really a RR5 Celt?... was he a level 50 that made it into Thid....?
This occurred as a leftover character from the Mythic Event a couple months ago. They had a 'open Thidranki' night, where any character level, including L50s, could come to Thid via a special NPC teleporter. This same sort of event has more often occurred for Cathal Valley.
As you know, when a character levels up higher than the allowed level of a battleground, when they log out (assuming they are not killed and /release) they will be ported out of the battleground to their main border keep upon login.
However, for some reason, this action does not take into account characters that are already level 50. I am not sure how it affects sub-50's. What this person did is simply log out at the end of the night of the event and not log back onto that toon until the night in question.
I am guessing that a flag is not set for that character until the NEXT time they log in, whereupon it then checks the level of the character.
A few weeks ago I logged in my Air/Earth Thurgy (RR7L4-ish) and proceeded to enjoy myself out there. After the first couple of kills, I decided I should not act offensively against enemy realm members due to the obvious ganking I could dish out. I went around mezzing, rooting, and de-hasting enemies and casting DA/haste on realm-mates. This lasted about an hour and a half.
This all went well until a group of 4 (or 5) Hibbies decided to give chase and I was foolish enough to stick around. I purposefully avoided casting pets or nukes in an attempt to just make it back to the CK. I blew all my defensive toys before I decided that they were not going to let up, but by then it was too late. A group of Albs showed up about 10 seconds too late to help me and I just had to /release back to the PvE border keep.
About 10 minutes later a CSR had a conversation with me saying I was observed being in a location that I should not have been. However, I had not hacked my way in, I simply had not left when the event was over. If the system were to work correctly, there should be a level check for *ALL* characters upon login. Applying this to all the battlegrounds would remedy this from happening again.
