I need help clarifying my opinion of theft.
This discussion has been closed.

PS: When everyone's disagreeing with you, chances are you're the one who's incorrect. If your first instinct is to resort to insulting, that only proves as much.
Here, I'll even make a list for you guys.
-I never said I wanted old theft back. Not once. I said what I would've rather they gave us over the pickpocket shit we're at now, but, here we are.
-I never said I robbed people until they had nothing while they were disconnected nor that I wanted that. A moron was established on this one.
-Talking about old theft and how much more SEVERE it was does not mean I got pleasure from it or whatever the fuck that was supposed to mean. I rarely did theft shit. Was really fun seeing novice Serpents motivated to make a name for themselves as a renowned thief.
-If getting robbed empty made someone quit completely... Good. Gigantic baby go bye bye. I could lose everything non-artie on me right now and I wouldn't bat an eye. I'd just go replace it all. I'll admit I'm an asshole in this regard, but only because I can't stand people that give up so easy. This demeanor probably comes from some of the other unforgiving games I have played/do play.
-I was one of the most polite and rational thieves when I actually bothered with it. Personally attacking me when I returned 95% of all the things I stole shows the bias of the player base I just said was fucking stupid. Like what'd I do to you besides have a different opinion? It's not like I fucked your life up.
-Saying theft benefitted me personally is absurd. Again, I returned almost everything I ever stole. When did I not? When people immediately went OOC and started cursing me and calling me names. I think that was mentioned in a previous post, yeah?
-Saying someone's opinion is wrong is fucking low and stupid over something like theft in a text game. Completely wanting to shut down any kind of discussion? Why. I wasn't even the one that came into this thread throwing jabs and insulting anyone (bar the crybaby part, which I event went as far as to clarify THAT ANYONE COMPLAINING ON THE -- CURRENT-- THEFT SYSTEM IS A BABY.) That's on a couple other people, though.
-Completely altering a mechanic to the point it becomes too annoying to use that it's not worth the effort rather than trying to establish a better checks and balances system is bad form in a game. It's what leaves us with a bunch of stupid, broken shit, looking at you Expert Diagnoser.
-Some of y'all are some sensitive, whiney mfs Lmao. Taking a conversation like this personal has me cracking up at work.
I don't know the actual success rate of targeted pickpocket, but I can confirm that its incredibly low. I can count the number of times I've seen it succeed for me on one hand, I think. This means that with an extremely minimal amount of effort, you can make yourself 100% immune to theft, even if you're completely afk.
Now, I'll be the first one to admit that the old system was seriously flawed and weighed heavily on the side of the thief, but lets not pretend the new system is anything other than what it actually is - an attempt to appease the population of people who actually enjoyed theft and the atmosphere it brought to the game, while still making it essentially harmless.
Because its so incredibly easy to protect yourself, I have a hard time feeling too bad for anyone who happens to lose things through pickpocket. Which is pretty much what Cobault was saying, if I understood his post correctly.
... I can see how my bluntness came across in a "not nice" manner tho
Everyone else can read what you're saying. They're just responding to the parts where you're being a fucking douchebag for no real reason. It's not bluntness, it's just plain 'being an asshole'. See the above points.
PS: If you actually knew how to read, you'd have seen the part where I said the onus for losing things shouldn't be on the thief. That's defending the thief, not the person getting stolen from, lol. Matter of fact, I even said as much about the majority of them being willing to return stolen things, and not being outright griefy about it. As to the OP's comment, you'd have also seen the part where I said it was their fault. Kudos.
Take a second to go back through and see who started insulting who first. Okay? Can you do that for me? I want you to read btw. I know we keep circling back to how bad you are at it, but.. Just give it a shot.
"even as a disconnect makes you a crybaby in my eyes"
Seems I found the start of it.
Found it.
Found it again.
Nobody threw out any "insults" before either of these posts. I mean I can understand being wrong, but boy you're taking it to a whole new level. You should go back to page 1, and see my very first post that said the OP was at fault for losing their stuff. Not the thief that robbed them.
Goodness. But I'm the wrong one! Rofl
"Complaining about not being able to make people quit the game any more makes you a crybaby. What a fucking ridiculous position to hold."
#that'snotaninsulttho
Theft mechanics are at the bottom of the list of things that will make the game better. If you have suggestions, classlead it.
But wait, you mean.. You mean you read?! You did it! You understood that I was answering the questions! Now your only issue is where I replied to Ant with a similar hostility he showed me.
Before you started talking shit about me being on a high horse, I mean. That and something else insulting that I'm too lazy to look up. That's what got insults thrown your way bud. Like I said, between us? Me and you? Yeah. You started it.
You should really stop saying others can't read, when it's you who's displaying such. I even posted the exact things that you said you didn't do. I didn't alter them, or put them out of context. I literally didn't even respond to you until long after everybody else did, lol.
