I usually try not to complain. This time I'm gonna.

The whole mob thing where rich and motherlode type things are only in guarded locations and less safe areas over all. Maybe the idea was to get the bigger players to go there, where they can kill the mobs while they harvest, I don't know. In any event, it's not working. I see level 100's in the safe areas scooping up the nodes. The lower folks couldn't go up against the big mobs if they wanted to.

When asked, the folks tell me they don't want to be attacked while crafting. I agree with that! Me neither! My level 81 alt goes to Acul. Climbs into the golem pit for the dark iron motherlode. Spends all her time killing the dang things that leap her, and now she's got a pile so deep she can't see the ML to re-target it. C'mon! Then before they fade, new mobs have spawned and are attacking.
I don't call that fun. I call it annoying.
