on sunday it was broken. on monday the hotfix just made things more classic'er... yes sitting was a bitch back in the day you couldn't sit under a mob and expect it not to thwap you once.
all that said aggro through walls is problematic but is perhaps a separate problem than the amount of aggro sit gives?

I never recall mobs ignoring all the aggro that has been generated by the tank and go smacking a sitting caster just because he is sitting in classic. Yes - it was dangerous to sit as it added a significant portion of 'bonus' aggro, but this was added to all the damage through spells and actual aggro you already had - NOT proxy aggro. The bonus to proxy aggro was minimal enough that a taunt or any other form of damage would prioritise that cause as the top of the hate list. You WOULD get hit if the mob is getting proxy-pulled, because everyone at that moment is on proxy aggro - but you are sitting so you have more, but not when damage has been done to the mob, or the mob has been taunted etc. You WOULD draw a good chunk of aggro for sitting after dealing damage or debuffing etc. but that is not the problem here. There's been countless proof of this mentioned repeatedly in this thread, along with EQ's developers' quotes. I don't understand what more explanation is required that this was not how classic functioned. Yes, sit aggro existed, but completely differently to how it is currently implemented in p99
