But you could.. and everyone was mining there, made loads of ingots that way.. plus there are minoc mine still, so mining is obviously safe, u dont even need to enter/leave the mine, u can recall there and from there:/

Yea, but have you seen Minoc mine? It's big enough for 1 person. If you add more than 1 person, it gets stripped because a couple people remove it faster than it respawns.

And who cares about Wind? That mine has been closed for more than a month (right around the time everyone left... HMMMMM).

The point is, there is no where where more than 1 person can mine that is safe.
