AS mentioned, this was an intentional change to align the server with how the situation was on live back in the classic era. I think the key is that green con humanoid mobs will agro. Others will not.
The mob fleeing at 20% at a higher rate of speed was also put in place several months ago. This is also in keeping with the situation on live. The initial run speed for fleeing mobs was inaccurate (it was VERY fast). Snare was almost always needed in zones like LGuk and SolA on live. Root was okay but it would break often when mobs were getting hit so we preferred snare. Snare also prevented fleeing mobs from fighting whereas a fleeing rooted mob will still fight.
One thing which I have noticed that isn't really in place here (related to this discussion) is the effect of having a similar mob type in proximity when a mob wishes to flee. Mobs would not run when others of their social type were nearby. One tactic was to fight a mob close to another mob but out of agro range. This would effectively rot the mob (called it social root) as it would not flee at low health. (at least, this is how I remember it).
I agree that the green agro is very annoying. I could live without it but it is what it is so we just need to adjust our tactics accordingly.
