Ya, but the information may not be accurate in those FAQs. They say that mercs come with their own gear, but they don't know for sure if that means they actually have a full set of equiped items (inventory) or if they are just simulating a set of gear by sending texture and wearchange packets and adjusting NPC stats accordingly to scale. Considering that all of the mercs I have seen in the past only wore armor with no tint, that makes me lean toward them just sending a texture change. If they were using actual gear, why not use existing gear sets made for players (which would have a tint applied)? Of course, they could also send a tint to simulate that as well, which we already have an option for in the emu.
