Tell that to the trolls I was actively pounding on who insisted on going after my boars instead. I don't think this was always the case, because they did seem to try to get to me first when I first started playing, but ever since they reworked how raid mobs target players, this seems to have changed. They consistently go after my tames first, which makes me guess they go after whatever they're closest to in terms of aggro.

They switch targets AFTER they actually see them. It's why you should always build a stable and keep them inside.
In my castle, they pound on the wall to get to me, but never go for anything else after i actually go out there and fight them.

Is your wall just a palisade? It needs to be at least 8 meters to keep a troll out.
