Before I started playing FFXI, I read about enmity and how you should be careful not to get too much hate. So, I expected there to be an indicator telling you just how much hate you had.

Obviously FFXI didn't have that. But I'm glad FFXIV will.

I imagine that's why they made it a series of icons, instead of a progress bar. If you've got the red icon, you know you're close to the top - but you don't know how much wiggle room you've got left.

That actually *is* what they're saying. It's worded a little strangely, but you can tell from context that "Taking action against you" means you're on the hate list, and "being targeted" means it's biting your face.

On a side note, I'm surprised to hear people say they didn't like the aggro icon. I mean, I do appreciate that you can toggle it off, but I love being able to run around and explore without checking a wiki every thirty seconds to see what will and won't kill me. I miss it when I play FFXI ;_;
