Mining changes

[Cannon]

All ore prices have been significantly reduced. The reasons for this change are:
- the imbalance of traders to miners because it seems that mining is significantly more profitable than trading.
- the number of miners F1ing when approached by pirates
- the number of swearing and language related sanctions on miners

The rep-hack for IMG against daumann and kruger has been removed, all hostile reps will be set to neutral automatically.

I believe mining will make a maximum of about 30 mil/hour at the moment.

If someone can show me a trade route that makes 40 mil per hour or more, I will increase mining to allow at least this profitability.

If someone can present a good argument about why profitability should be more than trading then I'll make it more than trading.

Success, I suppose.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

The rep-hack for IMG against daumann and kruger has been removed.

Have the reps been 'forced' to neutral, or will they no longer be made hostile?

The reps need to be forced back to normal because it's a bitch to re-rep those hostile reps back to normal without screwing alot of other factions.

ERRRRR........so you reduce the ore price because the traders don't earn so much as a miner? so why don't they mine? or better, why don't increase traders profits?

IMG rep is fixed? so why is my rep still hostile with Daumman and Kruger? oh, wait need to start killing god knows who, loosing time, just because someone made a mistake.


anyway, thanks Cannon, for the quick fix. ya cool mate.

I don't agree with that at all. Mining is only about equal to trading in profit if done correctly. If done solo, it's actually less profitable. Now it's not even close.

I think the imbalance has to do with mining being a lot more fun than trading. Trading is incredibly boring, mining is a fresh change of pace.

I've never really done any trading in all my time here in Disco, I hate it, it's so incredibly boring. I do however mine, I found it to be way more fun than trading. It's almost soothing and it makes an income. Now that's gone as a viable income, trading is way more profitable and the only real way of making money again. So I suppose I'm right back to being super poor.
