I realize this is kind of a silly request, but... is there any chance that the tavern, teashop, and maybe the temple in Undershard could be flagged as no-critter areas? They're neat little places that might be nice to hang out now and then, but the constant flood of mobs makes that difficult. Plus from an IC POV it seems like the people that ostensibly "live" down there might not be constantly picking fights in the few businesses that do exist there. The hunting areas are big enough that I don't think losing those rooms would really be a huge loss.
