Dropping off the hate list in Iceclad

[aspomwell]

So I've been quadding frost giant scouts in Iceclad on my druid.

Sometimes I need to travel pretty far to tag 4 of them. I've been aggroing them with ensnare, a long lasting snare that does no damage. I generally do so and run back to the shore and wait for them all to find me.

Twice last night after running back to the shore they never came. The second time I still had the last guy targetted so I went out and found him and sure enough he was just wandering around the snow.

I thought once you were on the hate list, you were on it unless you had some skill or spell to reduce/eliminate it (which as a druid, I don't).

Is this a bug or is that how it works in Velious? I would have marked it as a fluke once but it happened twice last night. I could also see maybe one of them losing aggro but all 4? Is there a distance limit? I've never heard of one before...
