140 bounty for healing a guard?

LuminaLilly · July 2015

So a guard was attacking a player, I healed the guard by mistake because I had the healing staff equipped, with regeneration assigned to the "B" button on xb1.

I mashed B to exit the pause menu then I accidentally hit regen. By luck, a guard was attacking a player near me, I accidently healed him now I got 140 bounty.

This isn't a complaint as much as I wanted to share this. Shouldn't that be more good citizen?

You healed the player, not the guard. Any action you take to help out a criminal player, no matter if it's by accident, incurs a bounty. You have the option to turn the entire system off if you so choose, then you won't even have to worry about it.

Pretty much what what was just said. ^
Besides AFAIK you cannot neither hurt or heal the guards. They have around, what? 256k hp? Yeah. I don't exactly recall if I ever tried to fight them back since I haven't got into this situation yet as many times tho I remember a statement that I've read here on forums that they are unkillable.

Not quite all the way off.

I was questing in a city that you need to clear out to get the "safe phase" and some good guys were fighting some bad mobs. Another player and I engaged them all at the same time I did but I guess he did not have "allow harming of innocents" turned off so he damaged the guard, and since he currently had a HoT on him from me I was also given a bounty.

I am fine with and don't really care, but there is no complete "opt out" 100%.

Makes sense, aiding criminal activities or obstructing police activity results in consequences,
