Seems to be an unwritten rule in MMOs that have crafting. If someone is mining a node, it is theirs. This seems true in RS as well, if you are mining most others will let you have your node. There are some node stealers out there and they are really annoying. They'll jump on whatever node you are mining and then follow you around doing the same thing. Its different from fishing or trees where you can get multilpe fish/logs from one point. Anyways .. just wanted to get that off my chest :) .
