O11N Tether Difficulties

[dragonseth07]

Hello. For the life of me, I cannot grab the tether in O11N (the ones in O9N aren't exactly easy, either), and I'd like some help.

Running through the person doesn't work. They just keep it, and I look like an idiot. So, on a suggestion, I ran and stood on them for a good 3-4 seconds. That didn't work, either. Again, they kept it.

Nobody else seems to have this issue that I can see. I'm watching footage, and the transfer is just seamless. But, for me, I just can't pick it up.

Is it my connection? Is it lag? What am I missing here?
