[2021] Please Fix the Interacting with Esca Crystals

For several releases now, it seems as though interacting with esca crystals requires players to spread out - a lot! Many people don't realize this, and so it wastes time having to shift around just to be able to select an amp. All too often, I get to the crystal 1st only to have someone run up right next to me at the last moment and now I can't interact with the crystal until I move away. IDK if this is a bug, some "cute" reminder to social distance, or what, but it's really annoying. It did not used to be this way.

BTW, this also seemed to impact grabbing gifts during the recent Frostfall gift farming: When another player was nearby, it was difficult to grab the gift. So I assume it's some fundamental change in the game.
