[Grizzly Hills] Wounded Skirmishers are not hostile: A Bug Report and Analysis

In the vast and immersive world of Azeroth, the Grizzly Hills region is home to a variety of non-playable characters (NPCs) that add depth and realism to the game. However, a peculiar issue has been observed with the Wounded Skirmishers, a type of NPC found in this region. In this article, we will delve into the current behavior of these NPCs, the expected behavior, and the steps to reproduce the problem.

Currently, the Wounded Skirmishers are not hostile, even though their name is displayed in red. This is a contradictory behavior, as one would expect a red-named NPC to be hostile. Instead, these NPCs simply stand still, even if you walk by them. This behavior is not limited to the Alliance faction; they are also neutral for the Horde.

The expected behavior of the Wounded Skirmishers is that they should be hostile for the Alliance and friendly for the Horde. This is a standard behavior for NPCs in the game, and it is essential for maintaining the game's balance and realism. When an Alliance player approaches a hostile NPC, they should be attacked, and the NPC should behave like any other hostile mob.

While there are not many videos available that demonstrate this behavior for the Alliance side, there is a YouTube video that shows the behavior for the Horde:

Go to the Wounded Skirmisher: Use the /go c id 27463 command to teleport to the Wounded Skirmisher NPC.
Observe the NPC's behavior: Approach the Wounded Skirmisher and observe that they do not attack you.
