I suspect (hope) the more frequent broken pads are just to do with the servers being so busy after the update. I'm glad to hear the admission about the mines though - always knew there was something wrong with them. This is the kind of news I, and several others, have been waiting on for a while now. It puts us at ease that the issues are recognised and are being worked on, which is good. We can all stop thinking we're going (more) crazy now. Yay!
