It was stated earlier that they talked about this at the Dallas Fan Faire in 2001 -- It was actually in January of 2002.
I don't see how this is possible when I found this post dated 5/31/2001:

The last was the most devious, but also totally explainable.
I was in SolA. A goblin shaman was green to me, and thus too chicken to
attack me. However, he could see me, and this allowed him to share his hate
list with everyone around him. Meaning me. This is effectively a 0 mana,
instantaneous cast of see invis for every mob within normal aggro range (and
through walls).
This, still, didn't matter, until a Blue to Me non-casting melee goblin
of some description, wandered by. While he couldn't see me, he could take
the hate list of the shaman, and poof, he could instantly attack me. (I
love how invisibility doesn't actually make you invisible).
The kicker is, that since a BTM had aggroed on me... all the little
greenies took courage from him, and joined the fight.
So when I gated, I was busy bandaging quickly trying to fight the DOT
that that little shaman had stung me with... grrr, should have blasted it
out of its boots before it got help.
