@jammi: If you're thirsty, you go get a glass of water. If you want a gun that requires a guard rep, you go get a guard rep. My analogy is literally that simple. & you're just splitting (butt)hairs:P
as for your bottom question,
' Wrote:So the point of your story is that couriers are bad and people should get things themselves?
you overlooked something I said on page 1:
' Wrote:If it takes a certain amount of guard repping to get the guns you want, then you simply take the time needed to rep up yourself or save the time by group repping or just buying a rep off someone.
