Avatar AI problems that need to be addressed

[Korpg]

You stated yourself that there is never a situation in which you would want an avatar to auto-attack a sleeping mob, therefor you have no reason to object to that aspect being fixed. You are arguing to argue.

Go away troll.

You don't understand. The only way for SE to "fix" your problem is to take away the auto-aggression of avatars when the SMN is on top of the hate list. Basically, you are asking SE to take away the aspect of SMN that allows most SMNs to solo, including you when you killed that Dragon NM in Ifrit's Cauldron. Ask yourself this, how can you have beaten that dragon if you had to assault every time you had to resummon your avatar? Do you think that you could have survived the hit(s) each time because the avatar couldn't automatically hit the NM?

Maybe there is another reason why avatars hit sleeping mobs. Maybe they aren't doing it because the mobs are sleeping *gasp* Learn from your mistakes instead of asking SE to solve your problems for you.

Once again arguing to argue. You are wrong, and don't know anything about game design or game programming. If PUP pets can be taught not to cast silence on mobs that don't have MP, SMN pets can be taught not to auto-attack sleeping mobs. It isn't an all or nothing thing. Programming AI can be very flexible. It's called a state machine. Look it up some time. It would be very easy to create a 'Mob is asleep' state as well as a 'Mob is awake' state and have two different auto-attack behaviors associated to them. And before you start arguing that then avatars would never be able to hit slept mobs, this state would only apply to the first auto-attack, and not from a separate state using assault. I've made state machines and not only is what I am asking to do possible, but it's only a few lines of code.

But you never will admit to being wrong, even when presented with evidence proving you are. Go away troll.
