A word about "rep-stealing"...

Not Really. Every bullet, every grenade, every throwing knife I use is an investment in Rep. There is also my time and the fact that, 9 times out of 10, the rep stealer will also be asking for a Revive at some point.

Seriously. When I am engaged with a bad guy and there are three or four more like it standing around, why are you attacking mine? How lazy can a pirate be?

ON A SIDE NOTE: The rudeness is something that is generally pretty new. It happened on occasion but it wasn't quit as widespread as it is now. There is NO reason for a high level pirate to be in Fort Charles and certainly not swiping away at gray enemies. For what? 1-3 rep points? Go to Tormenta and leave Fort Charles to the Noobs. It was meant to be their's anyway.
