I'm sorry if this has been already covered and I missed it, but there's one thing that is not clear for me. Will we be competing for resourses? What I mean is, when an excavation spot gets exhausted, it will be so for all the players, if I understand correctly. But will it be a woodcutting sort of thing, where we compete for resourses, or a fishing kind of thing where the spot just changes?

Material caches are like current trees (not including normal trees), not like pre-rework Mining rocks - i.e. multiple players can obtain as many materials from them as they are able for as long as they stand, and it will refresh after a short period of time. No competition, but a shared resource.

Excavation spots, on the other hand, are entirely player specific - no competition, not shared. Excavation spots will see greater use than material caches for anyone training the skill. Material caches might see greater use by those only looking to sell materials - though that remains to be seen.
