What SE Has Done RIGHT with the Updates

This. No reason for things to aggro that you can smash to a pulp in seconds with your bare fists as a naked BRD99. Honestly though, my opinion on this also changed a little from "against" to "indifferent", because I did come across several situations where this was actually useful, namely trials. I exploited their unexplicably aggressive attitude to round up huge numbers to AoE nuke them, which helped a lot with finishing the trials faster.

Trials are the very reason why stuff still gives experience at 99. Excessively-Easy-Prey agro still exists because it benefits crafters making sneak and invis tools
There's also the nostalgia factor.. robber crabs just wouldn't be robber crabs anymore if they weren't nibbling on your toes, now would they?

That is something different though. I don't mind mobs giving EXP, but the aggressive part is the annoyance here. There are mobs that still give EXP but do not aggro (even though they natively would). I wonder why this range couldn't have been expanded, because currently it only affects mobs in the 56~60 level range.

That and as far exp needed for trials.. This is the reason they need to expand MMM.
