Getting corruption level 1 for helping others (not corrupted) is not the right thing !!!

Hi Guys,

I am really frustrated, because there seems to be a problem with the corruption system. Here my case:

I am a healer and I was traveling around the area. I see a person fighting a mob (spider or grem) and I recognized that this person was in trouble with low health and does really need some assistance. As a healer, it is my conviction to help and so I started to provide some heals to that person. Sadly my aid cames to late and the person died, because of the dmg he was getting... but with the death of that person, I was getting red flagged with corruption level 1... and I after my own death I dropped some Items for being corrupted.

- this happend to me twice (yesterday and today)
- the other player was not flagged for pvp, nor I was
- both players (me and the other one) had a neutral status (white color)
- we both were not in party

I have no problem with doing something wrong and getting corrupted status... but I do have a problem with getting punished for trying to help other players...

In both cases I dropped some white gear... nevermind... but later in the game, if I will dropp some good stuff, this would be ridiculous...

Is this really the way this corrpution system should be?

best regards

    That's clearly a bug.

    I'm sorry but you actually killed the poor fella. They probably could have survived if not for your trying to help.

    There is a bug that's causing healing abilities to deal damage under certain conditions, which is what happened to you.

    This happened to me as well. I was just healing and resurrecting others near a mob spawn point. I wasn't grouped and didn't see any other combatants or corrupted players, just there to heal. Then all of a sudden, I was corrupted and promptly killed by another player.
