Because we are not a bunch of noobs.
Because we want to pvp, not to pve.
Choose the answer you like the most.
Youre a noob if you dont want to use something what gives you an obvious advantage.
Just find a group which wants pvp only and fight against them where is the problem?
adams i am sorry if you dont see the unballanced shit that companions are, why dont you just imagine town control or reno 5 vs 5 with 25 slaves / mercs on each side, do you think this game would be fun because right now its heading in that direction
Right now there is no stronger build than a build with mercs and i mean it. Its practically impossible to frontline attack one guy with 2/3 mercs and survive when you are alone, you will die before even shooting, even in power armor. But maybe if they do more stupid nerfs like pancor (useless in tc right now) nerf then we will see some stuff happening.
