Scenario: Casually farming in the desert. Riding back to town to deposit the materials I just gathered on my croc.
ME: Oh, a beetle. Two star, so have to take it seriously, and a few levels higher (26 vs 21), so definitely do not stop to fight!
<beetle jumps at my tail> while <my croc stubs its toe on a piece of sand and stops moving for a second in pain>
<beetle trips my mount somehow, locking me in place and taking half my health>
<beetle follows up in the next second with another hit>
<ashes plop on ground, along with 25% of my materials and ~27k xp debt)
ME: well crap, that sucks, revive and mount back up on my trusty backup so we can salvage something at least...
<arrives at beetle hunting spot and grabs ashes loot, then mounts back up as quick as possible>
<beetle jumps, trips, and smacks>
<splat...ashes again...another 25% materials lost and ~60k xp debt at this point>
ME: wtf guys... seriously?...
<mounts back up on THIRD mount...sure glad I am a packrat... and returns to scene>
<grabs ashes, leaves mount to distract beetle, and books it on foot!>
<mount dies nobly>
<beetle proceeds to follow me all the way across the desert and almost into town before it finally leashes>
<crying commenses...>
Can we adjust this system just a tad, pls?...
