Restore PvP in mines

FIRST
eZ agree man. I don't even remember them taking it out tbh xD but whoever said we should remove PvP from it, that's pretty stupid.

 

It was fine that we experimented with this. Now, we learned it wasn't the best decision. Yes, restore PVP in mines.

 

It was originally my idea to remove PvP from mines.

1. Because it was the only legal thing to do at the moment.
2. Players just farmed noobs in mines.

I don't know why you're saying WW is dying slightly. It still gets a lot of players, but if it dying, I'm sure mines being PvP protected is not the reason.

You have some good points but I still strongly agree mines should not be PvP free. I was also behind the tree chopping idea what was supposed to help legal activites (that should be easier than illegal ones, because they make less profit).

Mining, was before just a hide camp for bandits to kill players coming there. Now it is used to what it is supposed to. Also, it is almost the only way for sheriffs to get money, and it is easy for a bandit to backstab and kill a sheriff from behind. Also, it is almost the only legal way to get money.

 

There is bandits almost in every mine :/.

 

I don't think you've ever chopped trees. It sucks. I was bored one time and acquired 17 stacks of wood, and I only got 6528 G. It took hours. Plus, if the only safe way to make an honest living was tree chopping, they would be so full of people that it would be nearly impossible to cut any logs. I think that if mines were opened to PVP, anyone who doesn't want to to illegally make money will be turned off from the server. It's just not fair to punish people who want to play by the rules.

I think a good compromise would be to add a legal way of making money that has danger involved. Cattle driving is a perfect example of this. Say that you have to bring cows from one location to another, across PVP zones. People can still kill you, and you can still fight back, but it's legal.

 

Alright, I can see some of your points, (mainly because yesterday I mined out Cordero several times and was bored out of my mind) but I'm still not 100% behind the idea. If PvP was reimplemented back into mines, I'd want to see a few changes.

Tree farming is tedious and yields so little profit. I agree that the price per log should be raised, maybe to 8 - 10G. Also, seeing that they will be the only legal way of making money, tree farms would have to be expanded drastically. Perhaps quadrupling their area would be sufficient. And, of course, axes. Axes need to be implemented, which would cut the time of harvesting.

I also agree with SoCool21, the prices per ore would need to be slightly increased. This would make the risk more worth it.

 

I agree, PvP on mines should be restored. But in that way, as a new player I wouldn't mine, so prices need to be changed and tree farms should be expanded.
I think Gold must to be the most expensive ore (Gold rush) or at least, most common.
As we know, Gold is fastly to mine than Diamond or Emerald, so that means increase the process time.
Coal: 11 g
Iron: 13 g
Gold: 17 g
Diamond: 19 g
Emerald: 21 g

Diamond and Emerald should be rare ores.

Add a way to make tree farming fastly but another step to sell (like processing) and increase the price per log.
And a way to get expensive logs in PvP zones would be interesting.

 

I'd like to see the ore value raised as well. Wood also.

 

that isn't as good

 

I think that with the addition of 9 sheriffs there is even more of a reason to have pvp in the mines. If you think about it many players new and old are complaining (with good reason) about the large number of sheriffs online at one time. The reason for the complaining? It is much more difficult to safely process drugs at rebel bases. Most of the time we have enough sheriff's on to check each rebel within 5-7 minutes. I agree this is not fair, but what else can sheriff's do but to constantly search rebel bases? Well with the amount of sheriff's online we now have enough manpower to protect the various mines, AND to patrol the bases at the same time. Not only does this give players who process drugs more of a chance to gain wealth, but it also adds more excitement to the boring process of mining!
I really hope that this idea won't just get glanced over, or put on the backburner. I truly think pvp in the mines will be a great re addition to the game. This is also one of the few ideas that benefit both bandits and sheriff's at the same time!

Thanks for reading!

 

Well you got some of what you said correct... But unless you haven't been on WW in a week than you would see that there are a large number of sheriffs online at almost any given time. Yeah we get beaten upmarket at Wildgrass often, but so what? And anyways weren't you the one who wanted pvp in the mines? And just to add on WE definitely control a lot of illegal activities at most of the bases, Wg is really the only one we are trouble with and even then we still have a surplus of sheriffs on duty at almost all times in the afternoon-evening.
