Exploit: Summoning infernal on non-flagged players in Cenarion Hold causes guards to attack non-flagged players

I don’t know about light’s hope but being attacked in goblin towns doesn’t cause the guards to jump in on murdering you. They actually protect you.

Depends on your reputation actually, as per Blizzard’s own post:

• Guards will now correctly be more willing to assist players in PvP combat who have Friendly or higher standing with them. However, they will continue to not assist players with Neutral standing.
• Corrected an issue that was causing Onyxia to fail to clear the threat of the primary target of her Fireball ability.

Anyway the infernal exploit needs to be fixed.

Given it is an combination of order-of-operations flagging with the unique PvP flagging behavior of an Infernal, a fix is unlikely and it really isn’t much of an exploit.
