ALL THREE places are "open"ish (the copy and pasted circular points with a tree in the center) areas that include 2-3 R40 Buzzards and 2 R44-46 Black Efts (that share a spawn with a R45 Vulturetrap). So in this particular example, my request would be to not put this node in the middle of efts mostly because their aggro radius is broken. And they are hard to solo even near 50.



    I don't particularly recall them moving any NMs, at least none of the ones I've fought although I could understand if some of them were moved. *cough*DaddyLonglegs*cough*.

    EDIT: I stand corrected, I'm fairly certain they moved Mosshorn's spawn because he was a <insert language would that would be censored>

    I don't know if they so much moved the guildleves either, just gave the leve more potential locations.
    I realize that. my point is moving the node or moving mobs around is too much work for SE. The stealth thing is like saying it takes too long for them to actually fix the problem. They are going to move mobs around again soon so just moving a node is a temporary solution. Gatherers get -really- screwed because you always get the same 2 leves, so they gave them stealth. DoW/DoM get 3 out of 6+ leves in each area and can actually kill the mobs. I realize its unfair but my point is i think its too difficult for SE to actually fix it. Again. if they fix it now, next time they shuffle mobs around they have to fix it again.

    Ah, yeah. I understand where you're coming from and I agree with that. I figure when/if they redo zones it will require leves to be entirely recoded which at the current point would be terribly annoying. (Probably why they are pushing leves to the side and adding new ways of EXP. Not only gives the players some variety but avoids the inevitable mountain of recoding when the zones get modified.) DoL do get screwed vigoriously so I think its a good temp fix for them, and 99% of DoM/DoW leves are fine as they are now. There's just still those small handful that make me want to ragequit. And hopefully 1.19+ will see a little tlc given to those neglected leves.
