Friendly NPCs are injured by player attacks

Hi,
picture the following situation:
You enter a PvE Questing zone overrun with enemies (for example Seaside Sanctuary in Greenshade). There are clusters of friendly NPCs fighting enemy NPCs. You attack an enemy because that's what you, the player, are supposed to do.

What I EXPECT to happen (and what I think used to be the case?!) is that under these specific circumstances it does not matter if you accidentally hit the friendly NPC with an ability. They will not take damage, the justice system will not be triggered and they will not attack you in return.
What IS happening, is that friendlies take damage from me, I get massive bounty/attack on sight from guards and either gotta kill them or run away from the fight completely.

Did ZoS change the behaviour because it's more realistic or is it a bug? Because honestly, it kinda sucks to quest like this. :'D

    If they have a yellow aura around them, that means they are neutral npcs, those can still be attacked. turn on "prevent attacking innocents" in your gameplay settings and that should help.

    @codestripper Hm, but I really think it didn't used to be like this? Been playing the game on-and-off for 4 years (always with PAI off) and never had the "Murder" achievement before. Now since ~4 nights I'm the worst criminal :cold_sweat:

    Turned it on now tho, if that fixes it I was just very lucky all this time :D

    Yeah I can only think of a very small amount of places where this is the case. idk though, hopefully that helps.
