one fault with that.....you need to target each corpse to harvest it with the macro.

Unless there is a method to harvest without having to target. there is usefulness in the droid.

Gang,


I'll throw this on the list, and I'll pipe up if they ask for any DE stuff from us.

Delta, I REALLY hope you understand my sense of forboding about this. If handled correctly it's a fine idea, but it can also bite us if we aren't careful!

Hakai's nailed one of the reasons that AFK harvesting doesn't really happen now.

The other is moving your character to the kill, you can't follow a corpse.

The more I think about it, the more I am against this. I'd rather see development time go to bugs and making game features that are actually needed. A harvesting droid is only going to be useful to the lazy and the AFK. This is not making anything new possible, it is just allowing current players to be less involved in the game.


I think it could be easy for the devs to justify allowing every to use one, not just scouts. It is already tough for newbies to get to fight humanoid NPCs just out side of the cities since they are being camped by high level AFK characters for xp and loot, thiscould just create a similar situation with nunas, chubas and such.

Soj,


It's not a bad idea, but it's also one that's got about a 1 in 10000000 chance in getting implemented. If it gets further down the line, I'll get worried about the sticky details. But in general, I like it.

I would like to say, I think asking for a droid that actually does the harvesting is something that is hard to ask for. This concept is essentially a request that removes a major portion of what it is to be a scout.


What I do like about this suggestion is creating a droid that improves our harvesting Modifiers. It's not a lofty request in that their implenting this exact type of utility droid in the near future. We'd just be asking for a similar droid that would help our (and the ranger) profession. THIS CAN NOT BE A DROID THAT DOES THE HARVESTING. I think the key is asking for a droid that would help us simply harvest more when we do the work.
