Give underwater NPCs breathers
Agreed. Its pretty jarring that your character and other players are the only ones using them. And depending on how Anet handles NPC gear, possibly not that hard to change.
While we’re on the subject of NPCs doing things players do… can we make NPCs run like players do, especially Charr? Its wierd when my Charr is running alongside a group of NPCs and they’re all “fast-walking” on 2 legs while my Charr is running on all fours.
