This statement is false, and is not what the original poster actually said. You will regenerate faster when actively gathering simply due to the fact that you can hit a node faster when actively gathering than the rate of ticks when not gathering. What the original poster said before you twisted it is that because more time is spent actively clicking nodes there is very little gain from this trait since there is a relatively small amount of travel time between nodes.

That said, I partially disagree with that statement depending on the situation. Certain types of gathering have long wait periods between nodes, and this trait will help those situations quite significantly. E.g. even only needing to wait only 4m between two timed nodes is an extra 40gp gained just from the trait. I suspect this trait was designed for those long multi-zone rotations of timed nodes where you only gather a single node once every 5 or 10 minutes. But for just straight up farming node after node without pause then no, the trait does not help much, and I suspect that is by design.
