Totally perplexed by this one, and cant have anything to do
with bad luck.

My son and I run the 3 zones for orichalum and plants for the past
month. We are in the same guild, both level 80. Literally 1-2 times
in 10 he gets to double mine/pick a node. Im assuming this is because
of the WvW gathering buff (or guild buff). Just 5 minutes ago, I watched
him mine 6 orichalum ore from a normal mine.

Heres the thing, Ive NEVER gotten extra ore from a mine, or bonus
on plants. Literally never. And Im talking hundreds of times in the past month
or two. I make sure to double check every one too.

What am I missing? We in same guild with same buffs, so either my luck
is impossibly non existant or its a bug. I wanted to see if others have seen
same thing before I post on arenanet forums.
