So what happens when I want to farm gold ore after I get my Darksteel ore?

Instead of requiring coordination and each node is individually people can farm beyond what was possible with the timers, then mix in gatherers who have multiple classes leveled I can just switch to botanist and double up on rare items because I don't need to conserve GP and can hit the nodes whenever I want.

I don't even want to think about how bad the telebots would ruin the econimy in mere moments of such an implementation as well.
