Your worst group?

We get back to the ship room, clear Cookie and work our way up the ramp.  Our aggro radius  must've been huge.  When get near the top, Greenskin aggros pulling the rest of the ships crew at us.  I yell to everyone to jump in the water and as I go to jump off of the platform I get frost nova-ed and slaughtered.  Another run of passing patrols and we get back to the ship.  We pull Greenskin and he brings the whole crew.  I jump into the water and I'm the only one to survive.  I wait a little bit and make a newb error.  I didn't wait for the full reset and end up getting slaughtered as soon as i set foot on the beach. Another corpse run and sneaking by patrols. This should be the last time, right?

We get back to the ship room get up the ramp and here comes Greenskin this time we all make it into the water, wait for the full reset and try again.  Greenskin comes again, jump, climb ramp.  At this point it was pretty obvious that our aggro raidus was too big to stand on that platform as Greenskin walked by so I suggested hanging back till he passed at the same time that MJ suggested the same thing.  We finally made it past that section of ramp, kill off the pirates on the top ramp, so now it's just Greenskin and his 2 cronies.  They go down very quickly and with quite a bit of satisfaction.

This looks like it's a design decision and something you need to expect. If you do VC while level appropriate (18-22) standing anywhere but on the far side of that platform will aggro the good captain. I think it's expected that you must time your run up the ramp (and hide in the boxes at the top) and fight the defias on top up there.

Obviously, if you zerg it, you can just fight your way up that ramp (reduced aggro radius) but I don't think that's how it's intended.
