Why the hell would anyone argue for this?

I remember people who used to purposely delevel just to avoid this. It's a stupid ability in the first place, the last thing I want is for it to actually work. It's gimmicky and shouldn't exist in the first place. The monster should have been given a worthwhile ability, instead of one that can be avoided by being a certain level.

Really, one of the first things i thought when I heard about lv99 is "sweet, no more lv5 petrify!"
