The hell was square thinking with mining/botanist.

The only real problem with Mining / Botany is that your GP comes back SO SLOWLY. 1 GP per second? That makes Leaf Turn a what, 5 minute cooldown to use? What the hell?

If DoH took so long to regenerate CP it would be a ridiculously boring slog as well.

The big difference is that mining is not active - Run between 4 nodes and mash your mining button 4 times. You might use skills on one of those 4 nodes every 2 passes. Hoorah!

If your GP reset every node, or hell if your GP just regenerated at a much faster rate you could actually think about what to use on each node. Instead it's just "mash A 4 times in a row and move on" 90% of the time.

I personally much preferred the mining minigame from 1.0 to this mindless slog.

Also this problem makes it ridiculously easy to Bot mining. I hope they look into this.
