What I think would be really fun would be if they were instanced. Mabe the npcs could attack and you the player just heal them and use doh/dol to aid in other ways. Maybe dol can gather invisible items from small pots and kite mobs fr 30 minutes non stop while crafters can craft the same item over and over again and turn them into an npc. Man this is starting to sound really exciting, they should def do this.
