Please let mobs be pullable for about twice or triple the distance they are now before returning to spawn point, it is way too quick. Makes it hard to position mobs around or untangle them from other aggro mobs.
Also add mob linking..it's silly that mobs shouldn't get angry at me killing their kind. Especially so for beastman races like Goblins. Not all mobs need to link, but definetely some species should.

The current distance is far enough. Any farther and its back to ffxi sit-in-one-spot-all-night parties. No thanks.

Nonsense, there is a middle way. When i pull mobs away from other aggroing mobs i should expect the lancer in the group to be able to attack our mob from the rear without other aggro mobs attacking him. At this time this is not the case in a lot of circumstances.
I've never had this problem in other MMOs so clearly there is a middleway, it will improve party dynamics as you can work with positioning more especially if the puller needs to watch linking from other mobs aswell. -

I do agree though that certain mobs should link. I really haven't noticed much, if any linking in this game. It's pretty much just all sight aggro with a few sound & sight aggroing mobs. -

We dont need monsters chasing us to the ends of the earth again >.> the range is fine as is.

Maybe not double or triple, but adding a little bit to the distance would be helpful. So many times I've been doing a leve where there are 4+ aggro mobs all sitting next to each other. Try to pull one group of them away so I'm not getting aggro from all four of them, but they turn and run back before I can get to a decent distance that lets me fight without getting attacked by all of them. It's really frustrating to be hitting something and watch it turn around and run away as if it really isn't bothered at all.

This is exactly what i mean, maybe the distance can be tweaked so that if we damage it we can pull it alittle further? (and i don't mean pulling it to the next town while damaging...ofcourse there should be a limit, just saying before someone brings that up)
Yesterday was fighting Toad Poachers, their pull distance seemed to be something like 3 meters, yet the other group that they were standing in aggro'd at 4 meters...should atleast be the other way around. -

You can kill just about anything that can't one shot you by pulling to the edge of their zone and wearing them down. This would make that technique less viable as you would be pounded by ranged attacks when you went back in to range, and if you waited for them to return you would be penalised with sp based on what the mob hp was when you reclaimed it.
