Comment by ChaosMonkeyPlease make it so only the player who planted the seed can gather it. Otherwise this is just a wet dream for the botters.Comment by jive87Please make it so only the player who planted the seed can gather it. Otherwise this is just a wet dream for the botters.Comment by PeshyyThat's a great change IMO.Comment by Flowerhorn"This does, however, create an interesting possibility for players to come together to maximize herb yield."

Cool, so yeah, on paper that sounds cool.
In reality, botters get multiplicative herb gains OR you can just afk in the farm and wait for people to show up and harvest what they plant.

I agree, the herbs should be lootable by only the planter or by party members. The latter idea does nothing for the botters, as they will always do what they do, but it does cut the sour taste of showing up to potentially share seeds only to find 7 other people waiting for you to plant your seeds so they can harvest without planting any seeds themselves.Comment by onkieMake world wide herbalism captcha mini games so bots can go to hell.Comment by PaquizeIs this really what passes as a deep dive these days.Comment by Zeroxar"This does, however, create an interesting possibility for players to come together to maximize herb yield."

But man i am not going herbalism again lmao. I think made almost no money and none of the benefits from leveling the profession were worth it down the line. Alchemy/Herb on a Monk is not the play haha.Comment by SaluunGet rid of Rich Soil. All I ever see are bots abusing this system, with very little benefit to actual players.
I guess the only benefit of having these soils concentrated in one non-instanced area is that we can see all the bots and report them... not that Blizzard does anything about them since they 'pay for WoW all the same'.Comment by malicePlease make it so only the player who planted the seed can gather it. Otherwise this is just a wet dream for the botters.Comment by TalumianBeen casually following wowhead posts for years, and this is the first post that motivated me enough to make an account just so i can write a comment and express how much i dislike this change, and agree with everyone else regarding botting. Seeing 20-30 bots gathering herbs in Zaralek Caverns (and not restricted to) gave me a sense of disgust for the people doing the botting and blizzard for turning a blind eye. This new "rich soil" change will only enhance that feeling whenever (if ever) i'm going to take herbalism.

I have hopes that someone at blizzard takes into account wowhead feedback aswell, and seeing the amount of negative feedback on this might make them change this and make it so only the person planting be able to loot it.Comment by yummymilkersEven worse than what garrisons did to professions in WoD to be honest. As if the gathering professions weren't borderline worthless already, now botters are gonna destroy them even more.Comment by ChomagEat the rich soil!Comment by ChomagProfessions were awesome in DF..

A lot of people and bots will just stand around and wait for someone to plant a seed.Comment by SaadiaLet's see how Blizzard changes that to make people feel listened to....Comment by MongYiiCan’t wait for the what’s new with inscription articleComment by CaithonNo!Comment by Deviousdb1Now they're just catering to leaches with this trash. I want to know who at blizz is just doing fat likes of coke lately, because this is ridiculous.
