Please for the love of god increase the price of mines again! I'm in the process of clearing out my profile of mines, and so far I have run into 150 (literally, I've been counting), all from http://pmog.com/users/ultimatepuff

This is terrible and not fun at all. I can't even send messages (sorry, Moxie!) because I have no DP! Letting the mines take all my dp is costing less than if I had tried to buy armor to ward it off instead.

UPDATE: Okay, I'm at OVER 300 now, but I don't have time to deal with this. I can't even open Moxie's crate because I'll just lose everything to these mines. This is really pissing me off. Hopefully when I get back from class I'll see something has been done about this... Did I fail to mention that a 13-year old boy is ruining PMOG for me?

UPDATE: There were nearly 400 mines on my profile. That is disgusting.

That makes a couple of us.

Can someone please fix this problem very, very soon? It unbalances the game so hard it's not even remotely entertaining.

I think this image kind of tells the story!

Uggggggggh... this is the worst thing. Having sales on items seriously unbalances the game. It was much better the way it was before! And now there are about one-billion mines lying around...

@buffpojken: apparently some of the mines you tripped were mine... sorry about that :/ I was trying to get ultimatepuff but apparently that didn't work.

Yah - seems the destroyers broke into the shoppe overnight and looted the mine supply. We've adjusted the prices accordingly!

I'm glad you've fixed the prices, but what about the existing overabundance of mines that have already been laid/bought?

Thanks for killing all my DP JOE :<

in one visit to your profile.

I was wondering why did i not get any notification that I hit mines? I just noticed my dp drop and my armor turn off?

Same here.

May I humbly suggest a change in the game mechanics to the designers?

Make it impossible to mine any page under pmog.com?

Everyone must visit it, so there isn't really any surprise/tactic-angle to it. By allowing it to be mined, you're in reality punishing people to hang out on the side, which can't be a good idea.

However, I'm all for crates, portals and missions on pmog.com - because they invite you to explore around.

My $0.02 of design thoughts...

I second that buffpojken. or at the very least one mine layed per person per page. thus you would need a large alliance to mine all the DP from one person on one site.

But there really isn't any good design point with it?

The point of the mines, as I have understood them, is to introduce a certain sense of danger in surfin around? Now, where's the fun to do that at the one page you KNOW everyone must visit?

Perhaps a limit to the number of mines laid per person per page would be wise? The ability to lay 6+ mines on a single page makes armour completely devoid of use. I do apologise for my bluntness, but there it is. I wouldn't mind if so much if I tripped 6 mines on a single page if they weren't all from the same person (several people could team up I guess, but that adds at least a little bit of strategy); like I say, it negates the reason for having armour entirely.

Honestly, A "safe zone" may not be a bad Idea.

No user generated content in the codex and on an individuals own profile?

Mines on my own profile page = LAME

First of all, sorry to everybody who hit my mines on ultimatepuff's page (or anywhere else I accidentally left them) or any of ultimatepuff's mines on my page. I've finally cleared out the near-400 mines! Thankfully they now do only 5 dp damage... but that makes armor completely worthless! I'm just glad there are no more mines on my profile. Although ultimatepuff still has 85 or so left... :/

Same here crimsoneer....
I just had 150dp and full armor, and since then i've opened a few tabs (including this) and now i have no dp, no armor, adn there was no notification of any of this...
I just checked the logs and
2 X you just foiled the1joebob's mine with armor.
21 X you just tripped the1joebob's mine.
5 X you just tripped joe's mine.
I would recommend pausing the game....

Just happened to me, again. Loads of damage. I have 3dp.
I suspect server lag.
