Just curious here. IF the "warfront" is suppose to be pve. Why are we flagged pvp when we go to Arathi Highlands for the opening quest? As soon as I got back to Zandalar the pvp flag was removed. But, if it's pve, why flag in the first place?

Considering all the times blizzard has tricked pve players into pvp play, makes me wonder about this time. For example, why are we flagged pvp when we question Magistrix Carinda (an NPC) for the quest Arelion's Secret he attacks us and we're flagged pvp. Why? He's, as I said, an NPC. What part of that is pvp play? There are other quests that does the same thing, one in Stonetallon Mountain, Is This Justice? where the [npc=42050] orders us to kill the son of the village chief. When we confront him of the fact the son was not a traitor to the Horde he goes berserk and attacks us, flagging us pvp.

So, I have little confidence this isn't another way Blizzard has found to trick pve players into playing pvp.

I'm sure many pvp players will find offense to this post and some will down vote it as they have several posts such as this in the past. Small minds that can't deal with someone else having an opinion that contradicts their own. I thank all those pvp players who read it, don't agree with it and scroll on leaving it for the pve players who do agree with it to read. Thank you. Sadly, not everyone will. Even though there isn't a thing I wrote that's not accurate.
