I honestly am not fully against this idea and i think with augmentations i would be able to live with this, but for the moment i would not like to have this implemented.
The fact that resources deplete definitely would make the game more interesting but having upwards of 3000 people scrambling around for the closest resources to a storage would crowd it to the point of uncontrollable madness. (i smell a bad word that starts with an "R" in all this)
This game hasn't allowed multiplaying for as long as i can remember and the thought of it makes me cringe. This system would simply encourage an act that is the opposite of what all MMORPG games are about and also under the circumstances that all they would have to do to succeed in game is to bend the rules a bit and get lazy with a bunch of alts.
Additionally this seems to be better directed to family play than individuals.. but not everybody has family that would play and it could be seen as an indifferent addition to the game from their view if you look at it in depth but the fact is that it would still force true players with one main and no alts to compete in the game with alts.. and that would just suck for them.
One final comment is that level restrictions would be abused by low level alts that could just be recycled and come back to the same harvestable.
In any way i think most would be able to cope with this addition eventually but its just not the kind of thing to do to a game that takes a long time to harvest a decent amount of materials as it is, and has always been good at keeping alt characters and main characters apart.
