Can passive monsters suddenly become aggressive?

I've hunted probably thousands of ghost bugs, meek powder bomb things, and hyungo ghosts.. and when I attack one, the others don't bother me. Then, suddenly last night.. they started to gangbang and chase me. The powder bomb people were mass bombing me and it wasn't pretty. I also noticed that Green level monsters were giving 1 XP and 1 SP.. which is odd, because they usually earn something.

Are there certain times on the server that they get aggressive or anyone have any ideas?

And while I'm on a large number of confused deaths.. how many deaths am I allowed on a particular level before my XP % starts declining.. because usually there's no penalty on death - even if it says it does.

you were prolly in a auto share party, those parties cause mobs near the one you attacked to attack as well, makes it easier to lure

There's two powder bomb ghosts. Ones aggressive and the other one is not.

I think this might be the answer to ur problem lol. Ur may be lvling too fast to notice the xp drop, or maybe ur looking at the wrong time, U lose xp as soon as u die, not when u return to town.

That and when you die at that level you lose 2% so it is not hard to notice.

Speaking of weird exp and agro.

I was once in this pt and was a bard. My tambour just kept re casting over my plvlers one over and over and over. Everytime he killed something I got 0 exp. It made no sense omg.

Yes. If you stare at a passive mob long enough it will attack you.
