these things attack me and almost kill me and im NOT pvp or on a pvp server? is there any way to stop this happening or is it some 'soon to be addressed' game play bug/abuse?

This is 1 of the Traps that a Hunter Drops, 1st Enemy that approaches it causes it to release the snakes. They don't do "massive" damage but they cause a Poison Effect that stacks.
Just a tool in the BG's. Several Hunters dropping different types of traps. Distracts a healer to make him "cure poisons" or keep throwing heals until the effect wears off.
I don't use them that often, any of the AoE classes, 1 burst & all the snakes are dead. They are useful against Rogues, Poison effect keeps them out of stealth. Rogues can also disable them if they have that ability or they see them & just avoid them.
I personally prefer the explosive trap if there are a bunch of attackers or the Immolation trap if there is just 1.

I'm unflagged on a PVE realm and horde $%^&*!@s are hitting me with these. Killing the snakes doesn't flag me, but the trick they're pulling is to drop them at flight points so when you land, if you don't happen to be watching the screen during a long flight, you're dead when you check next.
Neat exploit on PvE realms, and I'll clap as soon as I (as a rogue) get a poison punji stick trap so that I can do the same thing.

snakes traps can kill low-level unflaged players. even if in a non-pvp mode. im an orc hunter and got the trap @lvl 68. later i went to sentinel hill for some gankin and dropped the trap by a unflagged group of lowbies fighting monsters. well the unflagged players did not release the trap but the monster they were fighting did. and they all died to my amusment. its a bug in the program that allows it to happen. im sure wow will correct it but its funny as hell to get enemies when they think theyre safe. so go KILL KILL KILL! while you can. just remember that unflagged players will not open trap even if they step on it. the trap must be open by something else like a near-by monster or guard. then run up to unflagged player and the snakes will attack while following you. if you have a group with you, dual one another while near some noobs and drop a snake trap and have ur friend that ur dueling step on it and let lols begin.
