    Ranger known, also hear casters as well complain. While attacking mobs that are my specific target, random arrows will fire at alternate mobs regardless of line of site. Causing unnecessary aggro.

    Example: While in Crag Mines, the bandits are not threatening unless provoked. While kiting ghosts, skeleton mobs in the mines, my character will fire stray arrows at the bandits provoking them regardless of whether I am targeted on a ghost/skeleton or not. Doesn't happen all the time but quite often.

    The first floor of the Etceter Crag Mines has neutral creatures. If attacked, they will be hostile.

    The lower levels have hostile creatures and is working correctly.

    You will have to be careful not to attack the neutral creatures if you don’t want them to become hostile to you.

    The issue the OP is talking about happens whether you want it to or not. It's not a question of being careful. Let's say that you're fighting some hostile creature and right at the moment you release an arrow, your target moves behind an obsticle and your arrow decides, all on its own, to instead hit a nearby non-aggressive mob. Or, you're using auto-attack, your target dies and you're avatar then targets and shoots the nearest mob, aggressive or not. This is a real issue and it's really frustrating.

    I personally feel a reasonable fix would be that in order to attack a non-aggressive, you would have to actively target that mob. In short, you would have to double click the mob.
