I'm going to vote make them optional. That way people who dont want to rebattle the npcs dont have to. I personally like rebattling npcs though. Optional is like a win win.
After years of lurking, on the sidelines, due to no computer I finally am able to make the return, I've been meaning to do.
Hopefully this time my computer works, and I can stick around like I used to. Hope to see everyone new and old alike, around.
