When getting attacked by (not attacking) an enemy NPC, you will be flagged for PvP instantly. This appears to be a bug that goes against the spirit of the intention of hardcore.
Please fix ASAP!

Might want to review the rules. They do state that aggroing enemy npcs will still flag you. So it’s working as intended. Alternative would be to allow alliance to picnic in Thrall’s chamber.

you shouldn’t be anywhere near enemy guards, simple as that
I saw a lot of death alerts today of lvl 30+ people dying this way, tsk tsk

Lmfao. These forums are as bad as Reddit. Kids who’ve never played the game offer up their piss-tier opinions.
PS. The devs literally implemented a hot fix for this exact problem. Nice try, “Eyr”

This was a bug introduced with the hardcore servers. Examples from a few months ago of players not getting flagged from being hit by a guard on Era servers:
It’s important to note that attacking an enemy faction NPC will still flag you even if you haven’t typed /pvp, so steer clear of settlements of the opposing faction!
It’s unclear whether running near an enemy faction NPC is considered attacking or not. From what I’ve read, these NPCs will still chase you. Such as Longrunner at The Great Lift.
I would expect the game considers myself walking into Crossroads as an attack. Even I’ve not drawn my sword or raised my shield.
However, they did add the part to steer clear of them.
If you try that guards will instantly kill you lol…
There’s a difference.
Guards must still hit and try to kill you if you are on their agro range but that shouldn’t flag you as pvp for other people of the opposite faction to be able to kill you too.

It is not just NPCs near other faction towns.
Just got flagged by “private Thorsen” roaming around north stranglethorn. FAR away from any Alliance town or camp.
so watch out for any flagged patrols whats the big deal
i just got done doing several quests in swamp of sorrows. avoiding the orc guards was the least of my concerns.
