This is insulting to DoL.

Checked with the devs about there being NMs and other high-level enemies near gathering points for certain levequests such as those found in "Mining Treespeak." Gathering point, and monster placement adjustments will both take place soon. We will also be making adjustments to some of the Halatali and Camp Iron Lake levequests where there exist similar problems.

Nanawa Mines DOW/DOM leves are troublesome too, similar scenario.
