I'm sure that they are all high level players, but that does not necessarily mean that they are the same level as Kirito. Unlike other players, Kirito is a solo fighter, which means he has to be really, really good. Also, he would gain all experience himself instead of sharing it with others. It is more likely that only a few players are at or around his level.

That would be quite disasterous if it ever occurs. I'm sure a high level guild or 2 will send a party out to "capture" said rogue.

I'm very anti-spoilers, so I'll refrain from asking there. I don't mind discussing it here with others who don't know the answer.

Otherwise, every topic that we bring up would end up with a novel reader answering definitively. I prefer long discussions instead of definitive answers.

That is very true that there probably are a few unbalanced people running around. They are probably doing it for the kicks; however, I do hope there is a team around that protects people from them.
