Specifically in FH, Maras exploit (not in COC context) the generic disengage once an enemy has entered the water. Furthermore many, well there aren't many guards to begin with, but a handful are within attack range but are stuck on docks and they are only trained to use a pike.
Yes, players could choose to repel trespassers but: Firstly, this never works- even when maras are killed they just respawn at the kami TP and run back down to the water next to the stable- YAY RP! And second, citizens of FH shouldn't have to do by themselves what NPCs of other nations are able to do alone.
