NPC mobs not agro

[BadgerWI]

I don't know where to put this, if it's a known issue I don't want to clog up the Bug page. I logged on for the first time last night starting as a Chosen. The NPC's only reacted when attacked. Is this normal behavior? Is it the same on all tiers? It's 5 years since I played the game so it could be how it is supposed to be, or this could be a known bug. Just curious.

You'll notice the mobs in the starting areas have orange names, as opposed to red. NPCs with orange names are attackable but will not proximity aggro unless attacked, I assume it's to make it easier on the newbies and is intended.

If you make your way to the next questing hub you'll see that nearly all mobs aggro on promixity.
