Yes a toggle option would do fine, but for me it would be for the best that it was completely removed.
Because i feel its in everybody's interest to have a world that needs to be learned, not printed on the screen with a big red icon.
While I would prefer not having any indication as to whether a mob aggroes without finding out myself or through the community, I feel it could at the very least be removed from the side of the monsters name. It would be better if the icon would show next to the monsters difficulty icon when your target the mob. Having to see a giant red star next to their name is such an eye sore and really ruins the immersion.
Make it toggleable and everyone wins.
I'd definitely support this. I'm sure to a lot of people this sounds dumb, but.. so far as I'm concerned it's basically a spoiler.
I mean so are the difficulty icons a bit, but way less so, and that aside it really does look a bit silly and annoying.. I'd be happy with a toggle option and all, of course, but, yes, it'd be nice were it de-implemented I think.

do away with the red icon or give me a toggle option.
is ugly and it has no porpouse other than make new players feel safe when they should be feeling SCARED when encountering new monsters.
Yes , please remove that, this is a rpg game is a part of the game, you have to improve your skills and look around and stay alert. FUN! ^^
I don't like the aggressive icon too. It seems the majority don't want it so.. probably SE will delete it, or at least, insert the option.
Anyway, I think that with the option to quit the icon, we will have more or less the same problem. There will be people that will have it ON, and when in party, or in an Event, someome will say: "Take care, aggro monsters there. I see the icon" and it will ruin the fun anyway..
It should be removed. A big part of this game is knowing what will and will not kill you instantly, and how to avoid them. This makes me feel like you are dummy-ing down the game. I hate it, it is just irritating. Every time I see it I think "Gads they think we are stupid."
remove the icon and just color the mobs' names differently. the icon looks hideous when you're fighting multiple enemies
