Development Notice: Mining Update

[Sylvie557]

Soooooo, mining has seen very little change in what seems like forever other than mining location/sellpoint swaps then all of a sudden a ton of what seem to be a haphazardly thrown together changes are just thrown in out of nowhere that honestly seem to make mining almost pointless.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad to see some actual changes and some seem to be good ideas but I feel like there are both quite a few crap ones thrown into the mix and the fact that while mining did need nerfing/rebalancing, it definitely did not need to be nerfed from every direction. Why not just implement a few of the changes and see how things work and how people react to the change and go from there, don't understand why anyone would think it would be a good idea to just randomly release so many of these things changes at once other than to say, "Hey look we did all this work changing mining."

EDIT: Also, like others have said the fact that this whole thing seems to pretty much have just ignored countless player suggestions that have been submitted during the period when mining seemed to get little to no changes that contained some pretty good ideas(most recent and the one I am most familiar with was Karst's suggestions that honestly seemed to be better thought out than this). While I do feel like overall the devteam has gotten a bit better about letting the community contribute through suggestions on new ideas and opinions on implemented changes I still feel like there is still a need for a bit more transparency and a willingness to let the community help to contribute on certain aspects. Yes you will never please everyone but I do feel like a lot of the complaints and hating could honestly be mitigated.

(This rambling rant brought to you by lack of sleep)
