Remote Harvesting

I understand that we need to be AT the location to place a beacon, or capture a gateway -
but once the beacon is placed, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us harvest dominators remotely, when using that beacon!!!
we can warp there and capture spirits, or place doms., or anything, but NOT harvest?!?!? please change soon!!!
ps - yes i know theres a thread about this already

yea but maybe more threads will catch more attention, honestly there are NO Gateways where i am so i cant put dominators anywhere near me so i gotta use beacons made by other players to find stuff but i cant harvest any of my Dominators... conclusion this game either needs gateways in EVERY city (and yes i am in a city) or we can harvest remotely... honestly what difference does harvesting remotely make, your capped by the max number of dominators you can make anyways

yes but placing dominators is really only advantageous to the enemy, because without remote harvesting those dominators out of your range can only be harvested&destroyed by the enemy. That doesn't seem fair.

I would love to see a solution for this problem too! :s
In my country there aren't any gateways, so the dominators are useless for me because I can't harvest them! :s
Either let us harvest all of our dominators, no matter where they are, or you put gateways in every country...

all it takes is one person with an iphone and a beacon and the "farm" can be totally wiped out...i dont get it -
besides, if both sides are doing it, it evens out, and then it STILL comes down to attacking each others gateways, etc

Its been tried many times before during beta. Doesn't work, makes the game boring and is usually really unbalanced.

What I think would make more sense is allowing someone physically there on your team to harvest /for/ you, as a proxy. That would still require someone within 2km as a good limiting factor, but would encourage teamwork inasmuch as you could drop Dominators in an ally's neighborhood to help them hold a gate, and they could harvest for you. (Maybe have a small penalty as well for this... the harvest isn't quite as bountiful, or it gets split between the harvester and the dominator owner. That would still make harvesting your own dominators preferable, but not required.)

Then don't place them. Simple.
But also remember that placing doms and conquering gateways can give your teammates bonus points, if the conquered gateway is in the cloud view from their dom being harvested.
So you need to weigh the pors and cons of placing it. Of course, if there is no benefit from it, then don't place it.
