[Exploit] WvW Invulnerability
This is a bug, only in that the players should be invulnerable above the bluff and once they joined the field of play, they are now in legitimate combat. The only real solution currently, is to pull back from the invulnerable area.
I have been on both sides of this boundary. Line it up with the bluff edge. You are either in play, or not, not in protected limbo.

Did you check out the screenshots? They may show that these players are in protected limbo. Click on the “here” in my first post, it will take you to my dropbox album where you can view the screenshots. I’ll see about making and posting a youtube video if necessary.
I did look at your shots. The first time I saw this situation in person, I had to think hard about what is wrong with this picture. It’s like the whole group of spawners become thieves, jump out, pull, barrage, blast, scepter, nuke with impunity, and the boldest dive out, engage in combat, and then … retreat to “invulnerable limbo”. Often accompanied by various emotes. Best to back off to the supply camp while “watching” cautiously.

The intention is obviously that once you drop down from your home base, you shouldn’t be able to return to it unless it’s through a designated base entrance. Even if it doesn’t fit the precise definition of ‘bug’, it clearly isn’t working as intended.
