Apparently Mages can use aoes in booty bay/gadget without aggroing guards. Was just killed by one doing the frost rain thing.

Were they AoEing you through any kind of obstruction/wall/roof/barrier between you and the mage? If so, that's abusing an in-game bug and action can be taken against the player.

Nope, I was sitting on the bench in the tavern and they were standing behind me at the door.

I've read that some guards are scripted like mobs, i.e.: they won't attack a hostile player unless they're close enough in their aggro range. Were any guards close to the mage or were they far away?

In Gadget (where it happened) there's a guard just to the right of the door, more than enough in range to aggro.

Ah, then you got me. No idea.

There are a lot of people taking advantage of this "bug" now, alliance and horde alike.
