it works simple the way player can call for help so why not the monsters ? you should see the battle actions when you attack the said squirrel it shows that "monster calls for aid" meaning its throwing a call for help, so yea I don't mind it, rather I like it, but what I would like to see is some monsters attacking each other or having the npcs at random going out killing some mobs the way you would see them in FFXII but I think that isnt possible for a online game since it would add to server lag, so I will settle for monsters linking as it helps with skill-chains and spirit bound parties.
