field spells etc. - grief tactic

Here is a general caution to those of you who are using field spells, Evs, blade spirits etc at the champion spawns. There is a tactic that players can use to flag off these and then be able to attack you without fear of retribution.

It goes like this:

a. you cast a field spell

b. the griefer goes away, and flags as a criminal (by looting a corpse for example).

c. they wait a minute, and then go through your field. This flags you to them (you attacked them didn't you).

d. now they go invis and wait 'till they are no longer a criminal.

e. they reveal and now (this is the nasty part)
* They are blue to you
* You are grey to them
* They can attack you risk free (no loss of items)
* you cannot attack them freely as they are still blue [not 100% about last point - needs testing]

f. to top it all off, most players go to brit to get ressed. Now they jump out of the dungeon and recall to brit. When you ress - they kill you (u r still grey to them) and take all your items.

Be careful with those spells.... and

if you see someone flagging of field spells etc - GANK THEM as they are about to start griefing.
