Waifu, it doesn't sound like you were present for this event. The only "meta" member involved in those fights has a theme and a full RP profile to go along with his combat style. I mean hell, I was on some terrible Apertaurus fire mage meme build whose only trick is popping off Sear and Explosion.

As for joining the fight, I was there long before the crowd formed, watching Eidolon being badgered for nearly 15 minutes before a fight started, and ready to assist when necessary. It's not as though I came out of nowhere.

The solution here is pretty simple though. If you think members of the "hero" crowd are capable of detaining other citizens in a professional and orderly fashion, then you should be able to assemble a team capable of defeating a group of four people. And if you are unable to beat them, then you may want to revisit Guard training protocols.
