It may have not been the best AI ever but it's the best I've seen in a MMO for monsters to actively target and track you, follow you with their heads, be alerted to sound and acting realistically instead of a blind monster...attacking everything that makes a sound.

They were baby steps that probably had plans on expanding but once again the playerbase over-reacted to the launch shunning anything and everything to do with the game to hop on the "I hate ___ train" and the Mob AI was nixed when it was a feature that could have been so much more with a few tweaks.

I'm still not sure why next to all behavioural traits were removed, I can understand the curious AI but everything else should have stayed intact hell most of them were athstetic more than practical, like the red crabs who would rear up on there legs when someone entered near their agro range.
Your making it sound like more than what it was every mob already tracks you with trier heads and stuff. The crab stuff was ok but how many of them did you normally encounter during the game? Cause last time i recall they were all 70+
