There's honest criticism and then there's useful, productive, and showing-the-proper-respect-for-someone-who-is-doing-you-a-giant-favor criticism (that giant favor being the hundreds if not thousands of hours that have been put in to give you a free game). You could have said:

Thanks so much for your fast response. As a developer myself, I've come to appreciate the value and importance of testing. Perhaps if you were to flesh out your unit test coverage of this area of the code, you might be able to prevent issues like this from ever making it to live.
That would have conveyed the same honest criticism, but it would have done so in a polite manner. As my wife frequently has to remind me "it's not just what you say, it's how you say it".

Sit aggro is being changed to where it is never more than max initial aggro. That is biggest issue right now.

If I pull Entyni in the MM pit with her 2 gargs and then FD... should they then aggro the people they can't see sitting up at CE? (z axis etc) That happened last week, couldn't apologize enough to them but got some LoL style heat for it.

They shouldn't be on the aggro list, but as they were now "active" they decided they'd go and cleanse the zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok, should not add ppl if the mob or zone requires los aggro in first place. But i am also reducing range of that check too.

It seems that sit agro is causing enough hate to register faction hits. I'm not totally sure how the whole process or acquiring a faction hit works as thats not my thing but just seems to me like its causes agro like dmg would which would cause the faction hit instead of just getting proximity+some agro.

The first time I took the faction hit, I told the wizard so. He replies with 'weird'. He continued to quad through me a second time, then afterwards asks me, Did you take a faction hit again? I said Yes. These two times I was fast enough to stand up before the guards actually ran within melee range. The third time he brought his guards through me they killed me. I told him that he got me killed and he said that they shouldn't be attacking me. I only posted to find out why, not to put someones name on blast. Also, Haynar, I was not 'sitting where mobs were being quadded' I was sitting where I was sitting camping the damn bard on the bard diet where everyone else sits. There is plenty of room in NK for him to do his thing, no need to run DIRECTLY over me.

I got one thing with pathing i need to test, then will totally change sit aggro. If u arent on aggro list, will totally only make mob come smack u if noone else has more hate. Will make it so mob never remembers you.

If ur already on hate list, should behave similar to now. Will just make it so sitting doesnt add you.
