Logged in to do the thing. I typically check the hof list when I start mining b/c if there's a tower on the list I mine more conservatively.
Noticed there was a 21k tower. A HUGE congrats to knife party . I had actually just done a vault run with him, so I knew him. He had only been mining for a few days, noob equipment, no skills; he was in AU, and I warned him that was an expensive way to get his feet wet mining. Holy shit was I wrong, lol.
I don't want to detract from his achievement by venting, but this does paint a very clear picture of how the game's mechanics work. It's dumb luck, nothing more. I have been mining for 13 years, burned through thousands of dollars, broken hundreds of D-class in AU, FOMA, etc; never gotten more than a 1.5k hof. Turns out skills and equipment are completely irrelevant.
So take note everyone just getting started, big HOFs happen at all skill levels!
