Unexplained drop in faction - any ideas?

I went into Newport to turn in some tokens. Both my guard and citizen faction was at the same level, amiable. I found out that citizens still love me, but guards glower at me for no apparent reason. I did not kill guards, or did anything wrong to my knowledge. This is the second time this happens, both times knocking me down to dubious on my Cleric Saiya. The first time I said "oh well, i'll just start over" but this time I am ready to give up on pursuing the necklace...

My druid who is more or less at the same faction level has both citizens and guards at amiable. I asked on IRC a few times in the last week but got no response, and I am not sure I can buglist something like this, when I have no idea of what caused the bug.

:(

The necklace is acheived by maxxing out citizen faction, iirc. In the which case, you shouldn't have to bat an eye at your guard faction, though it is a little annoying. It could be as simple as your having healed or buffed someone in newport who proceeded to kill a guard =/.
 
Only people I buffed or healed there are newbie warriors for the arena challenge, and it was long before the drop happened. I am thinking maybe you get faction hits from just being close to people that kill guards, because I once saw a bard killing guards near the bank, but that too was a long time ago. :?
 
Actually this happened to Rabb too. His citizen faction is near ally, but his guard faction was near dubious. I attributed it to normal tokens not raising guard faction, but honestly, I don't know if it was a magical bump down. You could buglist it, yeah, but it's sort of a fishy sounding bug. I don't know what to tell you!
 
Druid and cleric had same faction, amiable with both guards and citizens. Now cleric is suddenly dubious to guards and amiable to citizens. Druid is amiable with both same as before...

If the said bard was high enough to have any of his AE songs, and if one of them hit you while he was killing them, then yes, you might have gotten a faction hit for that. (This wouldn't happen today, however.)

Regardless, it being too hard to pin down where it might have happened, it's rather fishy to fix it. (In addition, AFAIK, unintentional aids like this have always been accepted as valid: I've seen the same thing happen with Wizard pets in group helping to heal a group member who killed a guard (the AE regen thing) and the Wizard got a hit: the GM who responded to petition said it was "working as designed")
 
i had over amibly with citizens iirc and indiferent with guards,after the faction patch i got to indiff with both.Pretty annoyin to lose neck and have to work it all over again,which im doing atm :(
 
weird something similar is up with my guy. i'm ally to citizens but at best i'm apprehensive to the guards. i'm just glad the guards don't have anything to do with telling me if i can have a gate neck :)
