When I went through there two days ago, the Tauren standing between the lifts was neutral/yellow and could not be attacked/ did not attack me. I don’t understand how you could have flagged.

There is another tauren off to the side who will aggro
If you stay to the left it won’t.
Exactly… 10char
It sure is a bug. Blizz stated they would ensure this could not happen. Fill in a bug report. But you signed a charter on character create saying that a death is a death and no exceptions, come hell or high water. So while I feel for your loss and agree with your righteous anger, nothing can be done to the dead character.
Very well could be. I’ve been attacked by these guys on regular Era and so long as I don’t engage back I have never gotten flagged.
I’ve been chased by these guys and haven’t been flagged. I’ve been hit by these guys and flagged immediately.
if a flagged guard attacks you, you could very well get flagged. maybe sometimes you get lucky and you won’t, but you can. and it makes total sense, you’re not supposed to be near these guys unless you wanna do some PvP 
if you have any kind of ability/talent that reacts to people hitting you, this is most likely triggering the flag.

This would be the reason then, or a pet on defensive. Take precautions and don’t get flagged.
I’ve never gotten flagged with these guys, and have been through that lift numerous times over the years. Even when they have beaten on me. Living a charmed life?
As it stands on HC, the guy between the lifts is neutral.
More have reported Guards not attacking, but now flagging instead in HC. It sure is a bug.

If the guards aren’t attacking, how are they flagging people for PvP?
The guy is a red mob so I’m not sure people would expect him not to attack and you can just use the lift furthest from him to have it be a non-issue.
Blizzard can’t hold everyones hand. It’s the same had OP walked over to Crossroads expecting the town guards not to engage.
and there it is lol.
Another “bug” broken down to people just not understanding the mechanics of the game.

Yeah was gonna add that on my numerous trips through Dun Algaz (the tunnels between Wetlands and Loch Modan) with the stunties smacking me (confirmed they are making contact/doing damage) the only times I’ve been flagged is with reactive abilities running (specifically Thorns, Lightning Shield and lolShadowguard) or pet not on passive.
Weird that people are reporting differing experiences at the Lift after one of the braves there had their con specifically changed.

In order to make the guards not attack, Blizz did something to the guards. Some of them now flags you whether you attack them or not. It is a bug, and it only is like this in HC realms, not in Era.
It's not a bug.
It’s clear as day. Noone said you have to attack them just be in their aggro range is sufficient.
Exactly. That we risk losing our character due to death, stupidity, or disconnect. It was right there in the agreement. If there were appeals, we wouldn’t be playing HC, would we? It’s the risk that makes it fun.
It’s not a bug, PVE servers have always worked this way.
Because he attacked them somehow and is lying about it. That’s what will happen if there’s ever an appeal system (and there won’t be).
People lie. People make things up. People will abuse any system Blizz puts in place.
Players need to read and understand the thing they sign when they make a character. Life isn’t fair. Hardcore isn’t fair sometimes. Deal with it.
