"Might help with other things like /group conceal and you use up all charges/ kits needed to conceal everyone in one command."

- If they implement /group conceal, they could also implement/group enhance health and the like for other professions as well.

- I canimagine a whole pile of options spawning from that idea.

I like the idea Fred, but I think it may very well be too difficult for them. The way it seems to be coded now, only group leaders have the administrative rights to do anything that affects the entire group. They could implement it that way, but then we'd be in pretty much the same situation, as most people have very little grasp of the /group commands. Much like the much often heard "not possible to loot humanoids in groups" bug, which in reality is just buggy default group settings.. If you turn off the autosplit, autosplit:items, and autoloot, it works..

From the post by the devs on harvesting that I read earlier, it seems to me that the Ranger Dev doesn't really know that it's bugged currently. If he/she did know, all they'd need to do was check whether they accidentally applied the percentage reduction as a global value, and if that's not it, just put a check in at aharvest attempt to see if you're flagged as a group member. Of course, I'm almost certainly oversimplifying their dilemma, but who knows...

Perhaps a general post by Holo or Q about /group commands is in order? You know, I DID forget about the fact that autoloot was enabled by default myself and wondered about that...

Perhaps when joining a group it would subscribe you automatically until you shut it off. Then it would kind of look like it does now. To my mind this sounds better then patching in all can harvest kind of deal. Like I said, as for me I can wait for them to take time to do it and if us vet Rangers know and inform peeps how this all works I think it would make for happier Scouts / Rangers all around.

Just a silly thought...

Perhaps we should see if the devs can get a "subscribe to harvest" option in the /group menu command. That way, if any single scout or ranger harvest, those subscribed get the harvest split. We could also factor the effect of skill in where those more skilled get a bigger cut.

Kills ninja harvest and the problem with "I don't need any" and even the CH pet problem. We can go back to the same harvest levels as well.

I know that /group menu was ment for leaders but perhaps we can make it leaders and Ranger / Scout. Might help with other things like /group conceal and you use up all charges/ kits needed to conceal everyone in one command. Kind of borrowing from Squad Leader, but you don't have to be the group leader for these.

Now, this may be rather complicated to do for the programmer, but I am willing to wait.

Thoughts?
