Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.

When a caster class casts a spell on you, whether you are in party or not, you will automatically target that player if you are not currently targeting anything else. For example, you are standing idle waiting for the Behest NPC to appear and not targeting anything. A member of your party casts Protect on all party members and you are now targeting that party member. You cancel the targeting, and they then cast Shock Spikes, which again targets that casting player.

A large problem with this would be "griefing" if you are awaiting a Notorious Monster to appear. Several people could target another player and cast spell after spell, requiring that person to continually cancel while another player pulls the NM. This could also be used to unfairly keep someone out of a behest if there were more players than the capacity near the NPC.

Please let me know if you require more information.
