Trading faction should TRADE ! Make events, take contracts, interact with someone instead of shooting rocks all day long and running off the plane when you see a pirate coming.
DHC will also lose members, but power-miners didn't do anything for the faction anyway. They just sit in the mining field and scream when <strike>hessians</strike> pirates come to rape them.
No mining = more trading = more pirating = more interactions = more RP = more fun
i dont play on the server much, if at all. but i know that cannon doesnt like this decision, because it potentially harms the activity of certain factions tied in heavily to mining. so here is what i want to know- i want to know what makes people believe that nerfing or shutting off mining would have a positive effect on the server in any way, given that its not the mining that has caused as many problems but the horrible attitude players have towards each others, but in RP and oorp (alot of the hate is oorp which spills into inRP, which is wierd, given that this is a game and is meant to be enjoyed as such).
[color=#FFFFFF]I don't give a rat's arse about the retarded miners. I don't give a rat's arse about piracy but that would generally kill the RP of the IMG, why be in Tau-23 at all if you can't mine? Be there because Vanilla NPCs are "possibly" mining ore or would they just admit that that the Outcasts won the system. That's the reason I am raging
