That's how Dain Frostreaver worked, in probably early Luclin, on eqlive, with 6 mage pets attacking him. That's it. I don't have some type of agenda with it, and went as far as to say I didn't want to convolute the process. Could have been because he's a raid npc, because of the rule of 4, or who knows what. I posted it fwiw.
I don't believe you have an agenda or anything. I just felt you might be remembering wrong or recalling certain, specific incidences as the way pet aggro worked in general. What Bartly posted makes sense. It would explain both why your 6-man mage crew had threat issues and why I rarely seemed to encounter any since I was usually solo or in a group of under 4 people. I didn't see issues in normal experience groups either since pet tanking was rarely needed, so that could explain why I never noticed such a mechanic.

Also, it was too late at night for me to put two and two together to figure out what that acronym stood for.
