Digging dirt should rarely, if ever, grant exp.  It's just too soft, right now a novice miner can dig through it like, well, soft butter (you there, yes you, grab that shovel and dig me a hole!

Something this neglects to consider is that removing material is only half of mining. The other half, which may actually be harder with soft/loose material, is making sure the surrounding material doesn't refill your freshly dug hole. A pit dug straight down isn't so much of a problem, but a tunnel, on the other hand, presents more difficulty, even in dirt.

Yeah, I think this justifies dirt mining XP

Yes they are a bunch of drunken unstable retards, but they're MY drunken unstable retards, and I will take care of them.

It could be worse, that cat could be alive.

Shouldn't be so fast then. Or give less XP. One or the other...

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.
