Before The War Within Patch 11.2: Ghosts of K’aresh:
My max-rank talents worked perfectly:
Herbalism: Botany 40/40 (“Learn how to gather Khaz Algar herbs while mounted”)
Mining: Mining Fundamentals 60/60 (“You can now mine while mounted in Khaz Algar”)
Result: Flawless gathering while mounted in Druid Archdruid’s Lunarwing Flying Form for months.
After Patch 11.2:
Same talents, same character, same mount:
Now getting blocked with red error: “YOU CAN’T DO THAT WHILE MOUNTED”
Addon? Gathering while mounted works for me np.
I suggest reporting it as a bug in game via the bug report tool.
yes thanks to our efforts we managed to deal a massive damage to those hackers and multiboxers at hollowfall.
you cant sit on that druid flying form legion and do multiboxing anymore .
this was a good update and we will try to remove multiple account gathering from wow if we can.
it was destryoing the economy and making everything cheap and worthless,
also it was not normal in an online game
No one talking about multiple accounts, hacker and others.
Bots still can flying gather herbs, and I need to run legs by ground now like classic vanila.
So now as a druid I need every time to shift out from flying - gather herb - and shift into flying back, am I a nature guardian or what?
When hackers using dk\paladin gather their herbs without dismounting. Who you fighting with? 
well the reall reason for it was in this topic.
in this topic check that picture in the link.
there was so many many hackers and botts and multiboxers doing exploit like what you will see in that link in the topic.
they were destroying the AH so blizzard had to do something.
and about botts or multiboxing around the world.
now you have to jump down dismount and take those herbs and ores then jump on your friends druid or other account . you cant easily farm like before the update again
and for those botts they cant use the lunarwing form as botting and keep gathering on that bott when it moves with their other accounts.
thats the reason
I am able to mine while riding a flying mount, so maybe it’s a bug or something that affects druids?
no its only for lunarwing form of the druid but for the person that jumps on the druid not the druid itself/.
Gj those trains must be punished.
My problem little different, I have just one alt-dudu to gathering, no dual-mounting etc and he stop working now.
As druid if I use any generic mount all works, but don’t works in “shapeshift” ehh
as you said about lunarwing form.
if you are the druid in lunarwing form then you should be able to farm normaly without dismount or any problem but if someone jumps on you he cant.
BUT if you have this problem in any flying form of the druid for yourself then maybe its a bug or error coming from your addons. maybe
let me go in the game and check it . wait a second
ok so im online and tested it on lunar wing and normal mode its working fine.
your problems comes from something els in the game
Yep smth goes wrong with my druid 
Ty for clearing hollowfall, can you handle those guyes in Dorn now?

ah so they do it alone without one dude on their back now XD?
ok thanks for letting me know GL
I see a lot of bots still farming - I see one person with 5 accounts every day flying and farming on a mount. He also does dualboxing - I have this person’s name and I will definitely give it to the gamemaster if they need it.
They fixed the bug where you could mine in the air. You could do this with no talent, any mount in dynamic mode, any level, anywhere. Now it is working as intended, supposed to land and mine just not be thrown off your mount. For druid form I think it just doesn’t work.
hello. Oligaretail.
yes sadly there will be another after a while when the first ones gets banned.
Obsidian Nightwing works good
So I am confused here. I was also able to do mining while being mounted (on my other charatcer that has mining). Now it doesn’t work anymore. Is there any way to unlock it for us “normal” players that are not bots?
You all suffered legacy players old legion achievements grind coz of couple bots. Try use obsidian nightwing mount if have.
no. this was done in order to stop exploiters at hollowfall.
you have to jump down and take the herbs or ores and then jump up on other mount again
Devaluation of Achievements:
The Lunarwing Form is a prestigious and, more importantly, extremely difficult reward to obtain. Unlocking this form requires completing a long chain of Legion-era achievements, including earning the title Archdruid and progressing through stages such as Uniting the Isles and Breaching the Tomb. Removing one of the key and unique functions of this form devalues the time and effort that players invested in obtaining it.
Inconsistency in Game Logic:
The core issue is that the system misclassifies the druid form. Essentially, when the druid becomes a mount, it is a single entity with one passenger riding on it. However, the game mistakenly treats this configuration as a traditional two-seater mount, consisting of a mount, a driver, and a passenger. This creates an absurd situation. Compare this hard-to-obtain form with a regular two-seater mount available through Dragonriding talents. On such mounts, passengers cannot gather resources, which is intended behavior. The druid form, earned through a difficult achievement that existed long before Dragonriding was introduced, should not be subjected to the same logic as widely accessible mounts. This contradicts both common sense and the unique nature of the druid’s shapeshift.
Accessibility Function:
This mechanic was an important accessibility feature for players with physical limitations, as well as for cooperative play with friends and family. It allowed people to participate in resource gathering without the difficulties of navigating and flying alone. The loss of this function has significantly reduced the value of cooperative gameplay for many players.
Unintended Regression:
It appears that this change was not intentional, as it was not documented in the official patch notes. This suggests that the issue arose as a result of broader systemic changes, during which the game logic incorrectly applied restrictions intended for standard two-seater mounts to the druid’s unique form.
