[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] got attacked in Qhills by a lvl 3-8 bear while medding today so that throws that theory out of the window about them not hitting me anymore at lvl 19.

Any character that sits will appear as a level 1 to any NPC wandering by. This includes sitting to meditate. This means that at level 19 if you are standing and a KOS mob wanders by "20 feet away" it may not attack you (because it takes your level into account). But as soon as you sit, that same bear will make a bee-line to you from the same "20 feet away" and attack you. It sees you as level 1.

You can test this with a level 60 vs a level 19 against KOS mobs. The mobs will have a smaller aggro radius to the level 60 player than the level 19 player (meaning a mob will come attack you from further away at level 19 than they will at 60). But the aggro radius when sitting will be exactly the same for the 60 player and 19 player.

This is not a mistake or bug. Unless you have in era evidence that shows otherwise.
