  I couldn't agree more. I know the devs think they are adding excitement,
  but this is a pretty cheap way to do so.
  
  They did even more of this in the example. The first expansion zone has
  a Fel Reaver (tough lvl 70 mob) that patrols around. My wife plays with
  her sound off and got crushed by it many times.
  
  In EQ2, I remember getting rocked by a super powerful naked mole rat in
  a cave zone that was 5-10 times harder than everything else in there.
  Man... that was no fun.
