yep me too.. this is such a bummer i was just about to make a new thread about it
this HAS to be a bug, i cant imagine they make something so easily stealable, then not give it immediate reaction and just have everyone else kill you after. other wise its just bad design cause theres literally no way of knowing.
good thing it isnt a main quest, though i read else where that you were suppose to get a key as a reward and that key is part of an other quest or task? im not sure.. sigh.
