Killing Bankers

[plzrelax]

This is ridiculous, why can’t the bank just hire more tellers? I remember back when the bank had employees that would actually help you AND I was making 7%. What’s next, are they going to ask me for my ID too? I’ve been going to this branch for more than 20 years now.

I jumped in the Hole because I was never able to become a banker.

[Noselacri]

Sorry you didn't become a banker.

cant remember when but I am 100 percent certain on live bankers and merchants where removed from the exp/loot table for this very reason.

So, I'm seeing references to old-world merchants that used to be on beta-neutral faction giving no xp or drops, but nothing about the bankers.

A merchant you're KOS to won't attack but don't bankers attack on sight if your're KOS? Maybe we're remembering wrong and it was just merchants that didn't give XP? Other than merchants on their own factions like the goblin merchant and frost giants etc.

I think KOS bankers won't attack you unless you /sit close by.

you can get pretty close to them and they are generally greenish but i have accidently agrod the bankers in HHK once or twice, but I got better at it, and can bank in HHK, Erudin, and Akanon pretty safely. Never tried kelethin.

Most bankers deserve death.

I like when noobs cant run to the guards in BB because they are constantly camped at Crossroads.

The point I was trying to make was that bankers behave differently. A merchant will never attack you even at scowling whereas bankers do. So, there are obviously some differences there. Do merchants give xp on P99 (regular beta-neutral ones I mean, not "a goblin merchant" or whatever)? If not, then it seems like it matches what I can find on forums from 2001 and it's just merchants that had the reward removed to discourage players killing them. I haven't found anything mentioning bankers being changed except people talking about the one in Kael and he's not a "beta neutral" banker.
