It happens to me alot on my hunters (2, each faction). I figure a random bullet hit something small and far away or my pet aggro’d something. Quick fit feign death! Tada.
only if it was… attacking you.
(obv)
it’s entirely possible to just frighten them… they’ll run away and keep you in combat.
in this expansion, most of my combat issues have been sleeping mobs, or running through mobs fighting each other
running past mobs and not killing them?
It’s not a bug, it’s a “feature”

No. It’s for rep so everything dies.

Because being stuck in combat is just a symptom that can be caused by numerous different problems.
They can fix some things that make you get stuck in combat, but they can’t eliminate getting stuck in combat entirely and new things can always crop up to cause it.
i got stuck in combat years ago and couldn’t get out of it ( was on my pally back in MoP) and put a ticket in about it and a GM whispered me and told me i had to log out for 15 mins so the server would pick up i was no longer online and log back in to fix it cuase it was a bug they couldn’t figure out. this is going back some years tho but apparently its still a thing lol
it still happens to me to this day so i either go kill a mob an hope that works or log out for 15-20 mins then back in again
I worked at Activision QA, game testing, and if the bug is not 100% it becomes hard to track. For example, lets say you find a bug in Arena matches. How many matches have you played where the bug happened? What did you do the instant before the bug occurred?
In testing, it is possible to do a hundred arena matches, and do exactly what you reported doing just before the bug hit, and never get it to reproduce. If the bug does happen, then it be logged, the code can be looked at and a fix can be worked on. However, the fix might break ten other things, so it becomes quite a challenge.
everytime it’s happened to me it’s been because somehow i aggroe’d a critter but didn’t kill it with passive cleave. they’d like run away as if feared but then try to chase after me and it just takes forever for a critter to leash, and unfortunately they don’t pop up with a healthbar even in combat.
it’s not that bad on mobile classes like monk or DH, but on something like a warlock i just feel like a sitting duck waiting for the alliance to notice i can’t mount up
I bet that 90% of the time this bug is actually just a roach, crab or spider that was near an aoe and has like 3hp left, but no one ever sees it.
I’ve found about 1/2 of my stuck in combat is a mob glitched out under the ground or in a tree/rock. Sleeping Mobs or stuff in combat with NPC’s is another high % of the cause.
HOW HAVE THEY STILL NOT FIXED THE STUCK IN COMBAT BUG?
No motivation to. It keeps you playing longer if nothing else.
If the bug is too complicated to fix, they could still create a band-aid solution like a /leavecombat command or something. PvP combat drops if you’re out of range or nothing has happened for a certain time.

It happens to me at least like… once per hour of open-world gameplay. Am I cursed?
Maybe, have you heard to a Shaman lately?
When you log on remove the Boon of Bwonsamdi buff. The minions it summons can lock you in combat.
