Newbie who thinks taking the whole rock kills it? Or less charitably a jerk!

When I was new and before I had read forum posts/notes about this, that is exactly how I would leave rocks because I was paranoid that if I finished mining the rock, it wouldn't grow back.

Oh i wasn't implying the newbies were jerks but that it may have been newbies OR jerks.

I had some new players do this to my yard a few times. I politely told them that it's better to mine them all the way down, and he apologized. Some people just don't know :)

Yes. New people don't know that the rock won't grow back *unless* you mine the whole thing.

someone hopped up on no-no powder

I'm an uncontrollable nub-clearer. I can't help myself. See a nub, finish it. FINISH IT.

When I was new, I had expected the rock to grow back but I never had enough energy to mine an entire rock. And, getting a few tens-of-currants for rocks was a lot of riches, I didn't need whole rocks! Ahh, so long ago...

actually, I now wonder why not mine what they want from one or two rocks, rather than scamper about slightly mining them all?? I guess it really just is that they don't want to kill your rocks.

Yes, I really really hope it was a noob who has much to learn about the fun idiosyncrasies of this game... Or what creme said! Haha

I finally put up a note pole with a friendly tip for new miners that the rock won't grow back until it is completely used up & haven't had a single problem since. and not to brag, but I think mine was worse www.glitch.com/snaps/PUVFEH...
