Don't force glitch position for gathering

Right now, players are moved rigidly to the right or left of the center of a resource for gathering.  This causes multiple players mining to stack on top of each other and makes it difficult to position oneself among closely spaced resources (like Spice Plants in West Spice).

I suggest only moving the player into range, not adjusting their position if they are already in range.

  • For mining too maybe? At least I have trouble after being moved to mine, that sometimes I'm not in range for the next time.

  • Yeah find it especially annoying when it moves you too far be still in range...

  • I have never understood the purpose behind the harvesting shunt-to-the-side. I would be happy to see it go, as it just ends up requiring more keyboarding/mousing.

  • Yes! Would love to see this go.  To me, it makes the most sense to allow me to stand directly in front of whatever I'm interacting with.

  • Ok, but if you are a mouse user, and someone is standing directly in front of, say, a barnacle, then they block your access to it so you can't help scrape.  For something like a tree that is large, or a rock for mining, this is not as much of a problem, perhaps.  Personally I don't mind being moved away from the centre of the resource because of this blocking issue.

  • Great Idea put into action!

  • The other irritating thing about this is that if you spend a lot of time in the bogs, like I do, the force-move often knocks you off the platform that you're standing on and you have to climb back up to get the next barnacle or whatever.

  • THIS HAS CHANGED! Wahoo! Now, there's only a slight adjustment to the left or right of the item's center line.

    TY for this wonderful improvement!
