Poison/disease counters did generate hate on P99 before. That is why Infestation was a highly sought after Warrior weapon for years. You may not have seen that since you joined in 2023. After the 2022 patch I linked previously, people stopped using weapons that relied on poison/disease counters like Infestation. Raid Warriors usually have a good understanding/feel for their weapon hate. So I believe people when they say poison/disease counter hate changed. I just haven't tested it myself.

Agreed. Not refuting that it changed, fully aware that these items like WESS and Infestation were go to top tier agro weapons a few years back.

More so that the change is working as intended and that the counters producing hate in the past was likely a bug not a feature.

Just thinking through playing on a shaman for example, if the counters added additional hate it would make it incredibly rare for a shaman to ever not have agro on a mob (certainly in a solo or group situation, but even in raids we often see shaman deaths as it is today without hate from the counters).
