Taking resources from a guild harvester spams too many harvest message popups.1 summary message per resource type should be sufficient.

The normal spam is 1 line per harvestable. Once in awhile you will get spam for what would amount to each pull from nodes. What I do when this happens is log onto an alt for a bit and then go back.If it is happening to you every time, you are just EXTREMELY unlucky.

Just /camp to yourself. Same way you get rid of the AA spam when you load a spec off a mirror =D

/agreeI made the mistake of unloading the stuff from the harvesters to put into the guild depot and fifteen minutes later I was still getting the spam on my screen. Ugh.

Another fix is to temporaraly disable harvest message popups in the option.This should not be necessary.

That's not a bug, just change the font size and colour back to normal and your posts won't be quite so garish.

However, it's clearly not desireable either. I'd like to be able to toggle off the message specifically for the guild harvester as a guild setting. Barring that, then at least a toggle in my own options to shut off JUST the guild harvester message. NOT, my own harvest messages.

Haven't found a way to toggle that off yet.

I have had the same problem for about a month now and it is getting somewhat tiresome, cause it can take over an hour before they are finished, add onto that the events that I have done, like killed something, being delayed and showing up an hour after I killed it. Not being funny but it is a problem at SOE end, its something that occurs most often when the server appears to be quite busy. Also I do not see why I should log out and spend time playing another alt, when I've logged on to specifically play that one. Maybe it is just bad luck but I don't beleive for one mimute its anything that I am doing, oh and for the record I'm on Splitpaw, not sure what server OP is on.

Where do I sign this petition. The normal state is that is spams you for every node pull. Every once in a while you get lucky and it gives you one message per harvestable type. For the people saying its the other way around, you are just getting lucky. I actually suspect it has something to do with the length of time they have been waiting on you. But since I'm never positive when other people clear them out, its hard to say.

I've modified the hunter hirelings so they will no longer send the on-screen event messages when you receive the items. You will still get the chat spam, just not the on-screen spam.

You get a large vBox of the very best cookies <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Sadly this was not working when I collected from the harversters at around 3:30 to 4pm UK time. Its not just the hunter though, it is all of them.

When we talk about fixing something internally, this doesn't mean that it makes it to live servers the next day. All changes go through QA and then get batched up for the next big publish. Changes like this normally don't get hotfixed.

Thank you for working on the fix, though! Most of the time I'm lucky and just get the update for each item type, but usually about once a day I get the "each pull" situation. While it's not a huge deal, it can be troublesome when you are also questing. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Looking forward to the Live & In Person fix, but it's nice to know it is around the bend.

When i had this problem I did a bug report and the next time I logged in it was fixed. It doesn't happen on all toons just certain ones. Not sure if this helps.

From recollection (of hundreds of "pick-ups"), I only get this message when the character sending the NPC out wouldn't have the skill to harvest the goodies themself.I'm not saying it's "for sure", but when one of my raiding toons (all of whom have capped harvesting) sends out the NPC, I never remember seeing the harvest-by-harvest spam. But I've seen it when I had a crafter [only] alt send them out, and a raider pick them up. I don't recall seeing it when I had a raider send them out, and a crafter [only] pick them up.It's nice to get rid of the announcement of every harvest -- but it'd also be keen to aggregate the harvests. ;)

There was another thread similiar to this but can't relocate it ... so posting here. I still get the on screen spam.In Guild or Trustee of Guild Hall, I am still getting all the single harvest information.... but occurs randomly. I can log in on a monday and get it all batched... then take the harvester 2 hours to 2 days later and boom suddenly its all single harvest spam again.

I'm bumping this topic up again because the problem still hasn't been fixed and I'm hoping the devs will notice that the problem still exists. I get the "per node" spam with each of the harvesters. It's extremely annoying and when I collect from all of the harvesters, I'm stuck with spam that seems to go on forever until each "node" has been pulled. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

The weird thing about this is that about half the time I get a list where it tells me I have 30 roots, 5 materials, 10 berries, etc., and the other half of the time I get each individual harvest (3 roots, 3 roots, 5 roots, 10 roots, etc.) Not sure why it isn't consistent.

Oh well, at least it means there's at least one thing to look forward to in GU57.

GUs are on a 3-month cycle which means a long wait unfortunately. I wish they'd do a sort of mid-GU code & art push for small fixes, then it'd only be a 1.5 month wait between code & art fixes instead of 3 months.On the plus side, the wait is just about over, the GU is currently scheduled to go live tomorrow.

I for one will be over joyed to finally see this fix take place, just too bad it's taken so long to take effect, this issue has been around since the harvesters have been in game, seems "more important" things like marketplace, lon, and eq2x have been the focus, leaving much needed fixes left to the back burner. But HOORAY for this one fix for gu57, at least something worthwhile and helpful to current paying customers in this live update!!!
