Guards at the Trader Outposts

Dear Game Developers Please Add Guards at the Trader Outposts to Protect Them.

Why? The outpost is indestructible, if you don't leave the door open, zombies will never get there.

The only way I'd agree with such a change is if they also shoot at, and kill, players after the trader closes. Then it would be hilarious, and balanced.

I think it's more about immersion than actual function. IIRC, some of the traders are supposed to be affiliated with different factions. Logically, these could be protected in some way. It would also help make the world feel more alive.

That being said, I don't see it happening. While these factions and bandits are coming (eventually) I think some players have their expectations too high. Whatever forms of NPCs eventually make it into the game, they will be pretty simple.

If I am not mistaken I think someone had at one time had guards along the top of the fence surrounding the traders. They didn't shoot players though, just zombies that got close.
