Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I landed at Ratchet and there were some flagged alliance sitting at the FP. My Voidwalker was on auto attack and immediately started hitting one of them. I was not flagged for PVP when this happened, though the Ratchet Bruisers killed both my pet and I.

Can you tell if you were flagged for PvP right when your Voidwalker started attacking and that is why the bruisers killed you? I know you weren't flagged before landing in Rachet but you could've been immediately after you landed and your Voidwalker went crazy but it was too quick to tell. Sounds kind of like it's working as intended. Your minion (Which is tethered to your character) is set to aggressive and starts auto-attacking nearby players of the opposite faction who are flagged because they are in hostile territory, which in turn flags you because you're engaging in combat which causes the guards to attack you.

I don't for sure, was just stating what I think is expected behavior.
