I haven't an issue with this. In Treespeak, I just kite the Ixali Fencers away from the nodes they stand away long enough to mine/log. I Haven't a problem with the NMs yet... The Goblin NM has spawned out of the way for me. Besides. Ol' Bloatbelly has ALWAYS been there. Why choose now to complain about it?

I haven't tried Halatali or Iron Lake yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
