Here's my problem: They made them charmies out of convienience because it was easy to code. I have had ragers tell me to let the poor merc go because I had him under some spell like he was my slave, well, they are there to make a living..is this so hard to grasp? It happens in RL all the time assuming some of you are familiar with RL. So I ask the imms to change the code so it doesn't say (charmed). Maybe it could say (hireling) or something so a rager won't have an excuse to attack a human warrior who just hired a human merc to carry goods for him.
Ragers hate spells and therefore attacks any mercenaries and people with them for using magic because they have a (charmed) by them and we all know charm is a spell.
This is retarded. We can all grasp the idea of someone going and hireing a companion to carry things, fight with us, hence the term "mercenary".
