Agreed. Sitting was dangerous near any mob, even greens. But I do not remember Ping-Pong being a tactic.

yup

The mechanic itself is classic. The implementation here needs some tweaking.

Was just watching a stream of guy in a OT group near FM zoneline. Guy outside of group nukes a mob (believe was down to ~85% after nuke) and run pasts group. Chanter in group gets aggro instantly because medding in path of mob and resulted in guy claiming they just stole his mob. The group then retorts back that he trained the mob on them.

Luckily they all now know sit aggro was added, but still caused accusations to be made initially.

Lol because your recollections of live must be truer than others' because they're not parroting what you're parroting? Sit agro was a fact of life if, as the guy you're quoting quoted, the mob didn't have sufficient agro developed on the puller.

Which is likely the reason 5% assist was something common on live as an arbitrarily low amount of damage was apparently sufficient to overcome sit-agro (even with warriors who generate the least amount of agro). And it's not a matter of my memory being better than others - it has everything to do with the fact that if conjecture created it, conjecture will correct it. The level of support for/against in this case would definitely play into the speed or priority it gets fixed in. If this mechanic were not responsible for creating some extremely obvious exploits how fast do you think it would have been corrected?

My apologies for sounding condescending - the overwhelming feeling I get from reading a thread like this is a good amount of very vocal players value other players' tears over getting something that was very obviously true on live to work correctly.

I think the people saying that change was classic didn't play yesterday. It was hilarious and crazily exploitable. Haven't tried since the fix today. Hope its much better.

All the deaths from sitting were classic. The changes were off. So adjustments were made. We are observing those results and will make addition tweaks as we see fit.

So far so good. But can you set it so if you sit in Old Seb you aggro the whole zone? But only for that zone.

Try not sitting so close to the mob and you will have that classic memory again :P.

Good to hear. Yeah will be nice to have classic sit aggro mechanics. Just meant it was funny how extreme it was yesterday. Look forward to seeing the new adjustments. I understand its a work in progress. Thanks for the all the hard work!
