Miner changes unfair

[ArcheustheWise]

I am not certain that the adjustment is required. Gathering is boring like hell, and imho it is due DOL classes are underdeveloped. As far as their leveling speed is concerned it looks to be on par, or even exceeds that of the other classes.

No it doesnt. Currently they are the slowest classes to level. Period.

The fighting classes have their fates, crafters have thier hqs, fisher is .well, just fisher and perfect where it is aside from needing a bit more viablity, and at the VERY end are the other two gathers which have twice as much grind as anyone else.

They need to give current miners something to make up for this. Why spend your time doing anything in this game if they are going to make it easier and easier for everyone else? I feel cheated. I wasted all this time leveling miner and now they are trying to make it something that can be done in half the time.

This is the equivalent of saying you deserve something for a choice you voluntarily made that ultimately did not turn out to be in your favor. In the Japanese online community there's a saying "人柱乙", it roughly translates to a sarcastic way of saying "thanks for being the guinea pig". It speaks to the fact that rushing ahead of others just means you take on the risk of becoming the "first victim" that is sacrificed to uncover any issues so that a fix is offered for everyone else.

Let this be a lesson, never try to be the first of anything in this game.

Wait what? Increasing the amount of EXP you gain makes mining/botany less tedious? No it bloody doesn't, it just means you're doing something tedious for less time... Running between nodes and hitting confirm several times is still just as tedious as it'll always be, maybe they should fix that instead of making this game even more ridiculously easy to level up in?

Uh....tedious to you doesnt mean it's tedious to someone else, stop being so narrow minded.

Are you really sure? It just took me like 40 minutes to get 44-45 via leves. And simply gathering is just around two times slower. Crafting hqs might be faster but they are not self sufficient, so it is hard to estimate how much time they actually take.

Being someone who mines his own shards 250 at a time for Culinary. I welcome the change

I think the additional exp being added in the hot fix is unfair to other players who worked hard on leveling there miners. I spent the larger part of leveling miner in 1.0 and accepted the relative "easiness" of getting my last five levels in 2.0 since it was a new game... But this is just BS!

If only I could level off all the tears in this thread, I'd be 50 already..

Lets do some rough math (lots of rounding).

61 servers, roughly each sever supports 7800 concurrent users connected, we'll be conservative and say there are twice as many accounts on each server. So, we get around 15,600 accounts per server. So, the overall game has a population of 951,600. Again keep in mind I'm just doing really rough estimates.

So, when someone complains on this forum, and shouts as loud as they can, what portion of the population do they actually represent?

About 0.0001% and that's being really generous. At the time of my posting this I see the OP's post has at least 5 people who like/agree with him.

So, that makes those 6 individuals(OP included) represent 0.0006% of the population that think the mining update is unfair.

One word to this: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
This pleases me greatly. *Skips away into a field of daisies*

Botany and Miner are tedious. Do I personally mind that tedium? Not in the slightest, in fact I enjoy it. I was simply pointing out the silliness of some peoples posts claiming that this will "fix" the classes; it wont. If someone finds running up to a node and hitting enter a few times before running up to another, to be tedious, then they'll still find it tedious after this adjustment... They are tedious classes, all this adjustment means is people will spend less time leveling in that tedium; anyone who intends to actually use the classes will still be doing the same tedious routine, the classes don't magically change after 50.

*pulls out tricorder* Captain! I am detecting high levels of entitlement in this vicinity....... I request that we move to a safer location.
