is it just me ? not sure about anybody else but on the old version i used to run 3 miners in window mode and just keep swapping between them when the ore ran out, i actually enjoy my professions on games and farming but its impossible to do that on here.

isnt there some other way you can stop bots ?

The new way of mining seems to be make and level a Tao to 19, use that with pets for mining, the having to run and find new nodes I guess might be annoying, but it's not that bad of a change cause you can end up afk on 1 node for 5mins

Yeh i wouldnt mind but the nodes dont last long so i would be forever running 3 characters all over and wasting time :(

I think that's the whole point, so people can't have several other accounts mining while playing another. It also stops bots, the whole mining old style operation was injecting vast amounts of gold into the economy effectively ruining it. This is the best way, it makes people actually have to mine, rather than sitting afk. If the nodes do last 5 mins, I'd actually prefer them to last only 2 mins, purely to stop any chance of mining with multiples.

yes but you were essentially able to mine with 3 characters not one.. that really isn't in the spirit of the game no? If everyone did that then the economy would be wrecked by the influx of gold from mining. Not too sure why you would want this.

I suppose it depends how you look at it. Im a multi-boxer so i have always ran multiple characters on games and it certainly isnt the multi-boxing that spoilt any of the markets on them, it was just the 24 hour botting.

I love the new system, i may be biased though :D , this also opens doors to new possibility's.

i hate the new system cause it's pretty annoying when regular hunting
mining spots blocking small corridors while hunting (and ofcourse you dont carry that pickaxe to save weight :p)
mining spots taking my aim off the stuff i'm targeting (super annoying in ghoul king room)

That's one thing, remove nodes from KR, no one is going to mine there unless waiting for the boss, and even then most people won't bother. All they do is cause you to attack them when kiting ghouls/ghoulking, either that or make them untargetable with spells.

I love the new system. I always mine and this makes it much more interesting and stops bots. You can still mine on multiple accounts its just takes a lot more time as its semi afk not pure afk/macro.
The system works as planned.

Having never made it to kr I didnt realsie you can mine there and I agree nodes there seems unnecessary.

I think this revolutionary way to mine is long over due
