So the gathering bots appear to have figured out how to greatly speed up the rate at which you swing at gathering nodes. I just witnessed three separate characters teleport to a timed weather node, swing at the node in rapid succession far faster than could ever be normally possible and then teleport out (or more likely left the instance to re-queue. See below.) The rate at which they were swinging was more than twice the rate that automatic gathering would provide if it were available on those nodes and the swing animation didn't even quite have a chance to fully complete. Even my manual spam clicking of the item was only half the speed they were managing.
I also witnessed the same three bots collecting multiple times from that same weather node. This might technically be legitimate since it probably just involved leaving the instance and queuing again, but the fact that they were teleporting to the node sped up the process by a lot since they weren't limited by the flight time to get back to the node.
