This dude is a boss

Sadly, completely wrong. Again find me one druid post or one druid kiting guide warning against this unclassic behavior.

It’s evidence that’s needed for changes, otherwise things are kept as is.

Memory is very failable so it is not taken as evidence.

Go find some evidence and you can help your case. Otherwise, nothing is going to change.

Back in classic a green would attack you even if you were lvl 50 in qeynos newbie field and it was just a gnoll pup (if you are sitting).

Sit aggro does seem a bit too high on the P99 servers. Sometimes it seems like no matter how much threat the tank has built up the mob will beeline to anyone who sits down....

I'm confused as to why you created a thread in "Green Discussion", and then, without anyone corroborating with you, and without providing any in era evidence, you decided to then create a bug report.

Still no one seems to agree with you, so unless you have some sort of evidence...

Hey, why don't you try reading? There are several issues I brought up in 2 different threads. Other people remember the same in that other thread. this thread is a different issue, and is obviously filled by people who did not play kiting classes in EQ. Every druid who got to 50+ in classic kiting would tell you this is wrong. Find me any druids complaining about picking up adds when doing med-kiting because of this bizarre aggro behavior or any kiting guides warning you about this happening, which is what 90% of druids did who weren't quad kiting. Med kiting is where you run and meditate between ticks.

Sitting will agro any KoS/ social faction mobs your fleeing mob passes. It's how I pull in low level dungeons. Beat one to near death, sit, wait.

It was actually worse than that. Back on Brell Serilis retail classic playing a magician, if I sent my pet to attack a target and there were one or 2 more enemies just standing near it, all 3 would attack my pet if I was standing. The one or two extra enemies that were not engaged by the pet would instantly charge me if I sat down.

In addition, if I sent the pet at one of a group of 3 enemies and I sat down before the pet would reach them, what would happen is all 3 would charge me instantly with the initial target of the pet being intercepted by the blob and staying to fight it, while the other 2 rushed by to stomp me. On P1999, none of this happens. You can send your pet in on 3 targets and sit down and by some miracle, all 3 stay on the pet until you do something to generate additional aggro.
