Was never this way on live. Can't speak as much for raids, but in an exp group after a round of white hits or a good ranged hit I would hold aggro regardless of casters sitting near the fight.

Yeah, you really only risked getting owned while sitting if the puller brought back mobs via proximity aggro or maybe just a single melee/weak range attack. You were able to sit safely after the mob was at like 95-98%.

This is nowhere near classic. Sitting aggro was never an issue on pulls, unless you were talking raid mobs, and even then if you had a sk pull or a warrior mallet, the raid mob would head to them and not the sitting player. As for non raid mobs, we would chain pull for hours and the cleric would only stand for heals. This change to aggro makes the game aggro dynamic, nowhere close to classic. Just ruined pulling imho and as a warrior, ruined my already failing ability to tank.

I'm really not sure that this sit aggro thing is classic, mainly because back during raids in live you were able to sit to camp out during a raid wipe. Now you are unable to.

^^ good point

sounds like camping out in the middle of a wipe would be impossible now, which is definitely not classic.

This is absolutely 100% accurate.

What people seem to have forgotten is that there were basically two kinds of agro mobs. One type would always pick up anyone on their hate list, regardless of level or if there's already someone on the hate list, e.g. skeletons and raid mobs. Other mobs however you could happily drag by other players and they wouldn't add them to their hate list, as long as they weren't fighting social mobs themselves.

So yes, raid mobs in fear were ultra aggressive and took every opportunity to add you to their hate list. Being close to a train in mistmoore on the other hand didn't matter as long as you weren't fighting a mistmoore mob at that time and you got away before all targets on the train's hate list were gone.

Unfortunately, this wasn't really a topic of debate back then so it would be next to impossible to find any solid info on that.

Nilbog: froglok raider spawns in swampofnohope will be much more prevalent at night time

Of course, patch the quest after I finish it!!!

On top of all the actual game play that's not correct now, I'm still having issues even getting into the game. When I finally do make it in, I crash on EVERY zone attempt. The game has become unplayable for me.

BWAH!! Can't log on at all now... I swear, every time there's a patch i have to get half the IT department together to get my game running again.
