Decrease respawn time of diamond veins

It's stupid that 1 guy can mine all diamond veins as they spawn (midnight server time?). The time it takes for the diamond veins to regenerate should be greatly increased or atleast let it regenerate at a random interval IMO. There are only a few GM miners atm but in one week, 95% of all GM's won't get their daily sard at this rate. Not to mention how are Warrior's supposed to craft Red Prayers when there is such a huge demand of diamonds?

i hv to agree with this. i dont mind getting 15 diamonds for a sard, but it's hard to do that when all the diamond spots are always empty. Yesterday it took me 5 sard pits to get the right amount of diamonds for the sard quest, but there arent any other pits left for other ppl to do those quests after that.

Or daily quests should award 1-2 diamonds next to the crits. Hell, I'd rather just get 2 diamonds than 1million crits.

............. how do I make red prayers if everyone (including non-warriors) will be mining up the diamonds for those quests just to get a sard? How is this fair compared to tailor when man scorps are unlimited and as many last item rares can be made a day as people want?

suggestion1: every time someone turns in the GM quest to get a sard, make a trigger to respawn the diamond spots. That way the diamonds used for the quest won't affect the diamonds mined to make rares.
suggestion2: change the quest to asking for 5 of each type of gem (not including diamond). That would prove your skill as a miner without hording any single gem.

Any input from the GM squad on this?

I have complained to GMSP about this

I also personally find this to be something that needs to be fixed. As there are other bug issues to be dealt with, I won't push it too much but at some point I will push this case further.

It's way more severe than a lot of people think, it will put miners and blacksmiths(if dailies were working

) way behind on other jobs. I was lucky enough to find 2 'full' diamond spots yet I was only able to acquire 2 diamonds. At this rate i get 2 sards every 5 days and I cannot even save materials for making red prayers. What will people do who are less lucky?
I'd really like to see 1-2 diamonds being given for the daily mining quests, just enough to cover the daily sard quest.

not just mining tough. if cutting and herb digging is the same way, the same actions should be applie. Only exception is butcher because monsters as infinite.

just make unlimited deposits, it already takes a long time to actually gather all the minerals needed, and butchering has their supply only difference is they go to a direct source for theirs and have to kill and butcher but get what they want 100% of the time
