I've never quite understood the mechanics of herb and mine spawn points, but I think that some spawn points are interconnected.

Definitely. I made the same observation with mining spots. If you have, say, four RTV spots in a relatively small area, only one of the four will respawn a new RTV about every 30-45 minutes.

I also noticed that those spots seem to be "connected" to your character, because the spawns often appear when you get close enough to the nodes. Your character seems to be set on a timer, i.e. "char has found last RTV 45 minutes ago", and when that time is over, a new RTV will spawn in one of the four locations if you get close enough. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to give players a fair number of resources in a world that is shared by hundreds of players.
