The point I make is that if you really want it, you can dig in PR without issue. Whether you have the dedication I did, to go where others won't and do things others don't, in effort to get the materials you need, that's entirely up to you. :)
Your description does not make it sound like you dig in PR "without issue." Sounds to me like lots of issues, even now that you know where things are. It also sounds to me like you spent a lot of time not leveling anything while you were doing your leveling.
You've shared your technique with me before, and I've tried it. I die every time -- without getting anything. If the KP don't get me, the Vorax or 'pestas do. As I said earlier to Aeralin, I admire your ability, I just don't seem to be able to replicate the technique. I suspect that means that you have inadvertently left something out, something that seems "only natural" to you, so it isn't part of the "technique". Perhaps someday when I have exhausted other skills that I want to level, I'll try again. In the meantime I miss the beauty of Underspring and Abyss pre-KP.

I believe i speak for the 20 people who believe they should be left alone, that you should learn to kill them, or don't go into PR. :D
Erm... I think that's a little unfair, Lili. You didn't kill them while you were solo leveling. Killing them, in fact, only causes them to instantly respawn, so it's counter-productive. I know how to kill them. It involves multiple high level people in a team and It doesn't help. Note that of the seven of us who didn't vote to "keep them as is", none of us voted to abolish them totally.

P.S. -- I would like to point out to folk that you can see who voted for which option just by hovering your mouse over the poll. This seems to be an option, since I haven't seen it in other polls.
