Couldn't agree more. I've suggested many times that the lands are all too barren, I think most areas should have huge random spawns that can spontaneously occur. I would also LOVE it if they made it so that more opposing groups (like Ophidians/Terrathans) fight each other. Imagine two huge spawns of each fighting in the middle and you could get right in the middle of the action, pick a side or obliterate all, with fast/near instant respawn timers. I think they also need to remove ALL anti-class coding from the game... meaning things that can't be Provoked/Peaced/Discorded/killed by pets/HLL, it's purely lazy on their part not to code things to be more difficult without completely discriminating a class. For example corrupted life leech, get rid of it, but make those monsters hit Blood Oath frequently. No Provoke, get rid of it but make those encounters spawn 5x the spawn. If I've invested skill points in a hunting template and have the player skill to deal with workable mechanics why the f can't I use them?! Just as it's also lazy of them to throw in new items any time they update anything. Make the loot better and the gold higher, possibly get rid of gold altogether and have it so you don't have a limit, have some item that automatically cashes it to your bank. Or do they think the Bag Of Sending ant quests are still relevant?
There's a few work arounds like Wraith/Ninja Forms. (But still agree with the main point anti coding is stupid.)
Semidar is pretty easy if you can maintan the polymorph spell
