Events created by Gatherers.

It's as simple as the title suggests. I think it would be a great tool for gathering certain materials or quantities of a material in zones to cause events that other players can come to deal with. I believe these types of events would fall under the category of "Pop-up triggered events".

Are you near the shore fishing in your fishing boat, catching a ton of stripers? Well the thrashing of the fish drew in dangerous sea monsters, evacuate or deal with the problem. Did you mine out the rare ruby crystals from this quarry? The earth elementals have something to say about that. Run or fight them off. Did you just pluck the last flower in the druid's grove? Now the forest spirits are pissed and decided to create overgrowth and hazardous plants on the nearby pathways through the forest. Defeat their leader or leave it for someone else to solve.

I believe these are good examples of what I am suggesting. What do yall think?

Here is my issue if it spawns an event that is not a solo event, or an solo explore for extra rewards event, then that needs to be marked in the map to help clear it

wy should it be marked on the map?
or should it only be marked on the maps of those that did pass thru the loactions much like the map beeing at start clouded in darkness, once you enter a area it will be revealed on your map but like satelite images only once you reenter the zone your map getting actualized to it. so those that find it can deside to keep or spread the info.

This is how it is marked on the map:

i believe that is placeholder or subject to change. They have discussed events being environmental signs (audio, visual, etc) rather than UI alarms.

well it will be temporary events in seasons not something grind all trees and dungeon is forever there, more grind all trees and dungeon is there for as long as the actual season last or only allows a set number of groupes entering bevor the entrance vanish or 1 ingame year after that several ingame years the dungeon doesnt reopen due to be on CD.

so tecnicly wikis may show the dungeon on there page with a screenshot of the map but ingame the map may have actualized and nolonger shows a dungeon entrance. and you may not know when it could open the next time. especaly if the cd is a rng between some ingame years. also can nodes keeping seasons for longer if they wish to do so. so even if a wiki does track all servers it will need a army of peoples that check the locations every single day to confirm that if the dungeon is still on cd.

Good idea. Most environmental objects should be gatherable but have 1. Others claiming it, 2. Elementals hating you, 3. People raiding you as you try and travel with it, 4. Nature stuff/ Elemental stuff trying to regrow or reemerge with stuff.
Couple of Rock Elementals WWE tag teaming you into dust would be a lot more fun than an easily accessible, docile or weak world. Make it hostile, regenerative, and funny difficult.

dungeons that open because the nature or the creatures are angry. maybe with the effect that more and higher level mobs will spawn in the area and to set it back compleating the dungeon and defeating the cause of the mob rageing a few times to restart the regroth and returning to normal.

I'm not against it, its a great new idea. But I Can see it becoming Tedious fast putting gatherers off. but at the same time It'd help with the bot problem (What bot problem? clearly never played an mmo in your life if you think this game wont have one, they flourish in subscription MMOS in the millions!) if it was a fighting event or similar.
Here is my issue if it spawns an event that is not a solo event, or an solo explore for extra rewards event, then that needs to be marked in the map to help clear it, which means Ganking because we know what you have been doing, rather than help clearing & getting "rewarded" in a similar manner.

One reason why you want this to not be easy to clear as a solo player is botting. This should help reduce the amount of bots running around gathering everything if a winged tyrannosaurus pops out and chases them down. most bots wouldnt have the responsiveness to deal with such situations, while a player would. Or at least I would hope they would.

Good point and I hope more people are open to botting solutions.

As a PvE primary person, this sounds fun to me! I'd love nothing more than to accidentally trigger something while out trying to get stuff for making potions. I hope that these event do spawn off of non PvE stuff like gathering.
