Is there a reason the guards are invincible?

    Make it so only Veteran Ranks can kill guards. Make killing guards add 2000 to the bounty. Everyone would still have to pay the bounty eventually anyway because merchants won't interact with them. Killing the guards would just be for getting their asses out of the way when you're trying to do a mission or just leave town when wanted.

    2000 is pocket change to some players with 10 million or more. Heck one guy I know has a 10 million bounty.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    How mahy threads have you made bashing ESO XD

    The guards need to be invincable for balance and to stop exploiting, so a group of people killing all the guards then running around stealing everything. Trust me it's better this way..

    They should have allowed for guard killing and in addition to bounties they should have implemented a faction system. EQ had this 15 years ago no reason a modern MMO couldn't do the same except for sheer laziness. It's my biggest gripe with the Justice System. It's looks cool on the surface till you realize what a half-assed job they did.

    Why don't they send ONE guard out to defeat Molrag BAl and save the world? That way I can go eat pizza

    You can run around stealing everything even with the guards around. I was getting 20-25k per day stealing the past few weeks to finish out the Black Market Mogul achievement.

    Personally I would like to see the guards being defeatable. You "down" them and they are out of the fight for 10-15 seconds, allowing you to leave buildings.

    No thank you. Keep the guards unkillable for idiots who have to try.

    Okay look here you have no point here you CAN'T kill bankers, Guild Traders, Undaunted or quest NPCs only reason NPC to make the city look full and have no role at any part in your leveling questing or sell they are the background movers not need for them if they are all killed only the look and feel of the city changes

    Exactly.

    There would be a mass of dead townspeople and guards if this wasn't implemented.

    So what?

    Dude. You CANNOT target, or harm in ANY WAY, a banker, quest giver or merchant. Whose the idiot?

    I think if attack a guard the towns folks should attack.. Stable guy/gal could have a pitchfork, farmer with a shotgun, Mom starts hitting with her broom, need some kids to start kicking.. Chaos all the way.

    I liked the way Skyrim had justice setup and kinda wish they had implemented something similar in ESO. For example, if you killed too many guards a captain (who was invincible) would eventually show up to ruin your day. If it were the same in ESO players could fight their way out of a situation but still face the certain death penalty if they tried to stick around and push their luck.

    Not to mention the bounty hunters that would sometimes randomly appear in the field to punish you for crimes at the most inappropriate times was also quite funny sometimes.

    Plus I really just wanna punch a guard in the face for the 10 pounds of ugly fat comment while i'm just trying to do some banking..

    The Guards are to elite for us scrubs. We will never be on their level of PvP. Guards are the masters of Tamriel.

    Invincible guards is a good mechanic.

    People should be forced to flee.

    the problem with killing guards and just getting a bounty u can just log out go do something else and when u get back the time lapse will get rid of ur bounty. i have done it when my bounty gets to high. what i would like to see is a prison sentence. like in previous Elder scrolls this way i can at least get my stolen stuff back when caught.

    For future reference, when you're calling somebody an idiot you might want to make sure you're using the correct words.
    Whose = belonging to who
    Who's = who is
    I wouldn't normally call someone out on something like that (especially since there are many people on the forums whose first language is not English), but because you're using it incorrectly while calling someone an idiot I feel it's appropriate. After all, it really undermines your point. :)
