Were you in an active battle city? Guards are only removed from cities where there is an active battle.thanks @Kyronix , i'm starting to get the hang of it.
Couple quick bugs/issues i wanted to point out:
i got guard wacked and went stat while in VvV
Since myself and all my guild mates are green, i cannot tell if i am grey, my guild mates are grey, or they are red. Said guard wack happened because i healed a red guildmate that i didn't know was red, in a guard zone. Any way of doing something different with that?
Did you actively join VvV? Or were you just a participant from healing your VvV guildmate?
