Great change in TT for ring events, could it get applied to PoA too?

<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#ffcc00>*** Zones and Population ****</FONT></STRONG> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Pets should now be able to once again attack Chieftain Merzog in Fallen Gate if he hasn't moved from the spot he initially appears.<BR>- A number of mobs associated with dynamic camps (ring events) in Tenebrous Tangle have been made uncharmable to prevent certain situations that may break the events.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>----------------------------------</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is a great change - I hope it can also be applied to the ring events in Palace of the Awakened, specifically the Ironfang event, which gets charmed/disrupted quite often unfortunately, making it difficult for people who need to kill Ironfang to progress the claymore line.  Thank you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Rorrak</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>While you're at it, would you also do the orc ring event in The Ruins.  Thank you.</DIV>

Hey, while you're at it, just make all the mobs in the game uncharmable.  Much easier to know which mobs I can charm and can't if none of them are.<div></div>

There are -several- ring events which are affected and don't respawn at all if one of them is charmed.  The caves in Sinking Sands under the Eye of Anuk should also be added to that list.<div></div>

Sounds fun to you?  This is what this is about, right?  A game in which to have fun. <div></div>
