I some what agree however all guards have Sharp III swords.  if we want a better sword we have to enchant just like normal players.  Also with the gold apples, usually guards buy them off /ps  so we are getting rid of points but just to help us.  you guys can do the same thing. maybe if you use a Sharp IV Fire II sword you should have better things to protect yourself with for example, Better Armor, Good Bow, Tasers.  We Buy the taser charges but it still takes a long time to recharge after you use it once

Lets look at the average new guard then.

Lets say you for this little experiment, the other night me and Cougar were both fighting you. You killed Cougar who had 22 gapples on him. I came back with prot IV, five gapples, and a pain killer. I took the pain killer and gappled. Using prot IV, and a C-Guard blade you still did quite a bit of damage, and adding in the negative effects of the tazer you did even more damage, now when I got you near dead you would gapple, and then you began to have your armor break and then used hand cuffs to jail me during pvp. Now, you gappled maybe, what?, seven times during that fight? Guard buffs are to much to deal with, hand cuffs are extremely shitty as the guards have gotten so lazy they pull a sharp iv fire ii sword on a c blocker fisting them. They don't even type the commands anymore. But this isn't about that lmao.

Back on topic, a guard can kill a Prot IV, Sharp III guy pretty easily, taking into account their buffs. But lets place that Prot IV guy with a Sharp IV Fire II sword. A new guard starts killing people with thsoe items and is allowed to keep them. Lets say he has collected a double chest full of those swords. Letting that guard keep items he gets from a riot is annoying for us players. And letting them keep gapples? A guard will never fucking die.

    Now, Guards are wayy to OP what they are. the only reason we kill guards is because its like a 1v5. but a 1v1 on a guard the guard is most likely to win. Unless this prisoner has maxed out things including good pvp skills. Example, zs me mit and cougarboy fight a guard. The guard uses a sharp 3 sword and manages to kill one of us. finally after pvping for more than 5 minutes the guard finally dies after having no gapples but, now lets go alittle foward. the same guard kills a prisoner and gets 20-25 gaps a fire 2 and sharp 4 sword. Later on we all come on and decide to riot again. But this time the guard has 5 times the chance to win. this time the guard kills all of us but the maxed out p4 guy and he finally kills the guard. Guards should dispose swords and other items like gapples. Or have some kind of evidence room saying "This sword belong to girlsrock513" I rest my case

Ok..I Get what your saying but lets remember something. When its a 5v1 Guard Armor Breaks quick and we cant repair when were in combat, once our Helmot is gone we lose hearts easily..thats why i bring Gapples so i can regen and try to get more hits on the Rioters.  Now yes i understand what your saying but over time the server will become more experienced and people will get P4 and a lot more better swords.  once those players have P4 and a Sharp IV Fire II Sword it will be very hard for a 1v1 and i think Guards should be able to keep the Gold Apples and whatever sword they like.
