I skin and mine with my rogue.
If someone takes my node when I'm in the process of killing the last mob I just vanish and start mining myself after the mob attacks the other player. The other guy does tend to get the point.
For skinning I've never been stolen from. Amazingly. And I've never asked before skinning but I always check if the other guy is a skinner.
Lol - my problem is usually rogues. Whle I'm fighting the mobs next to the nodes, they stealth in and mine the node behind me. Paladins aren't particularly stealthy... <clank, clank, clank>
The worst experience I had was when a mob spawned behind me while I was mining a silver vein. I had removed two ore before it spawned, and while I was fighting it off, a rogue appeared next to the node and finished mining it. I sent him a tell with the single word "jerk", and he responded "you are /ignored. I saw this node first."
I think one of my funniest experiences was when I decided as a level 50 that I wanted to mine some rich thorium veins in Un'Goro crater. I did find one, and as I got close to it, I was attacked by a level 56 mob. That fight took over fifteen minutes (all of my damage spells were resisted, so I was reduced to doing melee damage and saving my mana to heal myself), and during that time and undead rogue came up to the node, watched me fight for quite a while, mined out the node, continued watching me fight for a while, /cheered me, then took off, while I was still fighting. I decided to level up some before trying another node in that area.
