did 99% ppl here against the aggro icon take silly pills today?

all the icon does is show what aggros not HOW. If they set up aggro like in most mmo. You have detects by sight, detects by sound, detects by blood, detects by magic.

So far all the icon does is shows you that it aggros. You still gotta learn how to avoid it. Really. I'm a long time ffxi player and Minus needing to see a flipping pic, I like the idea.

Do you guys what to sit and explain aggro to newbies everyday for years on end?

I think ppl are liers when they claim to play ffxi. Or else you guys forget how helpful the community used to be. Or hasn't played it recently. the ffxi community isn't as helpful as it was. Newbies end up getting strung along w.o getting taught anything. My last day playing. I ran into a guy stuck in jeuno. He was lvl 18 with lvl 1 gear. (its hard to come by/ 10K and up now) and couldn't get a party. I had to explain aggro to him as his friend who left him dudn't. He had no clue what did or didn't aggro.
