Squid,

OK yea I didn't realize you were going back that far. Yes you USED to, but for the months since that was changed with mulitple harvestors, it has not been problem. So then after all these months they throw in this system message. Lame.
As for the decay timing, yes Im aware of that. I run a tight ship on my hunt groups, and those that don't follow commands or the rules get kicked out. Needless to say I think that has only happened once. Sometimes the new guys need to be reminded of our rules once or twice, but then they get the hang of it. And love it. We don't generally have the problem of someone harvesting when combat is going on, and people still missing harvests. RoB is generally very successful in getting a lot of harvested resources and keeping everyone safe, and keeping people organized and happy.

/group notify off
All of the group notify, autosplit, autoloot, etc. options have been disabled for at least 2 or 3 publishes while they were being reworked.
And of anything with the group notification what bothers me is that it tells everyone what I looted *EXCEPT FOR ME*. I can tell when my group members loot a krayt pearl from 1km away but I have to rummage around in my pack to find out what I picked up for myself.

oh yeah. you mean before when one scout was allowed to harvest at all?
Please. Do not remind me of those dark times. When everyone was trying to outninja everyone else and you had to set up a harvesting rotation, inside the group, so that everyone got their cut of scout XP.
The notification is GREAT. I've wanted it for a long time, and I'm pleased it's the default. I want everyone in the group to know who looted what, who harvested what. This was available as an option that had to be turned on in beta, then got broken and taken away, and now it's back and default and I am glad.
), and it's on there.Alright, thanks bud.
