I think our poor imitation of azn culture would be frowned on now. (I know I had a rooter named secretaznman at one point) ><
I retired stealing from others in the classical sense of using the skill. No point.. its so frustrating trying to steal, and checking for nearby npcs, players, etc. just to fail and get g-wacked on a 1 stone item (like a rune to someones house to later stalk). Id love more changes made to reverse the nerf, but without making it overpowered like it used to be. I think being stealthed while trying to steal something should lower the chance of being wacked. But who knows!
try failing disarm 4 times in a row then failing 4 times to steal a heavy wep or taking 10 tries to get 80 of a reg in town with people trying to kill you. Tela is continually working to make all aspects of the game better though, so I have faith things will be brought to speed/fun
It's also stupid you can't target steal unblessed 0 stone items like rune books and bod books. Either they're blessed or they aren't. I know you can random steal them but it takes 12 times with 4 guard whacks... Make the rules for those things the same as any other item.
^agreed, you can always leave bod books in the bank, and buy the (way overpowered) runebook bless deed from the plat system
It's stupid that you can do random steal. Runebooks should weigh one stone for every rune they contain, naturally.
