Game Mechanics: Sit agro not working properly

[CupcakeValkyrie]

Currently, sitting itself generates too much agro.

Originally, in classic, sitting down would do two things:

1. Effectively makes you level 1 with regards to agro radius and mob willingness to attack you.

2. Modify your existing hate towards any mobs that currently have you on their hate list.

However, on P99, I've seen mobs that I've already inflicted damage on leave melee with me to go punch a sitting caster that hadn't even done anything to them yet. That's not classic at all. While casters did have to be wary of sitting after casting spells that anger mobs in classic, the act of sitting itself didn't generate that much agro if the mob was already engaged with someone. The only time mobs went on a caster-punching frenzy was if the puller pulled the mob back to the camp with body agro, thus generating very little initial hate, and even then only mobs with "frenzy" style agro (undead, primarily) tended to do this.

It seems like on P99, sitting is coded to generate agro instead of simply modifying existing agro as it did in classic.
