Guild Wars 2

It appears to harvest faster than normal sickle.

I want to know that this is how it will be, forever, and that it will not get nerfed before I buy it for my other tunes.

That should answer your question. Eyes playing tricks on you.

I think it does too. About 25-50% faster.

I would really like a confirmation that this is intended and not going to change before I purchase more based on the speed.

It is faster, therefore it appears faster. Your mind is playing tricks on you.

Likely to be nerfed. It’s supposed to be a convenience item to not have stacks of gathering tools, not to harvest faster than what’s already out there. Just my opinion.

… and why does the speed matter?

It does SEEM faster, although I haven’t actually timed it myself.

I’m not complaining. I want Anet to confirm this intended before I buy more.

My buddy has one and he can run through an area harvesting while mobs miss hitting him if I attempt the same thing my character stops take a knee gets hit numerous times and might actually finish harvesting. The speed on the sickle is not an eye trick. If this is working has intended I might actually buy one.

Yup, Anet please confirm before people buy it with the wrong idea.

Still waiting for confirmation Anet.
