(Fishing Animations are OK)
Is this common for any one else?

I only notice this for the Leve nodes. At the non-Leve nodes I see others' animations.

I thought this was intentional to speed up gathering on leves, but I guess I'm wrong?

I have updated my post. I hope this provides better information on the matter.

Its not a bug. You don't see the animation because there isn't a node there...only the leve owner can see it. If you happen to be in party sharing his leve you will see the animation.

I was on a leve that wanted me to mine the same node that player was also mining. It is a fair assumption we were both on the same leve.

I would like to add that I started noticing the lack of animations, while gathering with both mining and botany, back with the patch that changed the gathering animation speed. This is only one instance of not being able to see other player character gathering animations that I am reporting.
