It has been soooooo long since I have grouped with anything but a pet. I have a question. If two players group, approch a lair, and one player takes a shot at a critter, does the other player get agroed if he just stands there?

Not usually, assuming the lair critters aren't aggressive.
In a group, I can approach a bol lair, dance around, sit and meditate, write email, survey, go AFK and eat dinner, ... ( you get the idea ) and the bols attacked will only aggro against the attackers.
With aggressive critters, this behavior is pretty much true, but in addition the aggressive critters might decide to aggro you just because they're aggressive and haven't been attacked by anyone.

Thanks, I kinda thought that was the case but then I wonder what the DEVs reasoningis now in treating pets differently when in a group? I think it should be no different.If I'm in a group and Itell my player buddy to "shoot the critter", I watch him get agroed not me. If I'm in a group with my pet andtell my pet buddy to "attack"the critter, I should watch him get agroed and not me. I really think that makes sense. What actually happens does not make sense

thats a good point, and maybe thats where the game is heading. if a mob gets angry they just go berserk and attack everything within sight.
if that happened i wouldn't be mad about the change, seeing as it would be the new normal

"the new normal" I don't know why that makes me laugh but it does and I'm stealing your phrase!!!

But they aren't attacking everything in sight. They ignore the pets and only attack the CH. It would make more sense if they attacked the closest 'group' member.
