Lazy Bots

I know this would sound ridiculous and probably won't get uploaded i know but it be cool if this happened...

basically press A at a worker at the mines.
this worker will follow you (only in mines)
when hit the wall or mineral he'll mine it and pick mineral up. and when time runs out he dies (like avatar) and all u collect goes in inventory.
if you went to mining cart place you could make him mione and pick up and leave your cart open.
basically mine while your afk, trading, brutal hunting, ship battling and so on.
course this miner would cost a bit in plat to hire for that amount of time.
100 plat per 5 mins?

Although reasonible, assuming you're not mining diamonds every 5 minutes that's not really worth it. That's why this is a bad idea, in my opinion.

Just because you won't make a profit for doing nothing doesn't mean it's wrong. You should be losing money. If you were to find a diamond every five minutes, no one would not use the bots. You should be operating at a loss since you are doing no work. These bots would be used to mine for things other than diamonds, finding a few diamonds would just help cut back on the cost.

Try running a business like that. You'll quickly find that NO ONE will use your utilities. Just like no one would use this

I wouldn't imagine running a business in which you pay your customers more than you make would last long either. Active kingdom members would use it. I would. It would be a great way to collect coal and iron without giving up your 2 hours of play a day.

Why not pay for the minerals you do mine?

500 per diamond, 10 per gold etc.. and you can choose what you want?

Allowing unlimited plat-to-dia conversions will cause huge inflation.

My just asking myself why Graal 4 is the way that you can't use idling, mining or whatever for bots if we would do something like this.

The idea for boring jobs is to eventually use pets which do the job for you. You can only have a limited number of those pets and you of course need to feed them and take the minerals from time to time.

How about we make it a Worker Skeleton, and you must perform a cultish, blood-driven ritual to summon it.

I have a simple solution that wont include as much coding and time to develop. Minning company, you mine and people buy the ore and things from you. It's real easy to do such a thing, dont need many players to get a small business started like that. Even a regular player could do such things, if they just organized a group of people that didn't mind minning and figuring out a pricelist.

Pets definitely need to be more useful than they are.

I like the pet idea, I've been trying to get somone to do something to pets for years now. more people would use pets. and after so long the pet could lvl and carry more stuff. This would make people actually put time into their pets. and yes if you put a cap on how many pets one could obtain, it would be a grand idea =D
