I agree with Soloreaper in that right now it is essentially impossible for me to level PR dig. The consistent DP will mean that I never get any xp.
Oh, I suppose I could dig mission mats near a Kara tp, but that's useless in terms of real crafting, or exploring to find good mats. It's not just difficult to get to good spots, in many cases it's impossible to get there and get any digging done in the areas that have KP. There's plenty of other aggro to dodge, but the KP have such a long aggro range and long pursuit range that for a solo person, they are pure dp on the hoof unless you leave whenever they get within 100m (if then), and that in itself removes any incentive to dig there, since they come by so frequently.
It would appear that there are many who like the status quo just fine. I used to like to go to PR and just sit and enjoy it in the spots that weren't covered by jugs and tyrancha and 'pukas and kinchers and all the other aggro. Haven't been able to do that since the KP were put 'back'.
How about having them change routes after respawn so that they don't charge down on you again and again in the same location. Put the routes on a long-term random variation so that we can't clear them all out for days on end, but not have instant replay. I think reducing the aggro range from the current 75m (or so) to 50m (or so) would also help. Still longer than any other mob, but not so horrific.
