@VousDeux...
Like you, I tried to pick the out of the way place to start when there were multiple harvesters. However, I never had to wait for my avatar to reach the area I wanted to start. I would start clicking and it would make its' way over. Worked great for me.
I do totally agree that it takes way to long now to wait for it to get where one wants to work and between clicks. Not to mention the stuff that gets in the way..."I'm busy", avatars' head, etc.
And, like you say, practice makes perfect...I have also developed a "method" that enables me to work quickly and efficiently. Those who are not as quick just need to keep working at it. I find a trackball style mouse really helps here.
I also don't agree with limiting number of hires even though I hate it when there are too many...in which case I just say thanks and move on...problem solved. Personally, I never hire more than one unless multiple friends come by.
Instead of having the devs control this issue, I think it's better if we solve it on our own. One way is to utilize the Buddy List and neighbors...harvest and plow just for each other when possible.
