Quote:Warning! This has had the effect of reintroducing the possibility of 'train grieving' players (that had been removed the game in the orginal beta). Even if a player has already cleared a 'safe zone' around a node that they are going to mine, any mobs that tracked across that area by someone else will also add the miner to their aggro list. The result is that when the mob reaches its aggro leash range, instead of heading back to its home postion, it will then head back to the miner. This happened to me yesterday when someone pulled a train across me when I was mining a node in a cleared out area, I ended up with their entire train coming after me when it should have been snapping back.
Why did Blizzard feel this change was necessary? Seems just sadistic to me. And it removes one of the benefits of a flying mount / flight form. Many the time that I have landed on a node, mined it, and flown off without disturbing the local fauna.
That was more than likely the exact reason they made the change.
It also introduces a new and unorthodox method of ganking Alliance scum in Nagrand.
