I knew I should have qualifed what I was saying more. What I was talking
about is NOT killing guards in the newbie zones, but actually going into the
city zone. This is something completely different and much more dangerous,
especially when the ninja shopkeepers join in. I saw one of these Ninja
Merchants kill a Hill Giant in East Karana last (I have no idea how the
fight started). She was double punching the HG for 132 yikes!
