Plus if it's a location where adds are an issue, you make it more difficult for the main fighting party to tab around quickly. So no, they're not being harmless.

People that think a better computer will magically make the game run better should invest that money in a new brain; theirs' is obviously glitched. This game runs on a Dell Dimension 4000 series with stock parts.
