Mining is by far, one of the slowest jobs on Era.
With the number of guns users have it should be sped up to allow them to repair.

It takes 30 seconds to get a single rock pile.
That's 1min 30 seconds for 3 rocks...
Then it takes 12 seconds to process those rocks into ores.
Total time of: 1minute 42 seconds to get 1 - 3 rocks...
Which only would make you a max of $21 - $24...
And would NOT even be enough to repair one gun.

My suggestion:
Decrease the time it takes to mine a rock drastically.
5seconds tops, because it takes another few seconds to process it.

DO NOT! I repeat... DO NOT! post in here saying "IF YOU LEVEL YOUR MINING LEVEL, ITS FASTER!!! TEE-HEE "

I do not want to increase my mining level, I want to repair my damn guns haha.  

wow i am lvl 5 and i think its pretty faster but sped up a tad bit would be nice or maybe we just need a new job takes forever for someone to make 125k for the shotgun or bar

You only need to repair your weapons each 2 weeks (or 4, I forgot) and you will only expend 15 minutes to get all, or atleast most of the minerals you will need.
Changing the mining process would be nice, but also I would love to see other ways to get minerals.

Do you know how many guns I have?
It'd take at least an hour.
And mine usually rust weekly.

No, not really.
But I dont know... I only upgrade my main weapon and probably just 1 other, because I actually find dumb to upgrade weapons I am not going to use, but if you use all your weapons, I really think mining would be a pain.

I have 4+ different guns I switch around from.
Depends on what I am doing.

Basing I use shipka.
PKing while trash picking I'll use my glock18.
PKing a large mosh pit, my PBP Shotgun.
Sometimes I decide to use a tec9, or my m4 when other things aren't letting me get people.
