Never seen this with any mobs I have pulled, so far if you hit em they come after you. Is that just one mob or all of them?
This is indeed the case. One easy example is the beetle area in Antonica (just north of NQ gate). If you agro a beetle and run south towards the gate, they will stop chasing you right at the aqueduct. You can safely stand a few feet away and practice Ranged attack on the beetle (getting skill increases). This is the case in every zone for every mob. Try it and you will see.

You can farm all you want I do it all the time. As for Twinking you stil can just not as bad as you used to be able to.
It's not as easy to farm since the creature has to be at least green, and some greenies can still rape you. I've only found a few farmable named mobs which I looked for as often as I could, but as soon as I dinged, they went away.

Never had that on our sever in EQ. A 70L could farm the crap out of a 30L mob.
The trivial loot code was put into EQ1 and quickly taken out because of all the complaints. Only a small handful of zones kept the TLC, and those were always completely empty.

As for the atuning system stoping farming, no don't think so. I make 1 to 2 plats perday farming 1 mob so you can farm. U may have to turn off exp sooner or later but u can farm.
You can farm, but as I stated above, it is not as rampant and freewheeling as in EQ1. This is both good and bad since it lets newbs have a chance to kill named mobs, yet it takes away that feeling you got in EQ1 of overcoming a mob solo that used to kick your *** as a newb.

As for twinking who cares anyhow if you have cash you can buy what ever your alts need anyway and its still twinking.
Yes, but the items are relegated to a specific level. And frankly, questing for newbie armor gives better exp than buying it and killing creatures. All the money in the game cannot buy your twink an item that he can use that will be above what every other newb has. Such items do not exist. Handing over twink gear does not make your baby level any faster. Having your baby quest for the stuff levels him/her faster.

Mentoring was put in so one could still complete lower level quests and to be able to group with lower levels.
Mentoring is a great addition. I used it in Antonica to get some exp with a lowbie killing mobs that would otherwise be gray, just so I could pass the time building up foraging skills that had been neglected. That same player met up with me in Stormhold and I mentored again while killing otherwise gray mobs, and even took on some named mobs that would have been gray. All the items I won ended up on my vendor, so yes, mentoring helps with farming in a roundabout way.

Seems like people should just play the game and not worry about farming grays for loot at no risk. You can farm away just have to take your chances on dying while doing it that all. And if you want farm longer just turn your exp off so you can cont to farm.
Some things that sound absurd can actually add spice and fun to the game. Besting a named mob that killed you as a newb gave a feeling of power and accomplishment that is missing in EQ2. Don't tell me you never went back to Crushbone just to stomp on DVinn, or went back into LGuk to solo Frenzied Ghoul. That part of the game is fun, just like something as irrelevant as having different armor or dyes.

Pulling is pulling in this game you eather get one or all of em. No art to it slop em in killem all.
Exactly! The art of pulling is missing, and frankly I think this is a bad thing.

As for the spells there are quest for spell upgrades already in the game. I like the gray mobs don't drop loot, plus they fixed it with /mintor (other then you can't get loot with no risk whish is what you really want) As for the droped weapons on mobs I think alot of the EQ mobs did that also and the ones they droped where not worth keeping anyhow.
I didn't know about spell quest upgrades. I have not come across one yet. As for the dropped weapons, what matters is not that they sucked, but that you could hoard up on them and make some cash selling them or hand them over to your pet who will look cooler wielding something. They were also not that bad to a newb that didn't have anything better.
