Paranoid? "target is tapped"

[quick999]

I was watching the bot mine a couple days ago and noticed that it was skipping a couple nodes. After I noticed it skipped the same nodes the next day I stopped the bot and tried to mine it the old fashioned way and got a message saying "target is tapped." Again today the same nodes are "tapped" as well as a few new ones. While I was standing at one of these nodes I saw what I could only assume was an inferior bot try to mine, mount, mine, mount for about five minutes before he disappeared.

So... I was wondering if this is a way for blizz to weed out bots or if it is just a bug with the 4.3 patch.

The bot just flies right by like the node isn't even there.

Have you guys seen this? What do you think is going on?

ive had this happen to me today, it was only 1 node and i even tried to mine it manually and it will wouldn't do it. after doing a fly around, the node was gone and havent had the problem since, i would expect the only reason your bot is flying past them is because it blacklisted them. and i suspect the behavior has something to do with the patch and the wow servers acting funny, over all for me it was only 1 node and it disappeared. overall i dont think there's anything to worry about, if a GM could stop you from farming a node why wouldn't they stop you from farming all the nodes?

correct! its not just botters.

so no need to worry.

MOP stands for what they should do with Mists of Pandoria. Grab a MOP and brush it away. Who want to play big fat Panda?
