Node spawn rate increased?

I noticed that there is a crap load of herbs and mining nodes everywhere and the spawn rate is faster than normal.
Anybody else notice this or am I mistaken?
I am going to assume that Blizzard took steps to combat the AH...

It only makes sense for them to be increased, at least for the time being. I don't think it would fly to well with the populace if nodes were on 10-15 minute timers at the moment.

Absolutely.
While my two mains are getting back to rested XP, I'm leveling a DK, and as usual I had to level his mining from 1. It has never been this quick to do, I swear I never even had to complete a full circle of a zone before I was done with that type of mineral.

Spawn rates for herbs/enemies is proportional to the number of people farming/killing that particular item/mob et cetera.

Eh, well, the entire system needs to be overhauled anyway. Higher spawn rates don't make gathering any less of the most mindless/tedious game system ever designed.

Farming metal in un'goro before the expansion was a delight. Wish all nodes were like that. How is it with cata?

The tradeskill nodes were too dense in Deepholm and Twilight Highlands for Mining and Herbalism. Several have been removed.Mining nodes were too dense in the entrance cave to Uldaman and have been thinned out

I can't speak for herbs, but it's faster for mining. I leveled 1-60 pre-cata post shatter, and I blew through mining so quick I had ore to spare when leveling JC. Iron in Feralas, Thorium in Un'goro, there's more of it, and it respawns faster, often in the same exact spot over and over.
It's really, really nice for those who like to do their own tradeskills. With the vast wealth of some players, the ability to literally buy the world's supply of copper and whatnot was getting tiring.
I can't speak for any nodes post 60, though, and this is all anecdotal, of course.

I hate reading an entire thread before posting so I do it after. Then realize I need not have added my two cents!
