Did they change how a gathering node exhausts?

[Aleczan]

Before the patch, I remember several instances where my skill tells me "You sense a nearly exhaust........." node. When I get there, the node would last until all my attempts run out. And if I am there with another gatherer, using the same node, the node wouldn't exhaust unless one of us used up the last allowed attempt.

Now, I notice the node would exhaust regardless of how many attempts I have left.

Asking this because there was an awkward moment just now, where I - on my way to Quarry - ran into an occupied node and decided to hop off my chocobo and try to get some ores. The other gatherer was digging quite slow, so I paced down my dig as well. We kind of took turns digging one by one. But on my 3rd dig, the node exhausted. I felt so bad I just made the person have to run around looking for the next node again. I felt like a bad party pooper. T.T I said Sorry and s/he said NP : )

Still... it's awkward and makes me extremely miss the old system of node exhaustion.

Do you think the exhausting of a node really did change? Or I was just having weird good luck back when I kept being able to gather until my last attempt? And now it's just normal and it has been like this all along?

If it did change, I like the old system much much more. T.T
