If only Garent and his men would then loot their kills so players arent getting free loot.
The problem with adding more NPC's to any given area is that I think it will add lag. Thus it would be counter productive for Leanthar and the content team to add them negating all they do every day to try and reduce lag for us players.
Leanthar has said it a hundred times... we are doing things that are not meant to be done with this game engine.
If their is a way to get city guards with out increasing lag of course I'm all for it. But I see these New NPC guards becoming a mess... after each time something is dragged into town they will rush and fight it then stand their afterwards. Right in the middle of the road, or a door way and whatever.... Solution? give them way points like Garent... ah ha! more lag.

so back to square one.
That happens now with Talon and Amen (Hlints Healer) they are always off somewhere from whre they last fought monsters.
Even waypoint creatures get silly. Erag goes into the Inn and even back into the kitchen area... and Vale the mailman he seems to like to spend time in the craft house these days.
So city guards working on waypoints that are all getting sloshed at the Inn instead of guarding the city from monsters drug in by would be adventurers isnt much help.
