I only mine at about 3 in the morning, US time. And still, there's always someone, always, always someone who is too arrogant to share. I would hardly call it arrogance. On their part anyway. That person is training, and they no doubt had to train hard to get to where they are (mining is brutal training, as far as I'm concerned, at higher levels). With each new level, it's going to take even more work for them to level up. To go from 75 to 76 mining will require almost 3.2K iron ore mined. Even under the best of conditions, this could take about 3 hours of powermining. And you want these people to make that 5-6 hours? Just so lower-levels can spend 10 seconds on an iron rock for one iron ore? You seem far more arrogant than the higher level miner, expecting everyone to slow down their training to accomodate your impatience. Mining is uber-competitive. The sooner you reconcile yourself to that fact, and go mine Rune Essence until level 41 or so (and your Rune Pickaxe), the better off you'll be. I have a second account, and he mines Rune Essence. Slowly, grudgingly, but it's the way to go. I totally agree with you, 100%. I have 66 mining, although it's rather low, mining is so slow to train on F2P, with or without runners. When someone else comes to mine with me, I continue to mine, and almost always beat them to every rock. Any experienced miner with tell you that once you get 55+, you one-hit iron every time. Why then, should I let you get iron simply because you are a slower clicker? Obviously, it's not my fault because the other person can't click as fast as me. In my opinion, mining is pwoering iron is actually based on skill, not on dumb luck. I'm sorry to say, I have no sympathy for you.
