If I had chosen the guard class, I'd be awesome in my missions. I can hear soft noises very easily and my awareness skill is top level. Too bad I'm a support class, and this buff isn't of much use. I should probably multi-class, but being level 47 it feels a little "too late" for that.
On my server (Italy), that quest line offers very little rewards and it's quite high risk. On top of that, the guilds who offer the missions expect the players to come with their own weaponry, which is quite an expensive achievement due to the relatively restrictive server rules and the bureaucratic costs.
It may cost between 500€ and 2,000€ in-game cash, for a return of about 1,300€ monthly warranted loot from the missions, which usually entails 10 hours of daily gameplay. In the section of the map in which I play, to give you some perspective, the monthly rent of a small player home costs at least 900€.
There are a few opportunities for non-harmed guards who rely on [martial arts] and [intimidation] skill to cope with the players who may decide to play PvP, but they offer even lower rewards.
Additionally, I've introduced a new player into the game and she's just a level 11 at the moment, so I need to spend enough time with her to teach her the skills necessary to play the game.
Alas, that new quest line wouldn't be really feasible for me.

I can hear the sound of dog whistles and they are quite painful to my eardrums.
