Since they time gated the mine levels I've not had any issue mining with my main. Maybe L5 and beyond will be an issue but so far L4 is totally fine.

"not the best but fine" fits my experience with mining maybe you just need better gear and a better pickaxe

I agree that the strenght needed for mining is way out of balance looking at other stats,
You guys are saying its nor a problem if you have dedicated miner or something, but what if you are hermit?
you either need to make an alt(which like mentioned before they want to lower the needs for them) or basically fuck your other stat gaining, because you need a lot more strength than other stats for mining on the mine levels,
and with mining so important like getting stones for axes which raise your overall quality i dont the big difference in Attributes amount should be something good or required for you to progress.
With the mine levels timegated behind the pyres at the start of the world, and the big factions which can produce titans for mining much easier its not benefiting anyone who plays solo or in small groups.

The main point is that FEP gain is based on the highest stat, so when your miner needs to have much higher stats than others, trying to gain more attributes of different kind its getting much harder, and thus can be discouraging, when you don't want to play "all you need is alts" game

If you are a hermit you are accepting that your progress will be way slower than any group. Which also means you shouldn't expect going down 1 level per week. Take your time on upper levels, and slowly work your way down as you gain more strength.

This game has lots of broken systems, mining is one that works pretty decently. Attempting to rebalance it would be a waste of time IMO

feels kinda funky that 2 worlds ago we had a character with 5-6k strength and there were rocks on L9 that he couldn't even scratch with a nearish top pickaxe
