Oh Master, My Master

The majority of master class mobs should not be master class.

There are many master class mobs throughout Nodeka which serve as traps for the unwary newbie. Merchants in Lycaeum, the questgivers in newbie zones such as Kobolds, Orc Town, G'kir, and the general in Ruushi are all flagged as master class NPC's. My guess is that master class mobs were originally introduced (Raash and various Guildmasters) as a deterrent. At that time, there was no mechanism to prevent NPC's from being attacked, even in safe rooms, and thus it was necessary to prevent key NPCs and trainers from being attacked.

However, Nodeka now has !attack mechanisms available. San'vestra is not attackable, even though she is master class, which means her status as a master is flavor rather than protection. This is how all quest mobs should be. Why is Sajha attackable, but San'vestra not? Why are the quest npcs in kobolds attackable? Various key merchants? If these NPC's aren't meant to be attacked, they should be unattackable, not simply master class. If the game has a more precise tool, why isn't the more precise tool being used?

This is not to suggest that master class should be removed from the game. Kiskr in the citadel and the Tabernacle Curators are examples of NPC's that have good reason to be master class. (I might suggest that the volume of damage is excessive, but that's likely to be a matter of so much contention and debate that it distracts from my main point.) But quest NPC's? In memory of my many rdeaths, please just make them unattackable.
