Mining in Northrend

[Connery4X]

I've seen this mentioned on and off for the last year on these forums, but have noticed that still the Saronite mining in Northrend is simply atrocious on the Icecrown server. I played retail for a couple years and just never had the issue of circuiting for hours and struggling to even obtain one stack of Saronite, regardless of server size. I first thought it was bots but after playing at server underpopulation times and simple /who checks it quickly proved to not be the case. Am I missing something or is it just plain broken?

It was set for a lower population but the current population and these no life farmers use all kinds of tricks like figuring out the respawn time and the best route to farm so that nobody else gets the ores.

Bot farm that ores 24/7 it's not about morning or evening.

you need to know a few spawn locations and give it some time. i've farmed multiple saronite ore stacks in less than 1h flying around sholazar and icecrown.
