I get a bounty on my head and I don't know why

I have a stage 1 vampire doing the vampire hunt dynamic encounter. During the fight I frequently get a bounty on my head despite not having slotted any vampire skill. Today I just stood around at the place where the encounter starts and got a bounty. Weird!

    Was this happened near the end near the shrine? I think it will be fixed in the next major update.

    There are a couple of Lion Guard folks near the end of that encounter. If anyone aggros them, then bounty. I believe they're supposed to be (re)moved with Update 51, but just be careful with your AoEs and heals (heal someone who's aggro'd a guard and get a bounty for your trouble).
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    When I have done that Glenumbra encounter, I have gotten a bounty over have the time. I just ignore it now. If the bounty is still there when I encounter a guard, I pay the bounty and don't think twice about it.

    If you're getting a bounty at the starting location, that is weird. Usually it's the rogue Lion Guard at the trash mob spawn right before the final lair that does it. Maybe Nimineh just really has it out for vampires. :D

    If you heal someone with a bounty, apparently that makes you an accomplice in this game. So avoid healing strangers.

    - An ancient vampire lord: tries to do evil stuff.
    - An immortal guard with god-like power: stays idle.
    - A random player: heals an injured comrade during the battle against an ancient evil.
    - The same guard: stop right there, you criminal scum.
