Lately I've seen the NPCs doing some new stuff in GVG.
Archers leaving thier posts, knights following you from gank to your guild hall.
Last night even our bodyguard followed the other group in mid fight to the flag stand.
This I've never seen before, is it that I didnt play enough games, or has the AI changed ?

You can see in the picture taken 8:40 min into the fight, our bodyguard following the other group to the flag stand.

Well pre-vod i've never seen anything like that happen before. Anything after VoD is fine though.

I have noticed this too, although not on my team but We once lured the Bodyguard half way to flagstand :/

Tbh this needs fixing.

Seen same too, yes. Ofcourse its helpful from your bodyguard to assist wiping your enemy straight from baseress if they have BG agroed and it decides to follow.

I've seen it happen a couple of times. Last time it happened was on burning isle the bodyguard almost went out to the flagstand early in the game

I'm pretty sure i have seen the knights out far too.

This has been happening for a long time. As far as I remember it has to do with skill queuing. For example: If a Bodyguard has a spell queued to cast on someone but they move out of range before the casting begins then the Bodyguard will continue to follow them out of it's normal area.

Most of the time it will eventually get the spell off, or it's pathing will get it stuck somewhere and it will break agro when you leave radar range, but occasionally it just keeps going.
