Mine room claims. 10/08/2014 01:32 PM CDT
Is it possible to implement a system in mining where a player can stake a claim on a room they're mining that disallows other players from mining in that room? At least as long as the player with the claim is still in the room or the room contents refill? I'm getting a little tired of finding rare veins, getting half way into it only to have someone running a mining script come in and start mining it out from under me, then having to stop and drag them out and a couple rooms away before I can begin mining again.

Are you reporting these people? I would. In a heartbeat.

I have, and it still happens. Still would be nice to have a way to protect the rare veins you've found.

Excuse my ignorance, and I absolutely think that the practice is very poor form - but why is it reportable?

They're presumably AFK, so by reporting them they can be investigated for that.
