I'm not a fan. I feel it takes away an important aspect of MMORPGs: The panic (and by proxy, excitement) of aggroing a mob you didn't notice, or didn't know was hostile. Sure, most people will say that it's an annoyance, but I think it's a fundamental part of the experience. It teaches you to not be an mindless drone, and to keep an eye out while traveling.
Now I can just go "Oh, hey, giant red icon. Let's just work our way around that." Where's the fun in that?
Most MMOS have some kind of aggro indication--it's just that most took the WoW route of making aggressive mobs have red names instead of adding the admittedly distracting icons.I'm not a fan.

I'm also for either getting rid altogether or adding an option to turn off the aggro indicator. I don't like it very much.
