Game Mechanics: Only four pets should be able to attack a mob at once, throughout Green/Blue timeline

Jesus, that is insane. I definitely wasn’t aware at the time. I imagine this will not be a super easy fix code-wise.

yeah at least 5 lines of code...

for(iterator hate_list.begin(); iterator != hate_list.end(); iterator++)
    if(isPet(*iterator))
        pets_attacking++;
if (pets_attacking > 4)
     //you get the idea

I vaguely remember when kiting mobs from live that 4 would attack and the rest would kind of hang back a bit, thinking this is similar (this is not an attempt at swaying the argument either way just stating a memory.)

I am pretty sure NPCs obeyed this rule against PCs but that's a bit murky around the when's and the how's, whereas the pet limit is much more straightforward.
