So, just came back with the 10 day trial after month's away. Started leveling an alt who was level 22 when I quit. Got him up to 30 and having fun again except....
 
....my Elite Mineral Deposit doesn't spawn much, not much at all really. Is this a planned change or is it bugged? Also, my Elite Festival hasn't provided any food for the 3 days I've been back. I had about 9-10 plat on my main level 50 and managed to farm up another 2-3 plat for credd. Turned that in for 30 days play time so I'm good until late March. Hope to stick around unless the housing plots have been nerfed, in which case I'll pack up and leave again.

			This might be a stupid question, but did you repair the plots?

Welcome back Skeeter!
 
All gathering nodes have had issues since drop 4. Carbine is aware and is in the process of fixing them, per posts in the bug report forum.
 
As for your festival, if you have repaired it and it still doesn't give you food, put in a ticket about it. I haven't heard anything about them not working.
 
The housing plots have not been nerfed, in fact they have been given some much needed love in the last drop.
 
Hope you stick around for a while. WildStar really is a fun game (IMHO).

			Lovely to see so many "I'm back" posts.  Welcome back to Wildstar!

Welcome back!
 
No one's sure what's going on with housing plots.  They seem to not work when activated, but I've got nodes popping up on my plots.  We're not sure entirely what's happening, but Carbine seems to think it's a bug and they seem to know what's going on.

Yes, I repaired all my plots. I haven't submitted a ticket yet but did reply to a thread in the bug reports forum. From the sounds of things they at least know of the mining plot problems. Not sure if they're aware of the festival not spawning food. I use the neighbor notes addon. I have it set so it auto repairs all my plots. I have that feature turned off in NN now and we'll see if that does anything.
 
Anyway, still having fun on my return to the game.
 
What's up with the nodes spawning outside of the mining pit? I just ran around to neighbors and it seems like a lot of the nodes now spawn outside the square mining pit. Kinda wacky for sure seeing an ore node on top of a rock or something else but at least I got to harvest them. As for my plot, I got one ore node to spawn in about an hour's time.
 
Forgot to mention, I was "this close" to resubbing to WoW when I got the email for the 10 day come back offer from NCsoft. Money is tight for me now and honestly I probably would have given WoW and WoD a try if not for the price. $50 for the xpac plus $15 just to get in a play for a month is too much for me. Perfect timing on the WS 10 day trial.

			have noticed my elite relic excavation is giving hardly any nodes. I think it must be bugged or it got nerfed heavily

			To be fair, with the mat vendor prices nerfed, there are far better ways to make money than mining away your time. Thank God.
