Harvesting in Combat

[Evadne]

Not sure what the purpose of this change is, but it doesn't make sense.  The abilty to harvest a node gets stopped mid harvest when a group mate half a zone away decides to take a swing at a solo mob.  This makes the grouping from other zones and running to meet up with each other and chat along the way unconducive. It harms the social dynamic.  Please, allow harvesting "in combat." ~Eva <div></div>

Things that come to mind...Pet classes were always able to harvest while soloing. (Let the pet do the heavy lifting while you harvest.) Maybe that was considered to be unfair.Or possibly, it's yet another attempt to tackle harvest bots?

<DIV>I dislike this also, for the same reasons as stated above...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However  it was a good way to raise focus,   start a fight with some greens / greys.. start harvesting... watch your focus raise.</DIV>
