Double gathering bug

I am in the location mysterious swamp. I was gathering a black pearl node and when it said succeed at the same second I got hit by a monster and after killing the monster I could gather the node again giving me 2 times the loot in the looting screen. This was no meticulous collection.

This seems exploitable in other ways. For example, someone in a pvp area could keep hitting you on the timed occasion causing you to keep farming a node.

Of course, I have no idea the same thing can happen on other nodes.

 

Yes, but the precision of needing to be hit makes this very tricky as one of 3 things can happen depending on the precise time you are hit based on my experience.
1. You get 2 draws at an original harvest.
2. You are unable to loot the node at all for duration of that zone. I.e. have to leave and come back after x minutes to harvest the node.
3. Meticulous kicks in when you start harvesting the node again instead of an "original" pull.

I have had all 3 happen when harvesting and getting hit. So tie does not always go to the runner.
