Why can't you kill guards?

Why can't you kill guards? its not fair they keep killing me. Why do they have unlimited health

They are there to prevent killingof npc's or stealing again and again. This is the justice system, either steal and kill npcs discreetly or rack up a bounty. At a certain stage of accumulating so much bounty, you will be considered as a fugitive - kill on sight by these guards.

They are working as intended. You are not suppose to kill them by yourself.

They can be killed, but it's meant to be a huge elitist scattered "group" thing to kill, if ever. They have like 4,000,000 HP as I recall.
If you have stolen items, try to get to a refuge for thieves outside of the cities (sometimes inside them), and sell off or Launder any stolen items. They won't attack you any further.
If you killed an innocent, you need to wait for a few hours outside of Guard area and the bounty will go away on its own.

Even then they are unkillable. Their health will not go to 0. This is so the justice system has some bite.

You can't kill them because they are Agent Smith in disguise.

The reason they are invincible is because they designed the Justice System to be fun yet tough. They are invincible because a a whole bunch of VR14 players will group up together, and loot everything in town and steal everything and be able to kill guards with ease. Making it incredibly easy to get tons of gold, and plus it will be good for trolling because no one else will be able to steal anything at all because all the high level players are just looting and killing guards with no consequence.

If this were a single player game then they would be killable, but it's just not feasible in an MMO. You have to steal and pickpocket stealthily and kill people without getting caught, and you will go from Upstanding - Disreputable - Notorious - Fugitive. Where you can attempt to flee from guards and they will chase and try to kill you or pay your bounty.

But it is a lot of fun. And they will be adding PvP style to the Justice System eventually where you can go and kill enemy players who have bounties and act like a guard.
