Game Mechanics: mobs fleeing

Decided to test this, mainly because of your demeanor. I went to a lava storm and found a camp with 2 green con fire goblins standing close together. I rooted one, then sat at a distance so the other would add with assist aggro, then waited till the initial one broke root. I pulled them both away from the camp to avoid any other potential assist variables. I actually did this 2 times, once when damaging the initial aggro below 20%, the other time with damaging the assist aggro below 20%. Both times the almost dead one would flee while the other continued to attack.

Do you actually play on p99? Because the way you're talking to other people, you'd think you'd have tested this. Perhaps this is some sort of elaborate troll that I'm just not catching on to.

Very interesting, as that's not how it works on live or Mac.
Secondly, I've experienced the opposite to you many many times in sol a power leveling with 30-50 mobs on me as a cleric and none run until the last.

So could we perhaps hypothesize that having a lower level (credible threat/in xp range) person on hate list causes the no flee?

Typical scenario is I would root a mob at high shaman, and at champion, and run to zone and sit when roots broke. Other person would hit everything once as well as buff me, I keep aggro on myself (and heal) with clicky VP heal staff in a corner, and let DS do the rest.

I would assume nothing has changed in the last 18months since I did this here.

On EQMac, it was the same as how I wrote - as I have recent memory and experience doing it.
