Bad news, sorry to here about the trudgery you went through.

There is one thing I don't understand here. After he feigned death,
why did the mobs go after you and not after his pet?

Sometimes I run into a rude toon myself there.

If the feign death trick works perhaps the next time I run into a rude
toon I can dismiss my pet, aggro a boatload of mobs (imps and lizards)
while near the embattled toon (ofttimes a mage) and feign death then
sit back and watch. I be sure to yell "LET"S HAVE FUN!!"

Then again it is hard for me to stoop to that level. I have to be
having a bad day to actually carry out acts of revenge on rude people.

Well odds are sooner or later I am going to have a bad day. (snicker)

I never saw his pet and I assume that he had dismissed it. The kicker
is that I wasn't acting in a rude manner, just tagging ethereals one
at a time and trying to stay well away from other farmers in the area.
I've even had situations where I was close to another farmer and
indicated for them to go ahead and tag one that was close to both of
us. This particular horde hunter seems to have carried out his act
simply because I was alliance and he was horde (this is on a PvE
server)...perhaps he had a bad day in one of the BGs, hard to say....

On another note, had something interesting happen at the summoning
stone in Colifang the other night. Was waiting for a party member to
show up (you know the guy in the group that forgets water or arrows or
something and stones back to Shatt...) and there were a couple of
horde players nearby. These two horde clowns were challenging each
other to duels and the hunter of the pair was setting snake traps. The
other would purposely trip the trap and stand there and die so that
the snakes would attack other nearby players. If one of our group
swung at a snake that would have marked him PvP and most likely all
hell would have broken loose because there was a fairly sizable crowd
of both factions milling about.....fortunately nobody bit on the
antics and the snakes just annoyed us until they died.....These two
clowns tried it several times before they gave up.....

Yep. The only way to sucessfully pull mobs onto someone who didn't
tag them already is to hope that they're either a) doing AOE that will
hit them, or b) to hope that they'll panic and hit one of them. The
old "I'll aggro a bunch and run them over to this hordie!" trick
doesn't work without them screwing up though .

because he had shot them before entrapping them. the other hunter shot
them as well, but apparently did not send in his pet. this only means
two people were on its aggro list and when the other hunter fd, it
dropped him leaving only the OP on the aggro list.

this only works if they attack the mobs. otherwise they wont be on the
threat list, and the mobs will just reset.

It's a fairly standard practice in heavily-farmed areas, especially when
someone is being a pig and tagging things they're not attacking (hint).

One time I was in the cave in shadowmoon and someone rubberbanded 5
ravagers on me. They were *really* pissed when I managed to kill them all
and live. Even funnier, a netherwing egg dropped from one of them.

All right, now we're seriously getting into dickhead mode. *

Find another person on the "other side" and give them gold to take him
down.

The secret behind this trick is to gather up mobs that will be near the
player when they snap back to their home positions. If you don't see it
coming you can get a whole group prox aggroed on you. *

Why stop at just one?
