Well something has changed lately. Green Pumas in EC attack me while sitting at like level 10 at times. That started in the last few months.

AS mentioned, this was an intentional change to align the server with how the situation was on live back in the classic era. I think the key is that green con humanoid mobs will agro. Others will not.
The mob fleeing at 20% at a higher rate of speed was also put in place several months ago. This is also in keeping with the situation on live. The initial run speed for fleeing mobs was inaccurate (it was VERY fast). Snare was almost always needed in zones like LGuk and SolA on live. Root was okay but it would break often when mobs were getting hit so we preferred snare. Snare also prevented fleeing mobs from fighting whereas a fleeing rooted mob will still fight.
One thing which I have noticed that isn't really in place here (related to this discussion) is the effect of having a similar mob type in proximity when a mob wishes to flee. Mobs would not run when others of their social type were nearby. One tactic was to fight a mob close to another mob but out of agro range. This would effectively rot the mob (called it social root) as it would not flee at low health. (at least, this is how I remember it).

I agree that the green agro is very annoying. I could live without it but it is what it is so we just need to adjust our tactics accordingly.

you know people can always invis down LOL

The way I remember it is anything that was KoS to you attacked you when you sat down. That is working as intended.

That's a valid tactic for getting to a location in a dungeon with green agro mobs. The issue happens when you drop invis to fight something and then it takes off at 20% health telling all of the green agro buddies along his path that there's a party at your carcass. This is worsened by the questionable pathing to get to you.. So, that one or two green mobs turns into a pile on of epic proportions. :-)

SolA shamans see invis iirc.
