This brings me back to a bug report I made last week. Even gathering is not safe. When I gather I get repeated bonus first time craft exp every single hardened node. In exchange I do not / have not received bonus exp for any other node type. This has been consistently happening since last week.

I’m fairly certain it’s not intended but it would feel incredibly unfair to expect me to stop gathering on a suspicion of a bug. How many other people have what I’m experiencing? If this was occurring on a large scale but people kept quiet would they deserve to get banned？ are they exploiters now? My argument is and has always been there is almost no way for most people to have determined without outside help that this was an exploit. But even if they knew it was bugged in this case where if blizz knew and did not fix or freeze it is not right to punish people for gaming.
