Pathing Highpass Gnoll Issue

[patfan5480]

I posted this in the petitions forum too in order to see if I could get a rez, but I think I may have encountered some sort of issue with the Highpass Gnolls. I'm wondering if anyone has run into this before.

So I'm on the path in Highpass between the gate and the zone line to the Karanas. I'm killing a Gnoll Champion in the path by itself, no other Gnolls anywhere near us. As the Gnoll is about halfway dead, all the sudden what looked like every single Gnoll in the zone suddenly appeared in the path on top of us and wrecked me.

Before I pulled the Gnoll Champion I specifically looked around everywhere to make sure he was not in aggro range of anyone else. There wasn't a single Gnoll nearby and when I pulled him, there were no adds. I pulled him back into the path away from the gate to avoid any wanderers (and had also killed the wandering spawn in the path beforehand to ensure that one wouldn't aggro).

This seems to me like some sort of bug. How else would like 5 or 6 Gnolls suddenly teleport to us and aggro me? I didn't stand a chance of course and lost my level...very frustrating.

There were also no players nearby, so it wasn't a train. And they didn't come running from a direction anyway (like they would if they'd been trained) they essentially just showed up on top of me all at once.
