We can all agree that lapis in Z mine is super annoying and pointless. First off, having lapis in it means that the best mine (Z) has the same exact stuff as 4 mines before it (V). People get so excited "Oooh I can't wait to be in the best mine! Surely it will be unique." Then they rankup to it and realize "Wow... still the same exact stuff; there is nothing new." Lapis in Z is also pointless. For each inventory u get a stack (and sometimes not even) of lapis. All the lapis does is waste space. Please make the Z the best, one of a kind, mine by taking the unneeded lapis out. It will push people to rankup more. Thank you for reading.
I agree that Lapis is unnecessary in the Z mine. If we look at the data on how the mine ores change, there is a running pattern that after every 3 ranks, there is a change in make-up of the mine (one mineral removed and one added). Using this same system should apply to the Z mine and mean that Lapis is removed from this mine to contain only Emerald and Diamond. This would also add to the mine's "eliteness," as you point out - the last mine would be the only one with this make up.
Hey JohnMon_, Personally I think Lapis in Z mine has its ups and down. On the bright side, it allows for more variety of ores to be sold at profit shops for the rookies. Also, it follows the pattern of ores that are in each mine. Every 3 mines a new ore is introduced and is mineable throughout 12 mines. (ex. Gold arrives at J and leaves at S). This keeps a good flow throughout the mines so there is always something new. On the other hand, like you said, it does take up space in your inventory that can be used by diamonds or emeralds. Especially people who play for eco they need space to store ores when a booster is upcoming. Having just diamond and emerald can increase total profits.
Well you only get about a stack of lapis per inventory, so it doesn't affect the sellshops that much. There are plenty of players under Z mine, with lots of lapis in their mines. Also, how does not having lapis in Z ruin the new ores every 3 mines? If anything, it makes it better. For V-Z (5 mines) have all the same ores. This would help balance it out more, making only 4 mines in a row have the same things. Z is the best mine. Let's show it by just taking the extra stack of lapis out per inventory. Thanks :D
