Killing real people usually rewards you with prison or worse.. just saying :p
Offering any kind of substantial reward for killing someone and all you will get is "WTB rank 65/** runner to kill. Rez provided." Just as it was when you had to kill enemies for the epics.
.... STD trolling for more fights? o_O
+1 on XP/$$ bonus for non LE.
