Getting hit by others' enemy AoE while DoL gathering

[Viridiana]

Because of the perception of danger in the game. You are given that ability to avoid being detected. Not to be immune to aoe attacks as you have found out, that would be too silly.

Or, y'know, they could do away with this silly "Oh, no! You've been attacked by something! Clearly there's no possible way you want to keep gathering!" thing they have going on and just let us decide what we want to do ourselves. . .
