It has nothing to do with anything before hand. It was just the amount of AA exp people were collecting scared sony about keeping their cash cow chugging along. They nerfed the AoE areas of those zones and added in the function of mobs stop chasing you after a distance.

My group alone collected over 100 AA points in 3 days in the deep. We ended up having a Gm and a dev come by and watch how we were doing it. The mobs had 2-4k hps and hit in the 30s, and were blue to us. The same thing with mobs in the Grey.

I remember this clearly since you could run through the Fungi Grove and survive since they stopped coming after you.

Use Snare on random attackers. You will get attacked by lots of wandering creatures. It's best to snare them and keep pulling or tracking your real target. These snared creatures will stop chasing and therefor will not be added to your pull once at your group.

Lazy Aggro

In Kunark and Velious, if you are beyond a certain distance from a mob, it will lose interest and no longer pursue you, though will still maintain you on the hate list with an increased aggro radius.

have someone outside agro range inviso you, get up run and then drop inviso and mob is off like a shot after you ( with old world agro, Kunark and Veli agro has the lazy arse mob factor as I call it, things that are still agro'ed on you but won't waste the energy to beat on you unless you get back into a decent range where they don't have to run as far ).
