I never said I liked the direction mmo are going in. I just choose to accept it. Mostly after i looked back on my early ffxi days and said to myself most of the crap I put up with was so not worth it. The aggro icons don;t do anything to the game in making it easy. It just help ppl a lil to learn what mobs to avoid. There is still danger as you can still get aggro even if you know it does. Knowing what does and don't aggro isn't making the realm less dangerous.
Even if i played ffxi I wouldn't care, i'm not ppl. I'm for anything that will get subs in. ffxi is just about dead. Not because of aby, not because of cop "nerf" but because no one wants to play that type of game anymore.

All this aggro icon hate is unjustified.
If you hate the agro icon but used sneak and invisible stiff in ffxi then your contradicting yourself. Those did make exploration less dangerous. As did chocobo. So really what makes aggro icon such a big deal?
