Silver and gold nodes bug?

[Ewix]

I think there might be something wrong with the silver and gold nodes.

They are supposed to be a rare spawn spawning instead of tin and iron, but instead it seems they are their own seperate spawn. There are several places in Ashenvale where only silver spawns, and at least one place in Stonetalon where only gold spawns.

I have also never seen a silver or a gold node spawn in place of tin or iron.

I know they changed the spawning mechanics of nodes, but they were pretty vague about what they actually changed. Is this the way it's supposed to be or is it a bug?

I noticed this last week while doing the quest [Stonetalon Standstill]. Three separate veins at Mystral Lake that spawned as silver veins ... more often than they probably should have.

Dear community,

Two weeks ago we acknowledged that collecting herbs, ores or specific leathers on the PvP realm isn't in line with the retail experience during Vanilla: the current system is not scaled to our actual population.
Therefore the IsVV and Dev teams worked together on an algorithm to extend the dynamic respawn timers to ores, herbs, and some specific creatures.
Additionally, node positions have been updated to avoid them being camped and to prevent repeated farming from the same players.

The algorithm has been applied today on the PvP realm.

Best regards,

Nodes can still be camped.

Does anyone know if the silver/gold problem existed before they changed the spawn dynamics?
