What is the purpose of this event? All I EVER get is shimmerweave scraps, mithral ore and exotic pelt. And then if I open too many I get a completely useless item and it has cost me 1.5 silver. Is it that hard to determine between bots and a real player? How about the chance of getting somethign useful like a arcane shard, mark of potency, dragon egg maybe?
This is just wasting 30 minutes in the events slots that could be used for soemthing more beneficial to players. Extend DD event for 30 minutes or something rather than filling it will this useless event, or actually give us the chance of getting a decent profession item. I have done this 100's of times and never had anything that I don't get outside of the profession event.

Its not bugged, there is a limiter mechanic in place to prevent over farming. If you hit too many nodes in a certain time frame. The game simply locks you out from getting anything useful and starts giving you junk. At that point, all you can do is to stop opening nodes until your penalty times out.

You just said nothing using many words.
Wow,so you mean Cryptic designed their content in such a manner that you absolutely need to farm the HAMSTER out of things in order to get anywhere if you don't want to spend money, then they LIMIT how much can actually BE farmed? Ballz of steel. This is yet another botched "solution" the devs have implemented, IMHO. Limiting players (especially paying ones) is never a good thing.
Yep. Same reason they changed coal ward drops. They're trying to limit botters and their stranglehold over the auction house. Unfortunately drop percentages on good items are now so low only botters can reasonably acquire them. Since supply is so low compared to demand, botters get to charge extra. It's not hurting them in the slightest degree. Only legit players get hosed. Look at coal ward and dragon egg prices.

Fixed your post.
However, its not long and they do not have many, in all reality, they should HALF the GG event time, that is the most boring PVE Ive done in any MMO Ive ever played, including regrinds ect.. you spend 5 mins getting a few turn ins, turn them in and wait for a share.. or lo and behold you could spend 2 hours doing that and get the same thing, but help people who maybe going into PVP mode match that refuse to include you anyways =P...
You shouldn't have to do it more then once to just run both dungeons, so the people who are there are actually only the ones who want to win the events, otherwise, the rest of us just want to run a couple of dungeons.
This^.
These clowns are only hurting legit players with his ways to limit botters.
Example: I have 5 chars that I invoke every day and do professions. Got 43 Wondrous Augmentation boxes before the news one where put in place. Read that the drop rate was nerfed, waited until I got 45 new boxes (9 weeks of invocation) and opened all of them.
Result:
43 old boxes = 7 Coal, 13 wards and tons of rank 4;
45 new boxes = 1 Coal, 6 wards, 12 Peridots, 2 Aquamarine, and some rank 4.
They are turning the game more and more grind, what benefits exactly the botters.
What exactly are you getting out of the nodes during the professions event that you think it's worth keeping?
The junk I get, I can get in much larger quantities out of the chest of goods from leadership.
I have never gotten assets, dragon eggs, etc. out of them.
as for the limits put on skill node looting, it just means that you're too efficient in looting skill nodes. i used to farm skill nodes specifically in certain zones but i stopped doing that after feywild dropped. monsters were dropping more r3 & r4 enchants and i would just loot skill nodes in the daily quest areas. i stopped getting junk in my skill nodes after that.
In what logic is being too efficient at something does not return the best result?
- JailBreak (in development)
if you're too efficient, you could be a machine and not a live player. hence the limitations.
I see, so reaching machine level efficiency hinders one return, hum this is not very rewarding and I understand why some would want it to be remove. Kinda of like the Rough AD Refinement limitation. Good thing they don't apply this to Dungeons Delves, PVP, Skirmishes, etc.
Not to mention everyone hits max level so fast that even if you wanted to make useful items you cant because by the time you can make that item you've most likely out leveled it, not to mention the fact that you often find dropped gear that's just as good if not better then what you can make. As far as I can tell the only useful reason to max level a profession is to make gemmed pants and shirt and reinforced bracers. But like I said first you need the epic items.......or you just do what everyone else does and live without he reinforced bracers an then buy the gemmed pants and shirts from player who've already invested heavily in their professions.
...That has to be the most backwards thought process I've ever seen. Let's make an event where your goal is to farm nodes. Then let's limit the amount of said nodes that you can farm. Because clearly if you're good at something you must be a bot!
