Mine proverb

What's up with the new question/proverb to answer to get into the mines? The mines are basically worthless since they took all the gems out, so why add a question to get into them? I've never heard of a bot that enters the mine for you. Is there one? If yes, then what does it do?

Why add "riddles/proverbs" to the special quests (ie, Christmas, Halloween, etc). I think it's more just to add more "atmosphere" to the game, being that it's supposed to be set in ancient china.

And on the gem thing, I believe they may be slowly adding the gems back into the mines a couple of my guildies have got super gems recently out of TC mine.

Adding gems back in would be nice, but they took them out because of the overuse of Cotobo and it never had a function for entering the mine.

I don't buy the "atmosphere" reason because it quickly changes from "atmosphere" to "annoyance" when you have to do it every time you enter a mine.

So that people would stop mining :rolleyes:

To prevent bots is my guess. :) and it might be to prevent future auto miners. There were some before and there will be some again. This just makes it a little harder to do :P

i just mined a tortoise gem yesterday from plains mine, so i don't think that gems have been taken out. This was a few hours before the server upgrade to new patch.

To be honest i've mined the plains mine forever it seems like and this is the first gem i got. I kindof thot that gem mining was a myth. However I haven't been back since the server update.

haha I remember way long ago. You could easily get 3 gems in 5 minutes. They reduced it for their gem composing to make it harder to get better quality gems.

SV can auto mine for you, go store Gems in your WH then go mine again. surely they implemented the question for SV Miners.
