It says that there are already a max number of people doing that project. No matter the project, no matter the name...Maybe it's not a bug but this definately has not been this big a problem as it is now.

LOL yourself, now. It is a problem, or can be a problem, even if it is not a bug.

Trading is not always possible.

Also, trading does not always make economical sense: exports have to be light enough and valuable enough that the goods exchanged aren't consumed on the way back home. AND, there has to be a market for whatever you are bringing. Stone is a poor export, for example, and it is the only one in some places. Potatoes is another poor export. And not everyone is interested in trading. And think of all the happy faces when you bring a load of bauxite to town! Diamonds seem like a valuable item, but have you ever tried to trade them?

I am adjusting to this LOL-not-a-bug, but I still hate it.

In particular, I am tired of making a long trip, only to find that I cannot get the resource I came for.

Okay, I just attempted a gathering project that NOONE else was doing and it said too many people are doing it. This is getting ridiculous. Every single resource I try to gather can't be gathered.

That's because the area where you are has too many people working to get it's local resources. Each place has a number assigned to it which refers to how many people are allowed to work on it's local resourses at once.

This is not a bug.

All locations have a limited amount of space for people to gather resources. Once the max limit has been reached no one else will be able to gather resources until someone else stops.

If you want to discuss whether or not this should be in the game then take it over to the General Discussion Forums.
