Hi,

I was afk in Snowy Village (within the safe zone and not in PK mode, surrounded by lots of people), and when I checked in about 15-20 mins later, I was killed.
Damage log says I was killed by a Frost Fairie, which spawned nowhere near me (esp. since I was in safe zone).

This happen to anyone else? And anyone know why/how it happened?

    Sounds like a suicide lure.

    I've never tested it, but apparently if certain mobs kill you they will immediately aggro anybody nearby. I've seen piles of bodies floating at altitude 79 above World Quest destinations, presumably because somebody with a slow mount aggro'd a Cyannair Specter and then went afk.

    Yeah. That happens quite a lot lately. Someone lures a boss or mob into town to AoE everyone into oblivion. Unfortunately the AFK folk like you were are defenseless while on the ground. I would guess to those idiots who do that the gratification must be better than sex.
    I **** bigger than you...

    Shut up and play the game.....Damn
