I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this. But when I'm out mining or gathering next to other players, they seem to harvest almost 1.5 times faster than me. And I'm spamming the ever-living heck out of my mouse or Numpad 0. If we both arrive at a node at the same time, I'm maybe halfway into my 3rd swing while they're done and running off to the next node.
How are they doing this? Am I getting lagged? Are they using a macro or something? I tried looking on Google and the official forums, but can't seem to find anything.
