Getting hit by others' enemy AoE while DoL gathering

[AmalahRose]

This happened today for me while gathering Redolent Logs. A lvl 9(?) Anole, that was pulled by another player hit me with a cone attack. Yes, even a lvl 9 enemy can interrupt your gathering.

I'm pretty sure they changed it recently so that you cannot get hit by other player's enemy aoe if you are in stealth mode. So even if you're in a low level area if you are tapping an important node hit stealth to be safe.

I got hit by AoE's from a FATE gathering clusters while stealthed in Mor Dhona about 2 weeks after that supposed fix, but it was just the once and it's not had a chance to fail again in my presence since I'm quite careful about it. Don't know if that was just a fluke bug or if there really is still something wrong with their system.

There's actually a weird thing with FATE mobs doing AoE's; they can hit you whether you're synced or not. The egg from the Hatchingtide FATE was awful because of that huge AoE. I got slowed by it so many times trying to run past it. xD

They fixed that for fisher, as soon as you throw your rod in the water you can't be hit by anything if you didn't aggro it yourself

Did they not add that to MIN and BOT? >.> you see me confused because i thought they did ^^"

Sucks to hear that the issue isn't fully fixed, but I had a feeling that it wouldn't be due to various other quirks with the battle system (for instance, such as how you can pop Hallowed Ground, still end up dying, and still lose your cooldown)

I cannot believe what I'm reading here. Why is it so important to oppose change to an issue that cannot be avoided.

Because it's the official forums, duh. The status quo will ALWAYS get defended.

They say one of the most dangerous statements is "we've always done it this way" but here, it's like a mantra.

Please put an end to this. This exists for literally no reason other than to allow players an easy way to grief one another, whether intentionally or not, and it's not like gatherers have a free choice of where to gather like crafters do with their crafting.

Tbh, an argument could potentially be made for not allowing AoEs to hit any players who do not have any sort of aggro on the enemy using the AoE, but at the very least this should be applied to DoLs in gathering mode, who have no ability to move and can even lose out on unspoiled nodes or mooched fish this way.

Maybe they just accidentally made a mistake? It might not be griefing.
