I swear every single year this same post. At least the 10th time. Stop killing what you think is the placeholder and kill them all. It is not broken.

I would ask why don't you help update community guides, but then that would get in the way of you complaining.

Thanks, I guess

Well it's not a bug. these NMs haven't been touched since they were implemented. People just aren't doing it correctly.

If other things change like NPCs or monsters elsewhere in the area are added or removed, the placeholder might no longer be in the same place in the list and so you can't treat information like that as gospel.
