Maybe these guards could charge, and hit A LOT more than what they are currently doing, Cenarion Hold is going to be a S**tfest if you can just run away from the guards. and right now everyone is safe zoning and finding spots that guards are not reaching.
As of today, 09.02 people are farming the guards and attacking all the players, there were no alliance in Cenarion hold alive for a period of time (usually bg timers)
