XP from mobs

At times while out gathering you may get aggro because hey you either did not stealth or you did not think you would get aggro. That said you end up in battle with a mob, you kill it. But no xp? Gatherers should get some xp from killing naughty mobs. After all my hatchet is just a smaller version of an axe but it is a deadly weapon of a sort. Also who likes getting whipped with a fishing pole?

Give gatherers xp from mob kills especially aggro, it only seems fair.

I tried fighting with my botany axe and really didn't do much damage...but ya we should get xp if we kill with our gatherer...and why doesn't a gatherer have some kind of melee button just to kill something that's in the way? Don't wanna lose my GP to switch...
