Is Passenger Gathering a thing?

Gameplay Professions
1

Noticed a Druid taking a gob around earlier and they were hitting both Herbalism and Mining nodes (you could tell the gob on the back was doing it cause their prof gear was changing with the nodes they were hopping along). Passenger wasn’t dismounting in the slightest and they were also overloading nodes without having to shift or dismount either.

Was there something in the recent patch I missed or is this buggy bot behavior?

This is just how multiboxing is done now. Since you can’t have program assist, they tug around their other account that way. It’s not against the rules unless they have program assist.

So there’s an actual legit way to mine/gather as a passenger now or is it just one of those things that’s not really discussed/known due to being a bug of some sort?
