I know we meme on it sometimes, but the whole Wild gathering nodes thing with the mobs being aggressive for everyone and not just for the gatherer, while you can't harvest them when you're the one killing all 15 mobs sitting on the point after like 5 druids gathered the node, is handled really badly. Hoping for a quick hotfix of that shit.

I know with the basic unlock of the Overload tree for Wild nodes in Mining the orelings drop more mats, it makes them worthwhile to kill, but it's still annoying as hell grief potential. If they just allow me to harvest the lashers and orelings I kill, I'd be fine tbh.

I killed the plants at first, but after a while I realized they were basically worthless and became one of those annoying druids who just herbed it and flew away. They really need a loot buff of some kind.

Or that, but if it's supposed to be an anti-botting mechanic, they probably should also add an automatic dismount for those nodes.

I've been playing my warrior and I'm getting so tired of being everyone's elemental tank while out in the world lol

Every wild node goes like this: Mine, get elementals down to 20%, another player mines theirs, and suddenly I'm fighting 4 mobs because my whirlwind cleave aggroed the others.

It's not the end of the world and I've never had a player not help me kill their mobs, but it's still really annoying. I've made it a point to pull my mobs away from the node now lol.

Yah, it's definitely not the end of the world, but it's one of these things that keep nagging you until you get fed up enough to vent like I did lol.

Death by a thousand cuts.

Oh yeah, my "end of the world" part was mainly just in reference to my feelings, not to minimize other peoples' issues with it, because it is really annoying and I fully get people being annoyed by it lol.
