A tame terror
Stitches is one of the most notorious NPCs in the Eastern Kingdoms and has taken down countless unsuspecting players in Duskwood. Since the current beta build, though, he has been unusually calm: instead of patrolling the zone as a hostile elite, he stands there neutral and leaves passers-by alone.
Blizzard confirms the bug
Players quickly noticed the change on social media, and an answer followed soon after: Principal Game Designer Johnny Cash confirmed that Stitches should not be neutral and that the bug is being fixed.
Until then the terror of Duskwood stays tame. If you would like to explore the zone without him, now is a good chance.
