Aggresive mobs and the zone lines

[Masamune1004]

I've seen many people comment on how the sound mobs would aggro even when they were walking, and I've finally encountered it myself while walking up to Bronze Lake through the south entrance. A Storm Biast aggroed me as I walked up from the Zelma's Run zone to Bronze Lake. At first I thought the mob might be bugged so I walked down from Iron Lake this time and went through the northwest entrance and walked down to the mob. I walked right through him and he wouldn't aggro. I even threw a couple snowballs at him, nothing. The only thing I can guess is that when you cross the zone line, the game thinks that you are running when you enter the zone, thus the sound mob attacks you.

Steps:
1. Walk from the Zelma's Run zone up into the Bronze Lake zone.
2. If you are in a Storm Biast's aggro range, it will aggro you even if you are walking.

It probably happens with every sound aggro mob, the Storm Biast is just an example.

Might be a glich with the zone line, but Biast/Drakes are sight aggro as well,where you in front of them when this happened?

They arent sight aggro, when i went back down I walked in front of it and it didn't aggro.
