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
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.
