If you're already using your ward, I don't think level 50 will make an appreciable difference. If you're not using wards, it's easy to set it up in the SkillManager. You might be able to pop wards more often with higher GP, but I think that would be a ~negligible increase. I'll try to get back with some data on the shards/hr comparison between paranoid/teleport gathering and "normal" gathering.

I'm mainly gathering in East Shroud right now, and it's rather crowded, so this probably won't be a good comparison given the congestion of the zone.
