No, there seem to be a lot of people (or at least outspoken people) that aren't terribly thrilled with their implementation. I personally don't care one way or another if the monsters are flagged as aggro monsters or not, but I do think the icons are remarkably obtrusive.

A suggestion I saw somewhere else, perhaps on a fan site forum, was to just put the icon with the Difficulty icon that pops up when you click a monster. That'd be the best way of implementing it as just a marker. SE could get a bit more creative with it, perhaps making aggro monsters display certain obviously aggressive behavior or otherwise integrate that "this guy will attack you without warning," sign into the game in a more natural, less tacked on way.

There is already a gigantic thread dedicated to this debate:

Granted the older thread is on the 9th page of the forums, but if you want to actually be helpful then link the OP to the thread. =/

Just make aggroing type mobs make vicious noises, then we wouldn't have those ugly symbols. I mean look at a lion, it growls, and a wolf, it howls. Mkae yarzons make weird noises, make goblins grumble, it's not that hard. Seems they took the easy way out on this.

The game those aggro signs are looking for is "PoP Cap's MMO for all ages" they should just move on.

Honestly though I think they're insulting to any player's intelligence that's above the age rating of 12.

To me it doesn't really matter either. Eventually you learn which monsters aggro anyway and which ones you can beat up at what level. So the aggro signs don't really make a difference to me.
