It is annoying I agree. Unfortunately, EQ never put in any kind of code to combat this. Best thing to do is get into a group and stick to a known camp. Against camp rules for the high level player to take any mobs out of your camp. But if you are wanting to solo in outdoor zones and fight animals, then unfortunately if a powerleveler shows up, currently there is no known server rules against them rounding up everything.
I would change two things on the server if I could. First thing is if a mob is trivial, I would make it so the mob flees instead of follows. Second thing, if the mob is not trivial, I would limit how many can follow. Or change how Bard aoe songs work, like if you are running away, they do no damage. But, the "shit's classic" crowd will cry a river, so change will not happen here.
