This is part of the bigger issue at hand in my opinion. The fact that you have to actively stalk the LTCs (depending on your definition of LTC, since it seems Zora & co have been chucked into that as well) to have any chance of meeting them, since I have never in all my years seen a single LTC outside of bars/clubs or in the odd event here and there (most of them in obscure places for that matter)
As a new player you have little or no chance of meeting one since they do not seem to frequent start-up areas.
