Mobs run faster than sow and have arms like Mr. Fantastic.
 

Ya, so what the fuck Rogean.

It's not just the arms. Try diagonal running away from something. You still get raped!

Do you have Dual Core issues?

It sounds like you do.

Solution:

CTRL + ALT + DELETE

go to processes,

Click, Show Processes for All Users,

Find eqgame. exe

Right click -> Set affinity

Click 1, so it's off.

Only 0 should be checked.

ya, my Pentium 4 single core is what makes mobs run faster and have a longer hit range.

Mobs do run faster, the ranger in EC had a runspeed of 2.075 and with sow I could easily run them to the tunnel for some epic fun... Currently they are at 4.5 runspeed which is double their norm.

See, even the little kids know this.

I'm going to fraps myself aoe kiting things with the "broken" runspeed and the "unfair" hitboxes and then hopefully you will all shut up and learn to adapt to the game.

tldr: get over it.

Doesn't matter if you can bard it up, the fact is the packet information for certain mobs has completely changed. If y level 1 alt with 50 sow can't run a train on EC without getting hit from 190.23 meters away then it's moot point

Oh, it's a shame the mobs hit you from far away, what with all the productive things you plan on doing with them
