There's a spinagon that now loads in an area that utilizes a very well travelled road in the game. It's a main thoroughfare, with low levels walking it frequently, and I've mentioned this spinagon several times to staff as a danger, since it's much too high for low levels to handle.
I don't mind if it stays, but If it's not going to be removed, can we at least have the bleeder proc added to it? At least that way it would be dangerous and useful... and scary!

I wrote the new road south of WD. I put the spinagon there on purpose. It doesn't load all the time, and it only ends up on the road about half the time it loads. It also does not repop if killed. The spinagon will make much more sense once another Homeland zone is ported over. Also I'm a firm believer that no road should be 100% safe.
That being said, I realize that it sucks when newbies die. But they shouldn't expect that anything other than a good race hometown is safe all of the time. This particular scenario also gives higher level players a chance to be a 'hero' of sorts and slay the nasty beasts to save the lower level players from a gruesome death.
I'm not particularly sure that this mob needs to have a bleed proc. It's plenty nasty enough?

Don't complain when noobs are afraid to explore, then.
Sure, they "should" group up and explore in groups, but how much encouragement is there for them to do that? Also, maybe this is supposed to be a "grouping" mud, but nobody likes to feel completely helpless and at the mercy of the mobs while solo, either.

Rather than seeing "subpar race/class," see "challenge."

Well it's not like I typically complain about things being too tough, but a while back Toril went through a phase where a lot of the noob danger was removed or diminished.
The only reason I'd suggest a bleed proc on it is because we'd finally have a non-BC/MD/dragon method of practicing bandage which isn't totally ludicrous (good and neutral aligned characters torturing some poor soul almost to death, bandaging them back to health, torturing to the brink of death again, repeat ad nauseum).

I'm not sure we're looking at this right. It could teach them to be spineless, or it could just teach them that death is an everyday occurrance here. While I have no idea as to the proportions encouraged, the latter attitude is quite fitting for future zoners.

If you read more closely, you would see that I was agreeing that people *should* be more brave and take more risks. The thing is, I have a problem with people (not talking about anyone specific) who intentionally (almost seemingly callously) make it harder and then look down on people for being more afraid to act and take risks. It's almost like "Hi noobs, you're worthless if you don't travel that road and risk near certain death like a good player should be ready to do at the drop of a hat."

Ah, okay.
The parallels to real life are astounding.
