Well, they could refuse. But there would be a political angle to it they might not (well, apparently do not) want to deal with. Think Snowden and Russia. Serves Russia's cause, but nations friendlier with the US might not want to harbor such a person even if they couldn't/wouldn't extradite... because of the political consequences.

Let's be honest. This is purely a plot device so they can do meaningful things, but don't have to lock you out of an area (Easy in single player, problematic in an MMO environment). They even try to play it up a bit with that one Braves guy in Ul'Dah telling you he hasn't seen you, but to not to stick around lest the Blades/other Braves come.

But, again, MMO. I'm willing to give them leeway here to work under the constraints an MMO environment creates.
