If you swoop in and pick an elemental node and leave the mobs for me to fight, then I should get your motes and extra materials. Please fix this nonsense Blizzard.

Clicking a node and peacing out on something like a Rogue is peak class fantasy

Switch the mobs to something that can fly, and will keep following the “tapper” until they leave the zone.

That’s a great idea.

I just skip them now. It’s so stupid and needs to be fixed.
Some guy really rolled up while I was killing a mob. Mined. left. I just looked at the two spawns and just left as they aggroed.
Why do they even aggro me? I didn’t spawn them and I can’t even loot/mine them!

i don’t understand why this is a special problem. if you see mobs near a node and don’t feel like fighting, just move on to the next node. why is it different in this case?

I think you misread.
When I see mobs on a node, I skip it. It’s annoying, but it’s whatever.
My particular incident was that I was killing a mob that was next to a node. As in, just some random monster. As I was fighting someone came, tapped the node, and spawned in the two rock guys, and flew away.
That is what bummed me out.

Honestly this is the answer.
They’re talking about nodes that spawn mobs when mined by another player. People swoop in, mine, and then bail when mobs spawn. Players who were already on the ground have to kill the other players mobs before they can mount up and leave.

This isn’t some “minor inconvenience” this is lazy people trolling other players (intentionally or not). Why should they get to run off with their loot while I’m stuck fighting the mobs they spawned? On top of that I don’t even get the materials? Honestly dude you sound like one of those types of players.

I have Leatherworking and Jewelcrafting, I haven’t gathered since EA.
When I did gather this expansion, I found no problem dealing with Wild nodes.
Another thing that happens…
You’re fighting the mobs you spawned (that you meant to).
Someone else runs up, taps, and runs off, leaving you to clear THEIR mobs for them, but not be able to loot those mobs.

Typical narcissistic argument right there. “It doesn’t affect me, so it’s not a problem.” You sound like a real joy to be around. Don’t worry about it then, I’ll continue to fight your battles for you.

You’re the one trying to gather on a rat alt, this sounds entirely like a problem you brought upon yourself.
So of course it doesn’t happen to me.
Aren’t the wild charged nodes like, garbage yield without actually mining/herbing the actual spawns?
Anyway, it does feel bad getting stuck handling someone else’s dirty laundry.

maybe is a server thing? On my sever it seems people actually stay and help you fight the mobs.

If I tag someone’s elementals, I should be able to skin them. Otherwise, they should despawn the second they leash from their original creator.
Period.

I have not been left to clean up anyone garbage either.
