DidSOE recently nerf how the harvest bonus works?
I used to be able to harvest more with my 94 droid than i would manually. As of the the last major publish, i've been harvesting less with a droid. When i harvest meat from, for example, Sharnaffs, i get 65 with a droid, whether i am solo or in a group with either him or other players and 85-100 when i do it manually.
Someone mentioned the bonus is a percentage and that'd i'd need a 100 droid to harvest the yield equal to my skill and 100+ to get a higher yield, however if this is a % it does not work out mathematically. Already contacted support, but as usual i got a half-assed reply wherin they explained how to harvest, which i obviously already know.
Anyone else notice this?

Droids don't see the group harvest bonus. I reported this as a bug in the corr forum.
Grouping with only the droid does not activate the bonus anyhow, you have to group with "real" people, not pets.
The droid percentage did not work out mathematically, as 80 someodd percent droids would get as much as the owner.
So yeah, they be all kinda gacked up.

I'm also talking about a difference when i am alone.
If i harvest manually i get 85-100 units from a Sharnaff. Droid only gets 65 units since 2 months or so.
What i wanted to know is how that 94 bonus on my droid translates into the yield i get per animal.

No one knows the math for droids, evey one that had guessed got proven wrong when the Master Ranger Bonus got changed.
If you are less than a Master Ranger Nothing should have changed... what is your Creature Harvest mod?

I'm afraid not. As said before, we not sure how droid bonus relates to the harvesting yield.
We only know in certain cases it differs from what we're used to be getting (or should be getting).
Your case is even more strange.
have you /bugged it in game? if not, I'd advise you to do so.

As a 'general' rule of thumb, if the droids harvest level is under 100 you can expect to harvest less with the droid than you do manually. then again, for every one person that that is true for, there's going to be somebody that goes "uhm, no, I get more..."
However, you also have to take in creature condition, any modifiers on your harvesting ability (did you try veghash?) and just plain "dunno why but it's a bit weird" factor.
Gacked up, hmm, that's one way of describing it.
