Guild Wars 2

For about the last week I’ve noticed I can harvest some trees, ore and food more than once.

For example I just harvested the same scallion node three times in a row getting scallions, onions then scallions.

Is this a bug or intended? After reading about all the bannings and account suspensions for “exploits” now I’m afraid this may be considered an ’exploit".

Problem is, I run around everywhere on two different characters and I can’t remember if I just harvested a specific node or not. I also can’t past up a harvesting node. I’ll spend 20 mins going into a cave just to harvest a mushroom. If a node lets me harvest again, I will until it disappears.

Is anyone else having this issue? Has anyone seen any Anet posts on this?

Exploit, bug or intended?

i believe its just part of random chance.

Trees and ores can be harvested at least 3 times. Vegetables can be harvested at least once.
Rich (ore name) vein can be harvested 10 times.
Your server and/or guild maybe have the harvest advantage where you can re-harvest the same node again.
It works as intended.

You are probably seeing WvW benefits.
