Less bitchy people in the wasteland

I remember the good ole modoc days where you got shot because u were standing too close to some player with a gun.
Guns make the law, if you have one you are in a position to choose, shoot or not. Thats what caravan guards and merchants are. Who says they are good persons? Sure they are no raiders, but they dont give a shit about some dude been killed because he wasnt keeping his distance.

I have a pretty hilarious story about this, about two wipes ago, I acidentally came too close to a BH caravan, so they started shooting at me, only problem was that 2 of them were in their line of fire, and they decided to burst, so needless to say, they slaughtered each other to a point, I just had to finish them off with my dude, them running out of ammo and all... I just loved the idiocy that the AI can get into sometimes... :D

If guns made the law, why would there be merchants and "money" and shit? That's more of a raider-like thought. Anyway, it seems everyone is obsessed about shooting and killing and nobody read these comments:

Like Merchant Party (of death). They shout rather quick to holster the weapon, and if you have a few second lag on map load, well... they attack you pretty damn fast.
-So I think the AI in regards to this is more bug than design..

Well if I may share my opinion...
I think Eternauta has got the right idea. Merchants aren't scum who have to threaten people using guns, they might be scaring off potential clients! I'm sick and tired of going into a map and wandering around only to find that I encountered a merchant and one of his burly guards has just sprayed my face with his SMG just because I'm standing too close with my pathetic BB gun and ridiculous blue suit.
I can understand the NCR army not wanting a civilian standing too close to them on patrol, but a merchant shouting at some poor guy for standing too close seems somewhat absurd.
But I'm not complaining. The developers of this game have already achieved what would take me a lifetime to do :)
