defeating guards without mining the mine
There are several players at Exocraft who are destroying guards without mining the mine.
This is very annoying cause at the spot they leave the mine no new mine will appear. This leaves a world with worthless mines scattered around and it's tough to find good mines to mine.
l would like too see you make it so if a player defeats the guards but not mines the mine this mine will disappear. l understand that for the "do 30 mines with a team" bounty challenge we need to be able to mine together but it's not necessary to have mines without guards everywhere. Therefor l would suggest if a player defeats the guards the mine will stay open to mine for 1 minute but after that it will disappear. l think a lot of us will be happy if the world doesn't have all these mines without guards

Maybe an option should be this;
if someone kills the guards and leaves the mine for someone else to get for a team bonus, then if no one comes through in 15 to 30 minutes and a new guard/s could grow back and the team bonus is gone.
How does that sound?? -
I have to admit that I have definitely left mines guardless to make sure I can meet the bounty requirements. But I thought we all have the same bounty challenge, so that would help two people meet the requirements without having to be on at the same time. Soooo, sorry everyone. I wish there was another way to make that challenge easier or actually achievable. I prefer the attending multiple team races, winning team races and reaching a certain amount of points during team races.

As one of the players that actually does this, I do it entirely because of the team bounty. It is nearly impossible to get someone on the fly to take stuff out with you with the way things are set up, so it is much easier to leave the mines after taking the guardians, especially when at high levels you have to do an exorbitant amount of mines while the lower level players will just leave after their bounties are satisfied.
When you see just the mine, take it out. You'll be helping others in the process.

l think l have a better solution.
Make the mine only visible for the player that defeats all guards. In other words, If you defeat all guards by yourself you are the only player that can see that mine from there on.Good for players who like to kill guards first and come back for mine later

I agree that these mines become very annoying - especially when there are ship wrecks required for daily bounty -- Looking for ship wrecks can become frustrating - but even more so when you keep going to these abandoned mine locations.
A good deterrent to this practice would be that any mine that is stripped of all guardians should auto destroy or disappear after 90 seconds without leaving any crystal or gem award. I recommend ninety seconds as you may be working on two clusters close enough together that a minute may not be sufficient time

I have to agree that something needs done. I was complaining long and hard about this last night .. the game is so basic ...so simple ... kill the guards, then bust the mine ...people that cannot grasp this simple process need to be penalized in some fashion... and i have been saying this since the game started.
