My point is: npcs shouldn't interfere with pvp.

First I was making a point that if you want to remove mercs why should we stop there. The second point that i tried to convey was that I disagree mercs should interfere with pvp. If mercs are present in pvp. That minor but at the same time strong element is that adds to the diversity of pvp. If there are mercs in pvp your enemy has to take an account that you might be going to use them as such they make appropriate precautions thus making the pvp harder more interesting. More tactics more variety of things that you can use in pvp = more fun.
After you saw the pic...
I remember the times when 2 players stood against each other and shot their magazines until 1 dropped dead i loved those time i truly did. But it doesnt mean that i should stagnate and not improve.

All mercs cause is more farming and more preparing. That's something many people simply hate and don't even bother to fight because they know their enemy has prepared themselves better.
They kill gang-diversity because only strongest and hardest farmers can afford mercs in daily basis.
To counter mercs best idea is to simply have mercs of your own or more fastrelogs, but more something anyway.
Nobody mains a merc-leader, it's just a fire and forget character. That's because it's impossible to regear as fast as other builds. You can't store mercs in base and get more if you die. Thus merc leader is often just a relog or like in last session, a proxy.
More variety doesn't equal more fun in this case because the needed amount of work to get mercs simply drives people away. The more equal people are in terms of wealth, the more action we will have.
Buying more militia was a strategy too, it added diversity. But diversity doesn't equal fun or more action.

I think mercs shouldn't have ability to "attack everything that moves beside my teammates trololo".
They are too automatic. Instead more options to control them would be nice. But beside this they
are part of the game whether you like it or not and NPCs are part of the game whether you like it or not.
This is not some 3D tournament shooter with regular "fair" matches in predictable arenas, if you want
play this way then WTF are you doing in an open town, if you don't like the environment then go to
Hinkley or switch to Quake.
