Why can I not skin anything on Siren Isle?

Nothing on the island that would normally be skinnable is skinnable.

Yet on the questline last week i was able to skin robots.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE BLIZZARD!!!

These are storm forged pigs

Your fragile skinning knife could never pierce their hides

Nothing on the Isle has skin.

Obviously.

Probably for the same reason that there is no ore or herb nodes on the island.

The robots were wearing skin? WHOSE SKIN?

Devs were worried players would spend time on the Isle so made sure that wouldn’t happen.

Yes. We should not only make the Isle mandatory for continuing your season in group content but also make it a bot farm as well!

Then we can compete with bots just to get our compulsory engagement finished! Brilliant!

Is the implicit proposal here that new zones never have gathering nodes or skinnable mobs?

The implicit proposal is that they not be compulsory in order to continue doing the things you were doing the day before they launched actually.

Fine point but I never argued in favor of compulsory engagement.

Well don’t argue for bot farms in compulsory content without making them entirely, completely, and in totality optional.

I implied gathering nodes should be available. That’s not arguing for bot farms lol.

A bit dramatic.

It is though.

And as it stands the Isle is a fair playing field for gatherers. None of us get anything.

Why does this seem to be a trend for you?

If you’re deranged enough to call the existence of literally any thing useful as a potential bot farm then sure. I’m not prepared to make that leap, however.

My post was clearly meant to be taken in jest. The bot farm comment was sincerely dramatic.

Sure, sarcasm usually is.

Sarcasm also belies a point.

You played the same game Myz plays but didn’t like it when he did it.

Throwing skinnable mobs and nodes in a 10x10 box of content is basically the definition of a juicy bot farm potential. Idk what you expect me to say bro.

It’s like asking for any of the current bot farms to be made compulsory. Nobody wants that.

“Let’s make the nerubian cave outside of Dornogal required to continue your group content until the next update!” is the equivalent of what you want here.

I literally just skinned a boar. What were you trying to skin?

Ghostmaker was also Skinnable, the rare.

Easily solved by reducing density. The bot farms have far more efficient farming routes.

I haven’t seen anything close to the bee farm for skinning density on this small island where you can’t even fly.

I think its absurd to link the call for gathering nodes to wanting a bot farm. Wild.

Again, I’ve never argued for compulsory engagement -I’ve stated as much explicitly for you.

My post was obviously a joke using absurdity as the mechanism.

Myz isn’t being sarcastic. He’s not joking. He’s entirely sincere.

I’m sorry you struggle to see the difference between the two.
