The easiest way to remedy this would be to remove the extremely annoying/useless auto-engage feature from avatars that people have complained about since the days of CoP. The only time it's useful is when you want to kite a mob with an avatar to save a few seconds/yalms by not having to hit assault. But I can't really think of a situation where you'd want to do this these days. That said I'm sure SE will just do something like make the chigoe not give EXP and therefore not drop geodes, simultaneously killing off a good vermin trial camp.

On the other hand I have not actually seen anyone doing this, so maybe it's server specific? Still, I've been told I'm not very observant.
