It provoked defiance in me. “Go on then, tell me my real name and how you plan to get into my world, otherwise I’ll resurrect your friends and use a weak fire spell to slowly burn them, over and over. And then you’ll be next.” Because 8/10 times I’m playing a mage build. And in games like Skyrim where you can mix things up, even my warrior characters are more like Paladins with healing magic included. And destruction magic so I can fling spells at them pesky dragons.

I remember when EverQuest first came out. The guards and NPCs were a bit above the average level of the players in whatever area. This was fine for a day or two. Then players realized they could go back to lower level areas and slaughter all the NPCs and deny access for the new players. So the guards got bumped up a little, but this didn't completely solve the problem, so they bumped them up again. Fast forward a few years... and players would drag world bosses into newbie zones so that the guards would help kill the dragon or whatever. The eventual fix for _that_ problem was creating an exclusion zone for the world bosses.. in other words, as long as the world bosses were inside "their" area, everything was fine. If you pulled a world-boss out, it would warp back to the start and fully reset to full health. What happened next? One guild would get the 'tag' on the world boss before a rival guild could arrive. The rival guild would put all their effort into getting the aggro, then would drag it to the exclusion zone.. The boss would teleport back to its area, reset, and the rival guild would "tag" it and take over.

@@zerobolt9506 There is a limit to what you can do but since all weapons function the exact same way and are one-hit kills, you might as well use your fists which doesn't count as a kill.

Turns out, some NPC have absurd amounts of money you can pickpocket and if they come back to fight you, it's fair game to beat them up.

I typically avoid MMOs but I very briefly had some experience with some random one at some point (I don't remember what it was called) where I experienced something like the "useless guard" skit. Some other players attacked me near the edge of town. Just barely outside of what the game counted as being part of the town, apparently. I went a mere 2 or 3 steps towards a nearby guard expecting it to attack my attackers for fighting in the town. The guard killed ME "for fighting in the town" and ignored them. Some sort of edge case / loophole in the way they coded it. I was put into combat mode automatically for being attacked but I was the only one within range to get aggro from the guards for it.
