When I put the code in to do that for charmed pets I asked around to see if it applied to regular pets and told it didn't.

Chain petting is not exploiting any mechanic. It is a legitimate and OLDSCHOOL tactic. Read the old mage forums. (they're still up)

You're so bad at this game that you need to try to detract from others' achievements to make yourself feel better about your lack of them.
You're right bro

I forgot how all the old school guilds back in the day chain petted the server firsts

I don't know squat about the charmed pets and aggro transfer, but in EQ up to and including at least Velious (and I'm sure PoP, I just never interacted much with pet owners by then) pets couldn't hold aggro to save their lives. Even the infamous Velious bosses (with that absurd exponential aggro modifier for distance, and the exploits that came with it) wouldn't attack pets worth a damn. Being pretty much at any point above simply being "on the aggro list" would make you the target, including crap like bandaging a mage when the pet has already soloed a mob down to 50%.

Since pet taunt "worked" as much as taunt ever worked, I'm assuming they had a gigantic -% modifier to aggro generation (as opposed to a -% modifier to their current aggro value).

Well since I can't edit and forgot to mention it...

Charmed pets clearly acted differently, as the Frozen Jesus could attest.

Much respect for that statement.

Lol at the respect stuff

Anyways,

It could be true that pet aggro generation was considerably lower than a players, or maybe even split between the pet and it's owner. Thoughts?

Within the context of that fight, it wouldn't matter for a number of reasons. Not sure if you are trying to make a general change or one tailored to that specific mob.

So cool to argue about 9, 10, 11 year old content!
Or to pipe in in a condescending way over 9, 10, 11 year old content and pretend like you are somehow above it!

and hi supreme cool that you're working so hard on releasing your own server of 11 year old content.

I had a dream that trans was wiping to a dragon...

vox...

in a cave...

Then I woke up and realized everyone wins on supreme's candyland.

So cool to trivialize 9, 10, 11 year old content!

I'm actually getting kind of tired of seeing the "10 year old content" argument. Your either here to play it or you aren't. If you are than it doesn't matter how old... the content is, you enjoy it just the same (or in this case, the drama is just the same :P)
10

Year old...

CONTENT!!!
