I like the fact that people get a bonus when in a group, but the system itself seems rather silly, in my mind. A Ranger wouldn't harvest more meat just because there was a newb scout next to him. I think it drives down prices and the fact is that the collection rate is rediculous. In a few hours the other night, me, Nemo0 and DesktopSaki were able to collect over 600k of a resource in a very short period of time. Really quite silly, I think.
Now a better way I think would be to do something like a general 5% bonus when grouped, to still encourage grouping but add in another strand of code such that the highest harvesting level is considered the "teacher", anything lower than that gets a bonus based on the difference. For exaply let's say a Master Ranger groups with a person with a harvesting mod of +10. Now each person would get a bonus 5% harvesting. But the learner would get an aditional bonus equal to 1/10 the differnce in their harvesting mods. So, since the difference between the two is 140 points of harvesting, the person would get an additional +14% to harvesting. This would encourage newer players to seek out experienced hunters, and would also stem the fact that organics are so cheap now and Master Rangers still get outharvested by people with very little scout skills but lots of weapon skills.
Just a thought.

Kind of makes that 30k of any resource reward pointless.

Hardly considering you can pick the best ever of a particular resource you're wanting.
