i really do wish the devs would do something about mobs.....mobs that we have no chance of getting experience or loot from.....from attacking as we travel. i mean, if it takes an hr to travel somewhere simply because getting beaten up by these mobs prevents you from getting there any faster then its hardly worth logging into the game when your time is restricted. Its very very irritating to say the least.Add to this the fact that every time i go from one chunk to the next i loose my mount and pet and have to recast them pretty much every time......its very frustrating and will probably eventually prevent me from playing vanguard completely......sadly, because i think the game has a lot of potential.

as you get higher level's you will start to get higher mounts and such with better stability at which point these lower level mob's won't be able to touch you

I've not had much problem staying on the roads and travelling. And like Nite said, once you get a little higher the lower level mobs won't even mess with you off-road unless you stand on top of them practically.

I heard somebody in game explain it as an aggro range related to your level as compared to the MOB in question. Where if you're lvl is more on par with the MOB in question it's aggro range is much higher than if you were lvl's above. Too wordy I know, but that's how I respond.
