We used to be safe from PvP attacks in water. That was changed, and now animals apparently don't attack in water, that will change. There was a time animals were stuck on granite, I had a huge (and I mean huge) herd of rabid angry squirrels stuck on a 2 meter by 2 meter patch of granite at one point. That was fixed, just as the water thing going on now will be.
DDT, no offense meant (this time :) ) but when you tell people they don't understand what they're talking about, or clearly aren't reading the posts, or their english must suck... it's abrasive and does objectively appear as a personal attack. It may not be meant that way, I'm just saying that's the way you come across at times. Just fyi.
To the people who like to just say Z is a troll, and at times have nothing more to add to the conversation, please stop. Such action is actually trolling in itself and isn't going to lead anywhere good, any time. The guides see fit to let you continue, and they must have their reasons, but no conscientious adult appreciates the behavior. As I said, please stop.
Back to topic, one thing I really wanted to see for a long time is the ability to get away from animals. I don't know if that's the case right now, but it used to be that animals would never stop chasing clear across many zones.
I don't say that because I don't want to die, I can kill them. The point is that sometimes it's best to leave the animal alive to grow into a greater challenge or spawn more of its kind.
Far as traps, I don't think it would be too difficult to have qualities and style of traps effective in accordance with the strength and ferocity of the animal in question. Even a mammoth can be trapped, but it takes a lot of work to build the trap, and cunning to lead the animal into it. It's a group effort that yields great reward at great risk.
