After Velious was released I remember a patch that gave mage pets an extremely high amount of aggro. I was grouped in KC after that patch and nobody could pull the mobs off my pet no matter what they did. They quickly fixed that bug bringing them back to where they should have been as pets were hyper-aggro machines. Here are the notes, very first bug fix at the top:

After the fix aggro went back to an acceptable level, what we have on p99 is nowhere near that. Devs throw us a bone here please, at least an acknowledgement.
