I will admit something here that I usually dare not in public.
I like to mine alone.
I know! I know! I am a horrible horrible person and an even worse glitch! It's just that the only times I mine I want to make a few extra currants/XP/FP really quickly! THE SHAME. THE HORROR. I think a lot of people think that co-op mining benefits ALL, and is a cup of freaking sunshine for everyone ,but in truth, since I have mining VI and get high yields... whenever someone mines with me I get considerably less sparkly. I know most will disagree with this but it is TRUE!
So I avoided Neva Neva and AB where mining newbs* and experts do not get rewarded based on merit but on who can click first (infact the "newbs"* are rewarded disproportionately higher than others) .As everyone in Forum suggested, I started going to less used streets in the deeps (wasting valuable impervious miner time walking from rock to rock, street to street).
However it seems no matter how far in the deeps or Callopee or WHEREVER I go I always have someone helping.WHICH IS GREAT ON PAPER.But, when there is a rock right next to me I wish there was a way to let my fellow glitchen know that I would prefer to mine alone if at all possible.
Maybe we can all decide if you see someone mining buttnekkid with darkskin and no ears that means they are feeling like breaking away from the pack and become a lone wolf for a while? Ideas? Thoughts?
*By newbs I in know way mean to demean someone!It is just a way to explain someone who has limited mining skills as opposed to Mining VI.
