It's probably compensation for the fact that everybody can harvest the same corpse (if you don't leave it for too long). It gets a bit annoying in a fight when one person harvests everything before another is even done fighting, though...

Having a system like this in place forces you to hunt solo in a mutliplayer game.
This game never fails to amaze me as to the depths of the stupid ideas the dev have. At least if master rangers had harvest all function hunting alone would be highly benifical.

Yep. It used to be only 1 person could harvest (even though the original promise was that each person could harvest a different item type). So things are actually better than they used to be, but the penalty does make me less likely to want to hunt with other people. However, it could be worse. Just grouping with a pet/bot used to impose the harvest penalty (as well as a loot payout penalty). I always wondered what my Grand Wrix did with his share of the hides...

I usually hunt alone( i know it is a multiplayer game). But today i was feeling bored of being alone so asked a friend to come along for company. They was a very good spawn of yavin scaley hide so wanted to kill kilkniks/crsytal snakes etc. When i hunt alone normally get 85-95 per creature but when i was grouped with my friend i only got 55-65. This is totally silly i get punsihed for playing this game while i am grouped but get rewarded for being solo. Is this new or have i been hunting alone so long i never noticed it. My friend doesn't have any scout ability so he can't harvest so as a group we lose out on harvesting, congratz SOE another great thing to kill group hunting /thank

there actually is a harvesting penalty when you're grouped. 
i think it's been around since the beginning, but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.

If that is true that totally sucks. Hunting alone is nice and peaceful
but can be lonely, guild chat is good but no match for a having a friend fighting along with u. Thanks for the quick feedback.

Prior to CU I could take a newb toon and go out with some guildmates and earn myself some Scout xp by attempting to kill fambas or what ever we where fighting. So I called upon one of my Guildmates for a hand. Being a crafter and wanting to pick up BE i needed to get some Scout XP. Easy enough right? Well thats what I thought.
The two of us group I have a Combat lvl of 1 (woot) He has a combat lvl of 80. We go off on our missions for Fambas and Bolle Bols. We kill the first creature yay!!! Sweet here comes the scout xp i need. Wait i dont get any. My first thought is it just did not show in my combat tab. I get the xp meter up. Nope no xp there. So i hit Ctrl-S none in there. Thats odd is what we both said we finished of the lair and i got 0 scout xp. He got around 300 or xp per creature. So he makes me the master looter for the next mission again 0 xp but he gets xp. I disband the group and kill aMighty Gnort. Was a long and ferious battle between the Gnort and I (your children may one day read about it classroom) After about a minute it finnaly dies guess what for some reason I was able to get the xp.
My question is did they change how you get scout xp? If so how. The only thing that i could tell that would cause this to happen is that the person who does the most damage is eligable for scout xp. Can anyone enlighten me on this fact. If this is a bug maybe the Corr. could possibly push it thru to the devs that this needs to be fixed. With all the crafters leaving the game i am in need of a BE so I may supply my guildies and my self with stims.

This sounds like a bug - I had this happen to me while testing on TC with Owen. When grouped he would get xp but I would not. When ungrouped I could get xp - but only after a hard fight. Since then, playing on live I haven't seen anything similar. All my group memebers seem to get xp. Did the problem persist after you had re-logged?

Everyone in the group that has scout skills can harvest a kill.. but you must be IN the group and IN RANGE of the kill. Post-CU you can get a ton of exp from harvesting a high level creature.. when I harvest a level 70+ creature I often get more than 3k scout exp in one shot. (and around 300+ resources)
Also, make sure you are checking your combat spam window for Exp messages.. Since they removed them from the system/spacial spam alot of people are thinking they get no exp when they really are.

Just remember that post-CU the amount of xp you get is dependent on your Combat Level. So a level 70+ person may get 4000 xp - but a level 1 person may only get 200 xp for the same kill.
