They still need to fix how someone can get aggro from a mob, get out of casting distance (say mob is casting tier 4 spell), then I can run in range, and somehow the mob auto-targets me instead. Still an issue...

Well, the game has become easier in the sense that you can level sync but it has hampered the newer players. They will stay in the dunes and qufim forever. They have no clue how to get to Kazham so you have a high level job without any skill ups. I think the number one problem in FFXI right now is skill ups for players. Anyone can get a high level now with time but you will be lame without your skills!

That's hardly limited to new players.

Well, now it is everyone because you don't party together as much with anyone at the same level... So, yes I agree with that...

The fact that monsters can hit you from 30+ meters away from you when you are running away from them...it makes no sense and it shouldnt happen.

Keep in mind that where you see the mob is actually where it was about 2 seconds ago. That's why when trying to engage a mob you haven't aggroed, you actually need to aim yourself to run ahead of where it appears to be, because you are on a 2 second delay for what you see. The mob is more like 15' away, not 30'.

For example, if you have access to two accounts on the same server, stand the two characters side by side and start them running in the same direction at the same time. Even though you are in the same room, the other player will always appear to be behind the one on the screen you are playing on, even though they are running the same direction and speed at the same starting time. Their position data goes through the server and back to you, same with mob position data. You will only appear to be running side by side from a third player's screen.
