Well you are right about Dublin- it is quite dead- mostly because all other mining locations are better and more profitable, so the mining factions does not mine in Dublin anymore, the gold rush times are gone since loong time.
It affects our activity too- 3 months ago there were 4-5 times more miners in Dublin- we had activity levels around 8-9 days per month and were always in top 10 of the active factions- now we have around 4-6 Days activity per month- after all there is no reason for Molly to patrol empty Dublin right?
Second thing is that every time when there are 3-4 miners in Dublin and I scramble team of 2-3 Mollys to rob them they simply log out.
[M]- tag tends to scary all kind of commercial ships and act as magnet to all kind of military ships since Z line sux in PvP especially in group fights and everyone and his dog likes to harvest easy blue msgs- this is the worst curse of anyone playing Molly but we try to cope with it somehow, the line is at least buffed enough to allow usage of Werewolf compared with 4.85.
I guess that the solution is to rotate the bonus of the mining field once per month or so on random way- so all of the involved factions could get the option to be active- you can also look at the activity levels of BMM| I cannot remember actually to see one in a month or 2 outside of Connecticut. In general it is mining balance issue not Molly only issue. I guess rising this point in the General Discussion or something could help a bit.
You are definitely not right about the Timezones- we have only 2- 3 members who can be online in the US timezone and this from around 20 people in the faction- so yes you could not expect big movement in that time.
