With the current update, players need to visit 20 guardian sites to get enough materials to get the new weapons, so many are instance switching and doing all the hard work in just a couple of days.
Here's one idea to fix this.
Simply give all the materials a unique ID key. So for example, if you go to guardian site 5 and collect material component 3, from location 6a, the ID key would be 005003006A.
That way, if the material from that location is already in your inventory, it adds it to the spawn ignore list.
If you sell the component, or use it in some way, then the item ID will be removed from the ignore list and you can go out and get it again.
If players learn where all the sites are, it should be possible to visit them all within a couple of sessions, and not need mode switching.
If there was a matrix of Guardian sites, say 20, with each one leading to a new location on the map, players would be happy to abandon the ones they already pillaged.
