So, I got my alt to level 40 yay go me. she has mining and an elite mining doohickie. It has a level 40 limit to use but yay now she is level 40 so I upgrade the plot with the elite mining plot.......
 
only to find that most of the nodes that it spawns have a level 45 requirement to harvest  <_<
 
Carbine why you do this.
please fix it. If has a level 40 limit to build it should also have a level 40 limit to harvest

This has been brought many times beofre, and I'm afraid the answer is "Because".
Or maybe it's to try to avoid low level characters from using mining circles to make money. I'm not sure.

Don't forget "Reasons *thread-lock*"
 
This is one of those matters that is not up for discussion, and the Devs are not listening.

			Considering that there are no crafting Contracts, I'll have to agree with that conclusion for the time being. But personally, I think it more likely they were trying to fix something (who knows what)and were just plain silly about it.

Not buying it.
It only affects mining nodes.
The restrictions are 5 levels higher than where players start encountering the nodes.
Resource gathering is one of the worst ways to make money in this game.
If they were serious about dealing with bots they'd fix the glaring holes in their motion prediction that allows them to fly/teleport/speed hack.
Getting to 45+ is trivial especially if you have access to RL slave labor like the gold farmers do.  Going all the way to 50 opens up far more lucrative gold generation possibilities.
 
IMO this is CRB telling crafters to get stuffed.

Back in the day there were literally trains of warping bots lvl 15 and below. You'd see them streak across the sky all over the place in grimvault. Hence the level restrictions. Carbine did a massive banwave, with the help of some nifty addons like botzapper to help the gm's. This game was infested with bots, then they slowly disappeared after the banwave and with subs dropping like flies the botters found the game unprofitable. Carbine probably became lazy to remove those restrictions as its not really a problem.

Whatever the problem was, without a proper detailed explanation, the current fix is bad design.
It's lots of small bad decisions like these that kill a game. 1000 paper cuts

I'm not talking about out in the open world. I'm specifically talking about the elite mining plot you build on your housing plot. you can build it at level 40 but can't harvest the majority of the nodes because they have a level 45 requirement. If that was meant to fix something it was a pretty terrible fix.

Has Carbine ever disappointed?

Just want to mention that I haven't forgotten about this. I could not post at the time I learned about this since I wasn't subscribing.
 
I have now used my free ten days and even though I haven't gone to look at mining nodes out of pure sadness (or maybe it was something about having to go past the main city to get to high level area...) I understand this level requirement is still the case.  At least I don't see another mention about this in the crafting forum after this thread?
 
The change destroyed my wishes about crafting pretty much completely, fearing just more to happen (especially now that I have noticed another thing that has gotten a level requirement too). Did at the time contribute greatly to my decision to not resubscribe. Not that it is really necessary soon but not too much playing I want to do any more. Crafting was a massive driving force for me. :/
