Re: Aggro to resting/sitting

It is my belief that there is no such thing as aggro to resting only. It is either a blood aggro while resting, the person didn't have sneak/invis up like they thought, or an aggro mob has noticed you more because by resting, he thinks you are extremely vulnerable.
As I said, I don't think resting aggro exists, just that monsters feel you are more vulnerable when resting.
That's what I figured. Yeah, it doesn't happen. If it did it would be fairly common knowledge by now. Only time it's not known as to how a mob aggros is when it's a new mob, and then the only way to learn is to test it. For example, the first day AU was opened and I decided to explore the underground area. Found out the hard way that the Diremites there aggro sound. >_>
