https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/i...et-aggro.3227/ (2013 discussion after an aggro-meter was added to Live and people realized how much hate pets were generating)
To this day people are commenting on the fact that pet aggro is insanely huge. (theres 10 pages of discussion of tanks bitching pets stealing aggro). The discussion in this thread kinda puts to bed the rule of 4 stuff. At least, the rule of 4 no longer exists (or doesn't exist in new content).
Couple gems:

Yes, there's a reason...pets are used in more than just raid situations, and they actually need to hold aggro in some of those situations while players nuke from range. Can you imagine how well a mage would solo without a pet that could hold aggro over his nukes?

Pets follow different agro rules than PC's, so basically no, a warrior will never out-agro a pet, even if they are top agro.

It's funny bc pet aggro hasn't changed. It's just you can see it now.
How did we deal with this in the past? No1 brought it up and only pet classes knew the aggro issues.
Been in-game for quite some time, need to get over it by now.

As for aggro. We will continue to monitor pet aggro, but generally they are doing what they should for the sake of solo pet class play. This does lead to excessive aggro in group and raid play. As people have mentioned in this thread, there are ways that the pet user can deal with this aggro as they need.

This one is a developer response.
