My only beef with agroo is when i start clobering some mob and there's a guy AFK nearby, he only saw me gets close to me since i hit him, and suddenly moves to attack the guy AFK for whatever reason.
This is all true but like some have said, many knew it alredy... most are just sucking it up in expectation to see if the game will improve again... I personally can wait but also hoping anet dosn't overstate their promises anymore to the point of the end result being massively dissapointing.
I'm pretty sure they are still gonna murder the hell out of you even if you bow, most people don't use the forums, so i don't think there would be a consessus for "don't attack the guy that bows" for everyone. Best way to go for a PoI is being sneaky, or following a large group once they start taking the a certain area.
Cital of flame (CoF) path 1, do it with a party fast and you'll earn some pretty good money doing it, since it's a fast dungeons and mobs drops per run a good chunk of money, you can make around 90 silver or above per run. The dungeon is fillled with people wanting berserker warriors,guardians and mesmers tough for speedruns.
Another good one is Ascalonian catacombs, it's not as good as CoF, but if you manage to get a drop from colossus rumblus (3rd path end boss) wich can be used to make a jewelry item, you can sell it for 2,50-3 gold. the recipe is rare, but it's cheap to make: 200 tokens (you can get that by doing all 3 AC runs daily) and some orichalcum bars.
There are many other methods but CoF is by far the most popular one (easy too).
