Getting hit by others' enemy AoE while DoL gathering

[Fynlar]

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.

Why not just tie it into the Stealth DoLs get?
"Provides immunity to Area of Effect damage"

only DoLs get it, so it couldn't be abused by DoWs.

Working as intended.

Whether it was intended or not, it needs to change. It literally serves NO good, not even as any form of game "balance"

It only gets players more riled up at each other, and it only gives the GM staff more griefing calls to handle.

Some players are just jerks, but thats life

Not everyone doing this is even a jerk. A lot of the times I've had my gathering interrupted, it was clearly accidental, from some guy just running by and aggroing things. It still shouldn't be happening.

In terms of balance, if you as a DoL get immunity from AoE's I demand:

-Immunity from AoEs as DoW/DoM unless targeted to me. Hey, it's only fair and it brings balance.

So she is right - Working as intended, part of the dangers of deciding to chop trees or pick at rocks in an area with hostile monsters or monsters who may use an AREA OF EFFECT ABILITY. It doesn't need to change.

To be fair, if it's currently causing interruptions to gathering (as in, physically blocking people from crafting because they're taking damage), that's the only real part that needs to be fixed. Then it would be a matter of "how much damage am I willing to soak to get this item" instead of "well, damn, guess I don't get that unspoiled node."

This would be also good for Ninjas

This would be satisfactory, too

There's an MMO that bans players for mob bombing / MPK'ing.
