Guild Wars 2

A very kind person invited me to guest in his guild for its somewhat more advanced services than my main guild’s managed so far. Today he got 10 crystals out of the synthesizer and /w’d me to remind me to come mine the node.

I goofed up and entered the hall while still repping my regular guild (I didn’t even know you could use the Enter Guild Hall button on a non-repped guild), didn’t realize, and mined the node. I got nothing, not even 3 copper ore. I facepalmed at myself, swapped reps, and the node was still used up.

I feel that if the node is meant to only provide ore/crystals to those actively repping, it should be fully disabled for those who are not, and become active once one is repping that hall’s guild. Obviously it still needs to screen for daily use so you can’t guild hop to mine it.

You can actually get Tenebrous/Shimmering Crystals as a guest. You don’t mine the ore, but if you proc a crystal drop, you still get the crystal. I guess that is why the nodes are used up.
