I have tried searching for something related to the issue I have with the gathering remainder bar but haven't found anything so here goes:

I'm pretty sure it isn't just me, but whenever I begin a gather, part of the remainder bar is already missing...

Is there a reason for this?
Is this what was intended for all gathering attempts, even when your gathering pool is at 2,500 (Read the dev post on gathering fatigue)?

It just seems rather odd that the last part of the remainder bar when you begin gathering is never filled, making it seem pointless to have that empty space there to begin with.

My highest gathering class is only r28 Mining so unless there are any abilies you can get which make that bar completely full then there must be something funny going on.

If this is a known problem that is being worked on then I apologise but I haven't seen anything relating to it exactly.

If anyone can give some feedback on to this matter (does this happen to you also? Would you like the bar to be full when you go to gather?) that would be good, thank you.
