The Bigfoot scoffers and skeptics always ask well... How is it possible such a large animal can hide with 6 billion people roaming the earth, and with all the modern technology... Airplanes, Helicopters, Satellites... Well, it is the same reason why it is very hard to find the rich gold veins that the old timers missed. And it might even be the same reason why it takes us so long to hit a hof or a global.
You see... Consider the world in which we live. Most of it is inhospitable to humans. A large portion of that which man does travel, is only infrequently traveled and sparsely inhabited. Much of this portion of the world is covered by timber, brush and other natural formations. There will always be rich mineral deposits left to be found simply because if there is a billion dollars in gold sitting 15 feet below where you stand, you would not know it, and it would take a lot of money to simply drill a hole to see whats there. In many cases, there is no outward sign that anything valuable is present, except where a prospector has a hunch and takes a chance.
The sheer size of our world, and the amount of crap that keeps us from seeing what is there is why so much of it is left hidden and undiscovered. It is why mysteries abound in a technologically advanced civilization.
So... When you consider that the Hof and ATH is about as hard to find as a Bigfoot or a world class gold deposit, look at the sheer size of Entropia. Being in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing while in that right place, all come together to give you your results. Hoffing is not simply a matter of buying it. I've tried to buy hofs, I can't even buy a global. It doesn't work that way. If you keep doing what you are doing, eventually you will hit the right RNG sequence and it will crap out a golden egg. That's all. But if you know what you should be doing and where you should be doing it, your losses will be reduced and your chances increased.
Consider there are thousands of areas you could try mining or hunting in EU. Many dozens of mobs to choose from. Once you do decide on what and where to hunt, you then have the decide as you go decision of which mobs in this group do I shoot. I hear plenty of reports from hunters who were done, but before they could leave the area they were attacked, defended themselves and globalled or hoffed.
The point I am trying to convey is a bit complicated and some of you might not understand what I'm saying... But I cannot simplify it any more than I have. It is simply a large game, and things that are rare are easily well hidden for those who know where to look.

MINERS HEAVEN Land Area RUINED for mining!
Well... There is a Land Area that I always forget the number but numbers aren't important. We all know it as Miners Heaven, and it is north of Z's little farm. This has been a favorite globalling ground of mine for half a year. No longer is this the case.
I thought I'd go and try a run there, and wow, I tp jumped and landed on Armax Bulls. Then I read the message window for entering the land area, and it says something along of the lines "Low agro mob coming soon." Maybe for some of you they don't agro. For me they do. Not only that, I could not find a spot in the whole LA where there was one blast radius clear of mobs that I could safely mine. If I have to defensively mine, it lowers my overall return because my hunting loot is always much worse than my mining loot. And right now even that is about 10% of total spend if I am lucky. Mining is just a bad activity for whatever reason right now. Not saying some of you won't get lucky. If most people are running with amps now, I would suspect that most of the loot pool has shifted to paying off those amped miners.
It is with great sorrow that I make this announcement. I would like to petition the land owner to at least consider thinning out the mob density. I am now forced to mine in other more friendly land areas. Even the land area south west of Akmuul TP is more miner friendly, because there is a large gap usually between the trox and I can mine safely there most of the time.
Perhaps they will see that their hunting taxes have not offset the losses in mining revenue and make the necessary adjustments.
