Alpho, does the transition of pickaxe durability (say from wood all the way to diamond) affect the mining speed of say one rock? If not, you should consider the idea of having a faster mining speed for all minerals (depending on level) in accordance to the pickaxe's durability. I would also like to see an increase in time for the possession of rocks. 5 seconds is too short. Receiving a pm, and then answering it always leads to some crafty person putting their 4 damage in on the rock as soon as the 5 second grace period is over.
