Greetings!
I have tried Kith too and agree with the exp/hour ratio. The pull is either
too damaging to the party, meaning downtime during the night, or too easy
with poor exp. It seemed during the night we would fight against 2 rotting
knights and the be wasted for most of the rest. Then ready to fight and
it's morning with nothing but a few easy kills hanging around. BTW, Rotting
Knights disappeared when low on exp twice for us too. Just vanished. They
were on tracking but in a wall. So mind pulling toward Rivervale. When
they get low health and run, don't let em! I know I know...what about
chains? Resisted or bad luck on missed notes. Just a tidbit of info so you
don't have your RK disappear too!

P.S. Disagreements are welcome! Maybe it is a personal thing, but I don't
care to hunt in Kith yet (still lvl 35).
