Please Fix the Collision Among Walking NPCs in Protector's Enclave

In rare occasions, several walking NPCs inside Enclave would bump among one another and get stuck on a single location which I often see on the far right side of the Postal Courier near the the stairs to the Auction House.

Although it seems pretty minor, I can't help but feel pity on those poor souls that vibrate like jackhammers on their location... confused, helpless, dancing against their will.

Thank you again for the wonderful gaming experience. :D

    When I've seen this happen, which is pretty often, it's due to the NPC's getting stuck against an abandoned companion; especially wolves. Then more and more commoner NPCs arrive and get stuck together. This almost has to contribute to server load and lag.

    Oh, and I sure hope they fix the abandoned companion problems -- sometimes there's hundreds of them standing all over the place. Around the traders, the auction, the bank, the priestess, out in the middle of the enclave, and especially by the zone gates. Hundreds of them; so many when I walk around, only a fraction of them render at the same time.

    Thanks for the reply. :D Yeah, they just coagulate into a big pile of Harlem shaking NPCs and in rare occasions even blocks the entry ways in certain areas and some crucial elements within Enclave like the Postal Courier.

    I hope this gets fixed before it turns into a zombie apocalypse... well sort of.

    If they change so companions are stored automatically upon entering enclave, it would help. And being able to still bring them back out, so you can walk around with them if you want. Also, dismounting on talking to the mailman, auctioneer, bankers and certain npcs.
    TL : DR? Then don't waste my time responding.
