I can only speak for myself.. I was target assisting my team only. No one in the defense channel said anything about using them as a target for the heal pod so it was not used in general. If it had been, BM would have removed themselves from the battle. There were also neutral players in the OP when we were holding it but I never really paid them any mind.
There was a battle that I attended as neutral, I made it a point to move out of the mages and healers way though they kept coming around me. Perhaps just a gentle reminder to neutrals (many of them non-experienced players) to move is all that is needed. If they do not, then that could be taken as a sign of exploiting and would be reportable according to the guidelines.
Just a thought :-)
