Pick Pockets

Unread post by gfya1369 »

Ok latley picking pockets has become out of control. Myself and other have had thousands of gold take not to mention its generally done when you are busy doing other things like shoping or fighting.

Now I am not sure as to how much they can take, but I have heard rumors of only 50gp at a time and that they are only allowed to do it once in a 24 hr period. Well lately i seem to be loosing gold at a cyclic rate. To top it all off this server does not have a banking system to securely place your gold. so my questions stand at this..

1. Will a banking system be put in place to allow people to store their gold and then risk that which they have on them to pickpockets?

2. Will something be done perhaps a script to keep people form pick pocketing more then once?

3. Will noobs say characters lvl 5 and below be made immune to pickpocketing for they seem to be the ones this is used on the most?

4. Will pick pockets be removed entirely due to the horrible abuse it allows and seems still to be allowing? I have not been on this server long but already this seems to be the biggest abuse I have seen.

IMO This boils down to ALOT of griefing.

Respectfully,

J

2) yes, if it continues to be bad we can shut it off.

Solution for banking: Make a "mule" pc, and transfer cash (and items you want to save for alter or sell) to that pc using a player you trust.

dude seriously? :?

PP was already nerfed to only take gold, be happy

then it was nerfed to be once a reset, be happy

people are fricken thieves and will take your gold, if the server rules werent so restrictive there would be people who would kill you and then take your gold
everyone is evil till proven otherwise
