Appearently, in SS, the devs forgot that beastlords are supposed to be on amiable to animals faction like druids and rangers. There's plenty of evidence to support the fact that we are supposed to be.
I assume we could dig up the patch message that made it so, and I can name a dozen mobs offhand from many zones who are on the right faction.
Quote from: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches-2002-1.html- Made some adjustments to factions to make Beastlords, Druids and
Rangers (as well as small adjustments for Vah Shir) a little better
liked by animals (those that don't adhere to a faction)
A Bloodthirsty Wolf (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=11698) DSP
a lion patriarch (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=374) EK
a sabertooth tiger (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=3976) LOIO
That should be plenty of evidence to remind them of the faction issues.
Already brought it up, but extra information is always welcome. 8)
Hoping to hear something soon, so we'll see. *shrugs*
Did you tell them about Vah Shir also? (as listed in Hakaaba's post) :)
You already have sneak, stop being greedy. 8P

The most recent example I can think of would be the animals in Nedaria's Landing.
The zone was added between the release of LDoN (09/2003) and GoD (02/2004) and the bear caves helped quite a few besties through the 30's. The grizzlies are amiable to BST, RNG and DRU but any other class coming near them pulls the whole cave (I've watched that many times. I was XP'ing there when they punted the bears from one cave and put the entrance to the new Forgotten Halls in there, attracting quite a crowd for a while).

Says the man who got his xp penalty removed! :-D
I got the exp penalty from killing things removed.
The "xp penalty" from getting too close to other factions(non-animals) and getting put into the floor though, that one is still there. 8P
