Some issues I have with mining is that a LOT of people always steal the rocks by hitting ones that are not being used and taking that rock after the rock they are mining.I would really recommend to take it down a notch and let players mine ONE AT A TIME. Please do this it really annoys me.  

Hello Nibbles

I find that this is a problem, and I completely agree. Do you think a good fix for this would be to reset all rocks you've hit when hitting another one? For example, you hit rock A, and then you start hitting rock B because you want to save rock A for later. When hitting rock B, rock A will no longer be owned by you, and anybody else would be able to hit it.

Opinions / Feedback?  

Why one at a time? Do you know how time consuming that will be?  

Yes Alpho,this would be a great addition to the game.Also, if the player tries to hit two rocks they lose one durability on their pick axe.Thanks for reading my thread!

Yes, even though it IS time consuming it isn't fair for players to get two rocks.It means that one person can just hit every single rock and take all of them while the other miners have nothing to mine.  

I feel like the issue will sort its self out once their is more mines added  

Maybe.  

Maybe if you didn't lack self-awareness you wouldn't be letting others mine a rock you didn't pay attention to. You snooze, you lose.

I think what he meant is that when person A is mining a rock - and there are around 3 other rocks that are present - person B hits all 3 rocks and by doing so he'll prevent person A that has finished mining that one rock from going onto the other 3 rocks as long as he keeps hitting the rocks, which is unfair. He maybe aware of the other 3 rocks that are present, but someone might just be selfish enough to keep all the rocks to himself while another person is just working on mining 1 rock.  

Exactly.  

What is wrong with claiming more rocks than the other players? That player will be doing 3x more work than Person A. You can either increase the # of rocks in the area, reduce the time a player claims a rock, or leave it the way it is.

It won't fair for other players.  

You see the issue is that we have so many people mining. It is the new way to earn money quick. So we need more mines. There is 8 People mining Diamonds alone. We only have 12 rocks to mine. We need more rocks, why not add another room down stairs where the Gold Shap and Ruby are at. Make it two rooms emeralds after ruby and shap and dimaond the next.

We are miners and we need more rocks to mine in peace. or add more mines as you said you would along time ago.

Mining is the new best thing.  

Truthfully, this would be great.Alpho read this now!  

This would be awesome! It also wouldn't be bad to raise the sell prices of rocks... While mining gold I barely make 300 gralats per pickaxe
