Foraging in the PR is discoraged for the most part, understand that PR forages is just to be used on a limited basis, not a daily occurance.

If you want daily mats, forage above ground.
You have common mats to uncommon mats above ground, then you have rare to impossible to find mats below ground.

PR is the only zone in the game with the 'Ultimate Mat' that is basically what we used in beta that can craft any item with any slot.

Its a one size fits all mat.

*shrugs* its hard enough sometimes keeping up with mat locations after each patch since they move around in the changing world were in.

Just wanted to point out that the stanza not strong enough error message is now a bug. It's supposed to be temporarily removed. And it is definitely a bug now -- I was merrily stripping one of my spots in PR a couple days ago when on one node in the same batch I'd JUST harvested from gave me the message. After the fact, I was once again able to harvest off that same spot fine...

And again this doesn't change the fact that it's bugged and cannot get mats at all let alone mentioning on a daily basis with empty nodes. So I ask what does any of this have to do with the bugs?

When ya sudenly get the message like that it means the sorce has turned supreme, not all sup sorces require ya to use higher extract but some do

Right but they are not supposed to not allow you to extract. There is not suppsoed to be any kind of level restriction for any quality of mats. The GM confirmed this was a bug when I spoke to them myself.

People need to start to understand that a bug to them might not actually be a bug, just because it is an inconvienence to the individual, does not justify it as a bug.

Even though it was 'mentioned' that a GM said it was a bug, not a single GM has posted in this thread acknowledging it as a bug.

And what I posted has everything to do with the current system, we were told about how the PR was going to be working, including the 0 node sources, as in sources depleted.

Personally I am glad they are 0 node sources, this shows that although the node spot exists, someone has leached it to death, and people have to be patient for it to replenish itself, that is what was stated as to how it works.

If a GM actually posts in this thread, or anywhere else for that matter, that the 0 node sources are actually bugs and getting worked on, then fine, its a bug.

As far as I understand how PR is to be working, the resource spots are rarer, there are high agro mobs, its all PvP area's, including the fact you can deplete a source till its empty and it will stay that way for a long time.

Inconvienence does not equal bug.

People are spoiled on being able to just go in to PR and harvest what they want, when they want, and leave as they want.

I personally don't even think it was the devs who wanted people in the PR this early from release of the game, considering the PR is supposed to be ultimate area.

Get used to the 0 nodes, and find some with something in it, if the entire PR zone goes empty of nodes and it stays empty and never replenishes, then MAYBE that is a bug, did anyone ever think, if you READ the news section, where it states for the harvestors to stock up, that POSSIBLY all resources in PR and some of the higher resource area's are going to DRY UP?

Its called a dynamic game, dynamic storyline, and people need to keep up with it.

If by dynamic game, you mean suddenly emptying the game of meaningful high-level content, then another "dynamic" will kick in. You will see high-level players dynamically heading to other MMO's.

Just because it is not posted in the forums that it is a bug doesn't mean it's not. I completely disagree with your logic and fail to understand how you could even think what you do. I would take a GM's word over lack of a post anyday.

I also think you have not been reading these posts very thoroughly at all. It would be one thing if a node was empty from time to time, but as I have stated I have been there many, many times and gotten nothing. Sounds to me like you might be more worried about a little bit of good competition with good mats or something rather than about whether what a GM said was true or not. Everything you have stated is pretty much an opinion, not fact. I have based everything I have said regarding the bugged, yes I said bugged nodes in PR off of facts and things stated by the GM's themselves. And personally imo your get used to it attitude stinks. We should not have to get used to things that are not done right.

As sad as that is and as much as I love this game, I think you are right. Some people just don't have a tolerance for screw ups like others. After all, a majority of the attitude I have seen is that people pay for this and if they aren't getting what they want, they will take their money elsewhere and goodness knows there are a ton of games out there.

Amen. And to add to your comments, look at what other MMO's do. As their player base reaches higher levels, they ADD higher-level content. The idea of doing away with high level content as the player base matures is certainly innovative and goes against the grain, I have to say that. Kind of like trying to play the piano with your nose.
