Place the spiders in a certain spot and keep them there. Bubbles the Spider and about 10 other little spiders camp in front of the castle and you instantly die whenever you walk out. It's really annoying and should be fixed ASAP.

Traxicous

Where do you suggest we put it?

                       Head Auror/Auror



Habitual

Just away from the castle. Maybe even in the Forbidden Forest, which is more realistic anyway.

Traxicous

The forest is too small since most of its space is taken up by other mobs. You need a big area for an invasion and boss fight.

He ends up there because people try and bug abuse him; remove the bug abusers remove the problem.

Rotem

I acknowledge the problem but at the moment I can not think of a proper solution.

Moving the monster automated events is unrealistic, there's no comfortable replacement map. Any sort of monster barriers will definitely be abused by players, it'd have to be a smarter solution.

Ben

Make the little courtyard outside the castle a safe zone.

Rotem

Can't, safe zones can also be exploited.

Habitual

Put it in the quidditch area?

Justin

Quidditch Pitch is the most abusable place in the game specifically cause of how it was mapped ages ago.

Maybe mapping it differently would fix everything.

I would have remapped it if Quidditch was going to be fixed so we can play horizontally as there's really no way to make it look less boxy if we play vertically.

Not necessarily all the time. When people die and Bubbles is away from the school, people run alot. And if other players join in, Bubbles changes his sights onto them, so they would get targeted, leaving the issue at hand to where he goes near the school. I've had times where I die and he just happens to be near the area for it when I come back.

Though most of the time, when I notice the spider being way to close to where no one can kill it, I move it away from the door for everyone. Because spider is to OP near that door with its spiderlings.
