I see the camping part is an issue to an extent, but also suggest anything done must be handled carefully. On the rare chance I group with someone in Wastelands while I dig I am often asked "why you over there" by teammates that can see my location. The non-easy spots are typically holding their Sup's for a long time afte season change and I throw on my ninja harvest gear and go for them.
Not all nodes are created equal surely and some are an outright risk and are not camped... others are sitting on/near a teleport/spawn and quickly gobbled up. I have a huge amount of markers and got them the hard way, I would hate to see all that exploration wasted. However, I do think some randomness might be nice if it's outside the current sources somehow... I do not fear change, only the way Nevrax has carried it out on so many occasions. If the "dynamic" system is merely staged moves then we'd eventually figure out the pattern and be nearly back where we started.
Though we have disagreed in the past, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this DT. A sudden drastic change might well be more harmful in the long run, yet as you point out a staged system would surely be figured out in short order. In any game drastic changes need to be thought out for overall ramifications. Perhaps if they ever open lands above 250 the dynamic sources would be appropriate for those zones.
