Gathering: macro help please...

[BlaineCraner]

I could really use a better way to mine ore. Seriously, who came with the "fun" idea of making gathering work like this:

Select node
Choose item
*click*
wait 3 seconds
Choose item
*click*
wait 3 seconds
Choose item
*click*
wait 3 seconds
Choose item
*click*
wait 3 seconds
go find another node, then another, and then go back to the first one.


WHO thought this was a good idea?!

I would SO love to make this automatic or less mindwreckingly monotonous. Why can’t I just leave the character to dig the materials? The game could still need the presence of the player (like you would have to confirm your presence with a key stroke every 30 minutes). Oh, Now I remember why. BOTS. If the game was console only we wouldn’t have this problem. >/

I have to turn on a string of youtube vids just to have something entertaining to watch while playing the game (I mean only the mining part). The irony is stunning.
