Mining through wall

Yesterday i noticed something strange, a person who was mining through the wall of his house. It seems strange to me so i reported him because he seemed to do it afk (unattended). The GM told me that as long as he is not doing it afk it's ok. So what, mining through a wall isn't a bug?

Aham it's a policy of the shard if i got it right? As long as it's EA it's stays the same. I thought it's only about game mechanics and stuff not absurdish things like digging through a wall.. I recall seeing things that are NEA, and they were made for certain reasons (make game better probably). Just wondering why is 1 thing NEA for good, and 1 (such as digging like a ghost) is left 'cause it's EA?

The accurate mechanic is no line of sight checks on mining, which applies to more than just digging from inside houses.
Not sure what you mean by digging like a ghost; but it is not allowed to mine unattended whether from within a house or not.
Thank you for reporting this in-game, it is important to report anyone who seems to be gather resources unattended.

Well there we go, I guess we better fix that. Thanks Faust. I didn't realize that change was made that early.

I had no idea this was possible on here. I tend to think of this old feature more so of a pre-t2a addition. I would have been doing it for sure but was under the impression it wasn't possible. Oh, well.
