Then, I joined a different team (of 4 as well, including me) to fight the Kraken in Perez Park... same thing. Started running all over the place, got on top of the trees and had to follow it all over the place.

I believe I understand what this mechanic is for... if there's a bunch of minions, someone nukes the group and one of them is left standing, then by all means... run away!

But when a team of 4 (lvl 29 for the event, and lvl 44 for the Kraken) are fighting AVs and Monsters, they shouldn't start running all over the place when have barely even put some damage on them.
I noticed that too and was going to post about it. It seems the AVs and EBs in the summer event will constantly run usually when someone on the team has a pet of some sort whether it is a mastermind or controller with a pet or 2. In the gladiator arena at least once the god champion ran all the way to the other side of the map and jumped up to the top of the pillar in front of the NPC spectators. 1 team mate the other day said it has something to do with no tank or anyone else on the team having some sort of taunting ability or powers that cause taunt. Although taunt may have something to do with it I doubt that is the only reason. I have a brute with taunt and I can taunt an enemy multiple times and it will keep running from me.

I've noticed in regular missions while solo that enemies seem to run more from my mastermind than my other characters.

Ok definetly stupid new AI somebody has too much time on there hands ...

Cause mobs run away around less then 25% health left , without even debuffs on them .
This happens especially played on x2 or higher .

It is getting a bit frustrating chasing bosses minions LT .. whatever down .
Or waiting for them to come back , no definetly not a too high DEF problem .
Since my dark armour has very little def while leveling .
Also seems they run off if you use too much inspirations , or they take too much damage per second .
Or they see too many of there fellows die while less then 25% hp .
Even gauntlet (or brute equilevant) doesn´t bring them back , they just stand still for a second , then run off again .
