Holy crud. Here's one "strategy" that isn't working.

And while that will work in the short term, it really, really messes up a map in a long term. It's common sense that there will be more monsters on the edge of maps since nobody's killing them there, but they're still respawning there. And since the number of monsters stays constant there will be less in the middle.
Example: I'm training in Highridge Mines Chasm. Here there are no monsters whatsoever, only 2 or 3 here and there even on the outer edge. Absolutely nothing, in the entire map, until I get to the upper right corner. And there, in the 5 spaces in the corner, I estimate half the monsters in the entire area are packed. I step on one square, kill 8 monsters with the SS2 add-on (and I do kill all 8, my credit count goes up for each), go back, and 8 monsters again. So I 12345678 again. And there are still 8 monsters. And I do this two more times until my equipment is too broken to continue. And every single square is the same.
I encourage any player training in this area to go to the square I'm talking about (just right of the augmenter) and get rid of them, and make the Chasm less annoying to train in. Clearing out clusters of mobs clearly helps. I've seen this a ton on FallenSword too, if you clean out a large group of them you'll start seeing 2 or 3 on every square, inside and out. I can't even clean out a single square of this mess without having to go repair...is it really this messed up?
Why does anybody hunt like that? It's only logic that it will break eventually. If you and the rest of the community only hunt in 1/2 the map, then the amount of mobs there will slowly dwindle. First they're split 50/50, 50 in the inside, 50 on the edge, then when you kill the close ones the balance becomes 0/50, and when the respawn evenly, half of the 50 dead in the inside and the other half on the edge, it becomes 25/75. And past that it will become 12/88, then 6/94, then 3/97...until you have none at all.
How can it be that a strategy that benefits any one person (since I lose about 50 stamina per trip going to the edge, it was clearly better to stay in the center) screws over the entire community? Do you hunt like this?

Well you could move on up to the lvl 39 area where the players out number the mobs 3-1 even in the corners. :mrgreen:
