Lore Question: Killing Poachers, why? Hypocritical?

[ShinChuck]

I just noticed I've been putting the apostrophe in the wrong place all this time when I've written "mi'qote". Not only have I been slaughtering them by the dozens, I've been getting their name wrong. My bad, cat ladies!

This is a sad, and little known fact:

Guild halls are actually little more than gang hideouts. The Adventurer's guild and the Poacher's guild have been at war for ages. Those that sign up with one guild are sent out to hunt down and mercilessly kill members of the other.

The only difference between those Mi'qote and us is where they get their leves from.

Hah, I like this one too. I want to join the Poacher's Guild, totally because of my conviction and not because I want to be the only male in a guild with dozens of scantily clad mithra with no other friends in the entire world.

Of course, then I have the rest of the world getting "kill on site" orders regarding me... eek!

I know this game is supposed to be medieval-like but I actually agree with OP. I generally don't like how this game handles defeating opponents/killing via its lore. (ffxi did the best I've seen in an mmo, leaving much to the user's imagination)

Thanks! This topic was done mostly in jest and to play devil's advocate, but I think there's genuine truth to it too. I'm used to WoW or Rift sending me out to enact the death penalty on random mobs with flimsy rationale, but not in XI, and so, it surprised me to see it coming from XIV.

But again, mostly just done for the joke value and for the lore debates.
