I'm R42 now, both Botanist and Miner, so I been doing R40 field leves now for 7 ranks. When I first started doing these @ R35, I noticed quite a hike in no-harvests and damaged attempts, and I attributed that to my entry rank for this area. It's now very apparant that SE has dummied up these rates, as I continue to experience a large spike in these, vs. when I simply grind these same areas.

My question is, was this really necessary ><
