Unless you are not in a guild.
    I'm fairly sure the bonus effects people in flight form as well.

    As a druid I can also say it may take a few minutes for another player to "load" on your screen. Flying around at 310% speed w/o having to constantly mount up puts you in a rhythm. There have been several times im just bouncing from node to node and I will be 1/2 way through it when another player that was already there appears on my screen.

    They have to be on the ground to gather now, so it doesn't really matter. The bonus of being a druid really only pays out in the fact that you don't have to remount to get to the next node. All that matters is who gets to the node first.

    Exactly, because we can.

    I always take a node on my alt druid if I can.

    If there is a class mechanic that can be abused for an advantage it will be *cough* bubble-hearth *cough*

    I really didn't expect there to be a resolution to this, and certainly not here. I can only hope that WoW-Karma catches up with you guys.

    Yes, lowered bubble to 8 seconds instead of 12.
    But Druids can't gather while flying anymore, they have the be physically on the ground, so technically it was nerfed as well.

It's a little more fair than it used to be.
    I know I zone out while farming. I also do not feel like asking every player I see if they are farming as well. Sometimes I find myself gathering before any friendly or hostiles even show up around me, load that is. Point being, not all ninjas are intentional.

    Then you have assholes. As in life, they will try to screw you in game as well. Farming makes you wish you could attack friendlies. If an enemy steals a node, mount up and kill them at the next node they stop at.

    Druids are not the problem, assholes are and they come in all shapes and sizes.

    This . Is . Awesome.

    Best post I've seen all week!

    No difference is my point. Druids just have it easier to steal and not get in combat.
    I AM a druid miner/ herbalist and i don't steal from others but foofy is right it's simply easier, you would'nt believe the stuff i can still do in flight form: gathering and using quest items, herbalism, if one day i can mine in epic flight form i'm gonna do an inzone dance. Other players used to steal nodes from me all the time when i was in sholazar. it's just faster for me to get to stuff cause flight form is smaller and just clicking on the pbject usually takes you out of flight and starts the mineing and i can herb in flight form as long as i'm low enough to the ground. Honestly i think alot of ppl prob just make their druids gathering classes because it's easier to do than in other classes.But remember not all druids are node stealing poop-de-doops.

    I've gotten many whine whispers about this even though I never intentionally ninja from my own faction (e.g., if I see someone fighting a mob next to a herb I just move on). The reason people think I'm ninjaing is that I have 0.5 sec cast on my herbing, so if I hit a node at the same time as another player I will have picked up the herb and left before they even load on my screen.

    i'll do it to horde every day of the week. if it is alliance then it depends on the person or the guild tag as there is a pretty long list of guilds/characters on my server that i have no problems what-so-ever screwing over.

    Well, at least the 10% mounted speed from guild perk doesn't apply to druids yet.

    As a NE druid, I love being both a miner and herbalist. I don't have to pop out of bird form to get herbs. I can cyclone any mob that is on top of the node, loot the node, then shadowmeld and flightform away. I don't ninja from other alliance though, that is in bad form. Horde I ninja from all the time. I especially loved doing this in Wintergrasp. I would see an enemy going towards some titanium and I would come down, cyclone them, grab the node, and take off. Fun times!

    OMG i always forget about cyclone!i can't wait to do that to a horde miner

    Your horde druid will actually have to run away or kill the mob you cycloned though. Only night elf has shadowmeld to hide and leave combat, and you can go directly into flight form from shadowmeld. Flight form is the only reason I have not dropped a gathering on my druid for a more beneficial profession, and shadowmeld while gathering is the only reason I have not considered the change to Worgen.

    Not only do I steal nodes but if someone is already mining one I typhoon+cyclone him.That makes my day.
