Yea... that needs to be adjusted one way or another.

Agreed. I beat on a Gigas with a hammer when turning in once. No dice on participation. So why am I being made to participate again?

Someone clearly hasn't reached level 50 and understands how unspoiled nodes work.

Really? I mean really? I reaaallly hope SE does not listen to this BS. As a gatherer you are in the OPEN world with mobs AND FATES, it is part of the landscape and part of being a gatherer. If a fate happens to spawn on an unspoiled node, tough sh*t, you move on to the next one. Its part of the world we play in. We get stealth and sprint to help deal with other aggressive situations. Fates popping on an unspoiled node is crap luck and rage quitting because of it is asinine. It’s already boring enough as it is, wanting it to be even more care bear is just plain wrong.

...except that the node for crawler cocoons spawns once per hour in the same spot every time hur dur you're so smart!

100% support, it's really annoying.

It would be nice for FATE mobs to not effect gatherer's. I was trying to fish at the goblin pond, and during the gob fate, people would run over to me and have the gobs drop bombs on me -.- it was frustrating...

You can always ask people to pull mob(s) away from your node, or even switch to your DoW or DoL job to help kill the fate. Sure it make take awhile to get your GP recharged when it ends but if these high-end nodes are that important to use, then save or by cordials so you can quickly get your GP back. There are called Full Active Time Events for a reason.
