Nodes not giving skill points!

Now it may just be me but ever since the new patch went in I have been collecting nodes for about half an hour and my level 2 science skill is still at level 2. All the nodes in the desert as far as I can tell are not awarding any skill points when collected.

For clarification, my Science skill is at 10. Every skill point came from fusions, not a single point came from node collections. Node collection is currently not awarding skill increases at all. I haven't tested Magic or Arms nodes, only Science.

Same senario for Arms.
Arms skill is 10 of 400 totally from fusing.
Farmed low-level nodes in Desert and Canada when Char was level 15-25 (approx) and not 1 skill point from nodes.
This started after patch on 08/24/12.
not the same thing. this is a new bug that started with nighthawk... (he seems to REALLY hate Champions) and it is across every zone. I've experimented with many alts in many zones, on many maps. They simply do not grant skill ups any longer.
1. some gave wrong ones eg. mysticism in MI need science skill to use
2. require a level but ignore yours. eg. science- area 51, mysic reporter area in canada, reuire skill 101+ but you can't use even if your skill is higher.

3. No skill up sfrom nodes. Only from fusing.
4. Trainers fail basic economics and tell you that you don't have enough resources to train.
The one I am currently levelling has had skill 200 since L20, I just hit 35 and can't get any on the higher areas(they need 201+) because I can't train. So fusing won't even help with me.

Does this mean their intent is to keep things this way? And if it is then why do all of my missions and current level apropriate areas require that I have a skill of 101+?
It would have been really nice if they simply answered that is was a known bug, which it must be, but instead I get this answer. Has anyone read anywhere that there were any intentional changes to investigation? Even the tutorial videos played by the fusion vendor tell you to gain skill by investigating objects.

Thank you Drannic! Just the fact that you now know about it and will look into it is good enough. Hopefully this issue will be corrected soon!
Pretty sure the cause of the problem is the same reason the bug hasn't been fixed in the last month:
It seems there aren't enough devs allocated to Champions to keep the game running smoothly.

This is not funny to spend items of Lvl II or III and catalysts because a stupid bug.
Now we have another shard manteinance for two hours. Seriously, I hope this bug will be repaired.
I collected nodes in different zones and never received any skill point increases. I am now 27/400 in skill solely from fusions, level 32 character.
I observed that there is a difficult added, depending of player skill level, in reason of the node level and item level found. By any reason, the game it's taking the "difficult reference" on level player, not on crafting skill. I will explain in another point of view:
When I say "difficult reference", I'm talking about the variable porcent of success for raise skill level (not visible for player). The success porcent on fusion depends directly of Skill level, and now, this is working fine. In other words, the variable that decide if your skill raise, showed in yellow text (your skill level now is XX).
By this, if the game take "reference" of player skill craft level, it works good. Now, each time you increase your player level (0-40), you are increasing the "difficult reference" for success on skill craft level.
The trick is just made the more fusions you can when your player is at low level. Players who was too late searching nodes and making fusions have a big problem.
Sorry if my english is not accurate.
-Canada -> looking for lvl.2 nodes -> Found one -> interacting -> Requires mysticism level +101. <<<WTF - I'M LEVEL 122 !!!!!>>>
The (Psy) node found was a on a hill in front of Argent Factory. I tried with others on the same zone, with similar results.
No idea if the trainers have, since my charac ter needs another level to train.
and yes the mystic ones in canada, science ones in area 51 and I can't remember which ones on monster island are screwy, that way
