I think by making Minoc unguarded, you're adding a serious handicap to new players. Some players need a plce to pick themselves up, and mining is how 80% of them start. I think a bonus for mining in ungrded or and handicap for mining in a guarded mine should be applied.
In order to encourage players to mine outside (as this has been discussed in another topic), one possibilty could be that only unrare (verite and under) can be mined in guarded mines. Another one is to set a limit on how much ore can be dug up in guarded mines (like maybe only 1 or 2 instead of 3-4).
Making Minoc unguarded in my oppinion, will fix nothing, just add to the problem.
Also to fix affordablility in the getgo, maybe start players off with 1k, which would be enough for a horse and some gear, so they can at least start hunting in the newb dungeon. 1k also isnt enough for someone to abuse it by starting new chars over and over again.
Somethine somewhat unreleated which occured to me, is the afk macroing in cities. It doesnt take much to raise 30k for a small house. Maybe AFK macroing should only be allowed within the walls of a player house (it would also make RP sense, the player is "Sleeping"). That way the city would be more free of AFKers, and those who are there actually have a purpose. Let me know what you think
