Seems to me all your doing is killing time raising your postcount while at work or something, nobody in any fashion in this thread has verified this problem exists. The OP said the guy hauled off... Until this (in)ability has been verified it doesn't exist and this thread taken it's own turn. If this problem exists it may not even be a bug and "working as intended". You have 13 posts in this thread and don't even know if this inability to heal neutrals while tagged is possible, you stated yourself you have never been to an OP fight...

Just participating in a thread, and I couldn't care less about my post count. I am certainly entitled to my opinion, as are you, and I'm simply discussing the matter with the information presented.

I have not taken the stance that it was definitely a bug, but that it sounds like it was overlooked, and may very well be. If it's working as intended, that's fine with me.

I'm not exactly sure why you felt the need to reply in such a manner, unless you are attempting to goad me into a flame fest. I hope not, for I have enjoyed reading many of your posts, and I'd much rather be civil.

This stuff happens everyday on Atys, why post a whinging post about it. It happens to us all, some people are curtious others are not.

Good to point out maybe neutrals should be able to be healed by the attacking or defending team, but surely its right to say they should be in battle and not healing neutrals so why would it need to be changed.

What if it was your teammate running to join in the battle, strayed into a patch of aggro and got killed, but never quite reached the battle zone or never managed to click that button to choose a side? Maybe hung up on "Please Wait", maybe linkdead, who knows? Plain silly, isn't it?

Has anyone contacted a GM and asked about this?

If it's intentional, then an official response with the reason might help.

If it's unintentional, then getting it fixed would be nice.

Other than that... /shrug

. After choosing a side in an OP battle, either: neutral, attack or defense. Healing will operate as following:
If one choose neutral, he can only heal neutral players
If one choose to defend, he can only heal defenders
If one choose attack, he can only heal attackers

So it's an intentional feature, which means those of us who believe it's a bad feature have a right to complain about it :p
