The two biggest problems I see with the coming update are 1.) how it will effect ironmen, who have little to no impact on the games economy in this regard and 2.) how people's view and engagement with the mining and smithing rework will be effected.
Problem:
When it comes to ironmen, there are a decent amount of activities we do that already involve being active or semi AFK and with the mining and smithing rework, mining was removed from that list and allowed us to train both mining and smithing together with the choice of being either AFK or active. Changing this removes the only way ironmen can get ore while being AFK, as stone spirits are hard to come by in abundance. There are also a lot of main accounts that train both skills together, which is the intended result of the skills being reworked at the same time. The concept of getting free money while just being able to click on the screen once every 5 minutes is a problem, however, so I believe we should do a combination of two things.
Solution:
I suggest that there should be two different types of mining nodes, one that produces the current ore in the game, and one that produces untradable ore that cannot be sold, dropped or traded. These nodes could be located in the same area as each other or could be separated to better distinguish where a player should go depending on what they want to mine for, gold or materials. The new ore would have no changes made to them, meaning they can be AFK mined at the same rate in which ore is currently mined, and the changes being implemented could be implemented on the old tradable ore. This change would cause value to increase on all ore prices while allowing people that want to gather their own ore a way to do it any way they like.
When it comes to the changes on disassembling armor/weapon, not many changes should be made besides the changes that are set to be implemented in game already.
Thanks for listening
