Re: [POLL] Has Mining update been successful?

If people aren't mining now that it's incredibly easy, they still won't mine even if mining was reverted. There would probably be less miners, since there would be no fun goodies to look forward to without RnD's help.

They're a random event that happens pretty rarely, and it's even more rare for it to be enjoyable. Most ninjas that know the mechanics use their visor to antag hunt and "accidentally" gib the AI.
