Aggro vs. Pull: Yes, There's a Difference

Definitions - 'Aggro' is the result of performing an act that causes a hostile mob to initiate an attack upon you and/or your party. 'Pull' is the intentional action of causing aggro in a way that is both controlled and expected, and almost always results with the tank(s) topping the aggro table.

Usage - Oblivious DPSer: "Sorry, I didn't mean to accidently pull that first Emalon trash mob and wipe us." Tank: "You didn't pull, you aggro'd! [/kick]"

Further Detail - Here are some scenarios that may help you determine if you just pulled or aggro'd:

• If you didn't know you pulled, you didn't; you aggro'd.
  
• If your heart jumps and you say "Oh, Sh!t" inside your head as the mobs attack, you just aggro'd.
  
• If a hunter used Misdirection, you pulled... whether the tank knows it or not.
  
• If a mage uses Polymorph... well, depends on the level of communication before the cast.
  
• If you didn't know the mobs were there until they were attacking you, you aggro'd.
  
• If your back was to the mobs when they attacked, you aggro'd.
  
• If Shystechris is your tank, at best it's 50/50.
