Suggestion: disable or limit stealing from KO'ed characters

[Hasta]

Only Steal from a corpse.

Pros: smoothen the setback curve for players after a gank.
Cons: ganker's erection after a successful instance of being a jerk for no reason - only at half mast.

Discuss.
__________________________________________________________
The discussion so far:

AGAINST:
- Being ultra-hardcore is the tradition of HnH, any steps away from it are perceived as negative by core PvP-oriented players
Counterpoint: the hardcoreness is not affected in any meaningful way except for the throwaway 1-day old ganker characters being able to add insult to injuries, while invested and dedicated raiders retain the ability to kill and loot.

FOR (additional suggestions)
- Limit the avaliability of containers: you can take KO'd character's inventory, but not his gear. The curios containers (where the claim thingamabob sometimes is) - up for debate.
- Allow stealing from a KO'd character with Rage.

I agree

[mulamishne]

Disagree, if I want your stuff I should be able to take it, you're literally passed out on the ground.

[Hasta]

I should be able to

Should you be able to also draw a penis on my forehead? Gouge my eyes out? Mutilate my genitalia while pleasing yourself? Cut my throat with a rusted spoon?

Ofcourse you should. I'm literally passed out on the ground. Yet you cant for some reason. it's as if there are rules to this game that surpass the "realism" claim, huh?

This is my point. It will be highly conducive to retaining a more stable playerbase. The gankees gets a ton of traumas and if a ganker is worth his salt - the gankee loses his life AND stuff anyways. So why the double-taxation? If a player managed to cover in the safety of "passed out" status - he should be allowed to keep his stuff and NOT spend twice the time recovering from both trauma penalty AND material loss.

if I want your stuff

If you REALLY want my stuff, get good and kill me, what are you, some kind of weakling?

wake up honey, new sprucecope thread just dropped

sprucecope

So, not even an attempt at a concise argument? This saddens me quite a bit. Keep quiet please, grownups are talking

[loozer]

nevermind

[grumgrumganoe]

Keep quiet please, grownups are talking

Not an argument.

Why should the landed sprucecap elite be able to hoard all the world’s blueberries, while poor innocent Wild Men starve? If you took away a pvper’s hearth-given right to Forage in the only method afforded to him, here’s who you’d be stealing from:

Not an argument.

I'm genuinely interested: do you have a sincere, thought-out, in-good-faith counter-argument to the issue in question?

At least that guy who argued "THIS GAME IS FOR JERKS, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GO MAKE YOUR OWN GAME!" had the decency to delete his comment

Mate it’s a videogame. The solutions to losing are:
1. Learn how to win, or
2. Stop playing it
