Why should it flag at all. It's a trap, not a pet. And the snakes do
kill low-level characters who are not flagged.

There are a lot more rules as far as PvP griefing on PvE servers, did
you try reporting him?

No...I didn't report him. It happened to me on a Pally-alt. I saw the
two 70 tauren hunters standing there, and was intending to ignore
them, but I was busy fighting 2 ogres (I'm hedgehog build, so no
problem) and I did not realize snakes had even engaged the snakes
before they killed my and I saw my PVP flag had come on. The hunters
killed me, not the snakes, but they were damaging me.

I logged out and onto my rogue and caught up with them raiding rebel
camp. I killed one, and then it turned into a big us versus them and
their friends at sentinel hill.

I have other family members who this has happened to since, and it is
my understanding that they did report it. No word on any response yet.

Yeah, I can see why they would have targeted you then. The way it
works is they duel each other, one throws down a snake trap, and the
other triggers the trap, releasing the snakes, and with the 2nd one
being a hunter, just feign death so they attack something else. In
your case however, since you were already fighting ogres, as a
hedgehog pally all they had to do was trigger the trap near you, and
your AoE style of play would have handled the rest. Attacking the
snakes puts on your PvP flag.

As far as responses from GM's on the sort of harassment, they'll never
tell you what they outcome of their investigation is. Some kind of
privacy issue. The only way you'll ever really know if anything
happened is by making a horde alt and putting their names on your
friends list. If you log on and get a message saying they were
removed from your friends list because they no longer exist, then you
know something happened.

The only issue is just how should this be changed. If they change it
so attacking the snakes does not flag you for PvP, it opens up the
possibility of non-flagged players griefing any hunter who happens to
use that trap for some reason. The other option would be to only
allow the snakes to attack mobs and players who are flagged, which
would probably be the best solution.
