Dear PWI,

Please stop switching my toons to white names. I do not like to PK and I never would put my toons white named, and yet when I log in I find my toons in PK mode. Yesterday it was my veno today my psy. If you are trying to tick me off it's working! If you know about this issue then fix it! But PLEASE stop switching me!

Thank you a Non-PK player.

P.S. If you going to say someone else that has my info. is doing it then NO. No one but me has my info, it's always been that way.

    If you're aoeing mobs that are near an NPC so that you hit that as well, you'll find yourself with pink name for a short time.. If you log out while this lasts, you'll be in PK mode when you log back on. Maybe that's what happened?

    There is a setting which prevents you turning into pk mode

    This is one of the tricks venos do just before they port into the Lycaeum of cultivation. That instance only works in PvP mode. Another reason to do this for the caravan at stronghold in primal.

    yep, if you switch to white you need to wait until you can switch back and by using this trick you don't. As soon as you're done with the instance or the caravan daily you just turn back blue and done.

    Well since I wasn't anywhere near an NPC when I logged out and I wasn't pink from hitting an NPC that was not it. I was in fact in my homestead, logged off and switched to another toon did dailies and logged off for lunch. When I logged back in later that night I was white named. AND the reason I don't want to be white named is because people will bug the crud out of you when you are trying to do dailies and thing. And the crying, wining and PK drama is stupid, I rather not mess with any of that! I don't like PK and don't want to be white named. If I get switched to white named and don't notice then when I'm doing dailies on 2 screens lets say I might end up dead when I switch back and forth. That means going back to town and flying out to what I was doing, wasting my time. Plus I had that stupid 10 hour thing on my toon so it's not even like I could just switch back!(I think it was 10 hours?) People don't care if you are busy doing things, after all if you are white named you are fair game! I'm cool with that since I stay blue named...UNTIL PWI switch me that is!

    Just fix it PWI.

    No one has. 1 person complaining = user error.​​

    I've been trying to recreate the OP's issue. Only way I can so far as blue name is to have my harpy AoE on the NPCs in the veno Lycaeum instance to turn pink named then log out and back in. Other than that I can't replicate the issue.

    Must be user error somehow

    Well mate, you seem to be the only person having this issue. Maybe stop blaming game for own user errors. Not everything is their fault.​​

    on the other hand ... beeing white named doesnt automatically correspond to getting the shizzle bashed out of you.

    im actually doing my dailies white everytime, tying to get some fights... guess what? ---> doesnt happen ( and my gears are ****)
