Mon pathing and safe areas

You can try submitting a bug report. It would help if you could find evidence that there used to be safe spots.

I remember along the wall by the crater I could fear kite with my necro and there was about 0% chance mobs would wander in to the area during the fear kite. I also remember setting up groups on top of the hill leading up to the forest giants.

Marked on uploaded map....

but I am not going to complain about wandering mobs.... I love this game!

Yeah that area you marked is one of the places I discovered.
It seems even the giant fort and underneath it isn't sacred. I saw some mob come by and path right under the giant fort.

I remember too that in skyfire there was a good place to pull to north of the OT zonein along the wall and a few hundred units to the west, and this continued right up to the north east corner where they have that structure. I haven't had a look in skyfire, but I bet that the mobs just wander everywhere on this server.

I think any evidence to back this up is anecdotal. Just about anyone who hunted in BW on live would be well aquainted with at least 1 of these spots. Of course a lot of people never bothered with the zone, which to me is part of the attraction. Anyway it would be a big job to go through and change the monster pathing for all the mobs in zone so probably not much point in pursuing it.

Gonna give it a try anyway and see how annoying the adds are in some areas. South of the crater seems about the "best" I found.
