New 4.X open field monsters will be a shorter fight.

[Shurrikhan]

Too many people don't want to be inconvenienced for them to make much of the world take time to get through. And we'll probably be able to fly in every new zone from now on so making dangerous things that you can just skip over doesn't make much sense anyway.

I think if we are ever going to have a dangerous area it would have to be a special area made just for that, probably with no flying or telepoints. But I don't know if the demand is there for them to make such a place.

All the more reason not to give unlimited flight that purposely makes irrelevant all the topographical and mob assets you spent time developing.
