nodes , nothing more annoying to run around in small circles like an idiot , well now its large circles but it feels not so dull anymore :p

I think this also this might have been a great way to battle bots: A bit more randomized, have to run through fields of hard-hitting mobs, and it takes more time.
And as others has mentioned: flying is the key, as soon as you have that unlocked for the area, it is really easy =)
Flying will fix it. If you've played WoW you'll know, flying drastically increases your yield. Especially in a game that does it the correct way and makes it so only you can get resource nodes.
Between flying and no competition for nodes, you should be getting a ton of mats.
Also take into consideration the xp aspect. Everything seems to be a little less then 2.0. That said, this does benefit the cheaters more then regular players.Teleporters will not be affected by spread or the need to fly.
Stop complaining about everything.
For that you've the fly mounts.
