It's a lot worse than the Iron Lake kobolds, by far. There's a mining node for "Mining Treespeak" that's trapped directly behind an Ixali (rank 48-ish) encampment. There is no way to access it other than running directly through at least half a dozen Ixali (no matter how you try to approach it), and the node is within their territory so they will not deaggro you. Even if you have a rank 50 combat class to switch to and dispose of the Ixali (you need to kill at least 5 of them), there's nowhere safe to stand to tap the node without being interrupted by a respawn (they respawn very fast).
