I'm currently mining massive amounts of iron and I can honestly say the amount of rude miners is staggering. Some seem to go out of their way to the point of inconveniencing themselves to annoy a fellow miner. I have my own standard of etiquette in mining which I'm sure someone would argue as arbitrary but if I've been at the Yanille iron mine for a while and someone appears there in the 45 seconds I'm banking I tell them I was there and if that doesn't work, proceed mining where I left off. If I log back in after a break and someone's there, my misfortune and I switch worlds. It's mainly how mining is set up that's the problem. Of the big three, mining, wc and fishing, it's the one that pits players against each other and causes so much strife. So until mining gets an overall, people should just use their mining manners and avoid the idiots when possible. The sad part is you actually did all those and it still didn't help.
