I asked this on another message board but I really want an answer so I figured I'd ask here too

The other night me and 2 of my friends were running around hunting all sorts of mobs between Anchorhead and Wayfar.

Periodically throughout the night I would get messages saying 'It is unwise to help such a patient' when I had just healed them like 2 mins before.

Last night me and a friend were duoing the same area when I started to notice a pattern:

We ran upon 4 humanoid mobs-2 nomads and 2 scavengers. As I was killed the scavengers he killed the nomads. It was at THAT moment in time in which I could no longer heal him (we haven't been able to time it out exactly how long I couldn't heal him). By the time we got back to Anchorhead and shuttled to Bestine I was able to heal him again.

I know the nomads are on Townspeople faction and that the scavengers are Thug faction.. I have negative factions for both and my friend has negative Thug and positive Townspeople.

Please tell me killing certain NPC mobs shouldn't result in TEFs making it so that people in the same group are unable to heal each other. The first night it happened we couldn't even trade anything while this TEF was going on ('You cannot trade with people of opposite faction') which was really annoying since he had died because I couldn't heal him.

I regularly group with these people and we are in voice chat all the time but its really frustrating to see them die because I can't heal them over some TEF. Nobody has joined the Reb/Imp faction so it really shouldn't be that TEF..
