At this current state people are being rewarded for afk mining, it's a stupid concept that literally thrives people away from the actual base/raid/rp/having fun, you can already see the effects this has, there is little to no bases at all times throughout the entire day, because there is simply no point in basing anymore, mining is more money, its more safe, and it's less you have to pay attention to. Whereas basing you would get killed by rich people using suits and overpowered explosives. This is coming from a player who has been on Zarp since 2013, who has seen the good and bad things in Zarp, but 2015 zarp was definitely the best time, back then there was tons of big bases that were hard to raid, that you had to get your lads on to raid, and it was great fun. Nowadays you can solo raid everything easily with the help of suits and other op factors.
