Frankly I wouldn't want it "dealt with". Playing the game should be about more than levelling up. Whoever says killing x thousand stalkers is anything but a grind is simple in the head.
I don't play commando, and I never will, because at the low level mine is at it's useless on the higher difficulties I'm used to playing on. The only way to get it to a useful stage is grinding, which I'm not prepared to do.
A pity, because I'd like to try it out and not be a waste of space on the server. If I ever come across a stalker-only server I will be suffering no pangs of guilt whatsoever...
