Treasure Chests and 'in combat' bug?

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I’m not 100% sure this is a bug. However, I’m pretty sure I used to stealth in and ‘steal’ treasure chests from someone of the other faction while the person was clearing nearby mobs.

Now the issue I’m experiencing in Classic: Whenever anyone is fighting a mob nearby a treasure chest, I will become tagged for ‘in combat’ when trying to open the chest. Basically, it’s impossible to open a chest if anyone is fighting a mob nearby.

I can see how this may be something implemented to counter the ‘theft’ of chests. But this wasn’t part of Vanilla AFAIK. Is it a bug, or something Blizzard deliberately implemented? It’s sorta annoying, as it just causes people to stand next to the chest and spam right-click on it, waiting to become ‘out of combat’.

I don’t remember that either but who knows. Perhaps I just didn’t loot many chests back then.

Well, yeah it seems you get into combat with mobs you have nothing to do with. Like someone walks by on mount with a train of mobs, and then they aggro yuo for no reason. %¤#&
