Remember during the banquet when you are lv 50 and some random mook guards detain you and tie you up like if you were a punk? On some jobs like monk (you have no weapons, so what? being unarmed doesnt instantly make your martial arts null) that has unlocked 7 chakras already is quite ridiculous unless Uldah guards are super beefed up and are Legatus level each one.
I just figured that was because WoL didn't want to slaughter a bunch of people. Later on Fray is like "Give up my weapon and go quietly? I don't think I'll be doing that again, thanks."
