Game Mechanics Some profession stuff

Ive leveled my gathering profs to the level 40s, and Im already very tired of this. Now we all know the system isnt great and is due for a redo, but there are some smaller things that are causing frustration that could be changed sooner.

1. You cant move while gathering. Why? It could instead be a ~7 block radius sphere around the node youre gathering, that you can freely move around in while gathering, and when you leave that sphere, you stop gathering that node. No moving makes this 10x more painful

1.1. Maybe mobs would be able to attack you while gathering to compensate? But without their attacks canceling the gathering process of course

2. Carrying multiple tools decreases the success rate. You can just throw out the duplicate tools and pick them up every once in a while to circumvent this. You baught these tools, and youre being punished for wanting to use them.

You can, you just have to time it right. It can be irritating when you accidentally move at the wrong time and have to re-do the node.

 

You can move a little bit but if you move too much it cancels the gathering in my experience. And if theres some timing to it like Elytry said then it should still be changed because its unintuitive

 

Why is there twice a generally no in the poll?

 

There are two seperate questions in the poll both with individual answer choices :)

 

proffing :doom:

I have no idea why number 2 is a thing

 

I'd guess its to make it harder to just use a program to gather for hours while afk
