This... seriously, is not the type of attitude I'd expect from a group of people I've always considered a cool bunch...
If you want to take the easiest way for guard repping your chars, and use the base right at the Dragons and Chrysanthemums doorstep to run missions from, you have to accept the risk of getting shot at by something other than NPCs in the process. Even then, you can PM the other player(s) and ask them Nicely to let you continue repping, even though you're in a fully equipped and properly repped fighter. I mean, yeah we might throw any type of insults at each other InRp, but soon as "//" gets into a sentence, I personally expect it to sound nice and friendly, at least long as it comes from someone with [KNF] tag.
Also, kudos to [KNF]Ca.Kenshin.Aoki and [KNF]Co.T.Kagakagari for coming in and turning a "meh..." encounter with [KNF] into a really enjoyable (And laggy, thanks to NPCs:P) interaction.
