Lets talk about thieves

[mindwarp]

I'm sick of people acting like thieves and raiders are just losers that are trying to ruin the game. Seriously, shut the fuck up. Learn to defend and keep your shit safe. And stop acting like we have bad moral values IRL just because we choose to steal in the game. It is a ROLE PLAYING GAME. I choose to PLAY THE ROLE of a thief. And I happen to have lots of fun doing and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Stealing is an awesome part of the game, and without it, the game would be pretty much be lame in my opinion. I can understand hating griefers that just go around looking for shit to destroy, but even then, it's still part of the game. Get over it. Learn to play better, get more skills, build a more secure town, and it wont happen to you. You also have the right to find and kill us thieves, so go do it, and quit bitching. I can't even count how many times people have acted like I'm some asshole that just ruins the game. Just get a group of people, attempt to track me down and kill me, then take back your shit. It's that simple. If you don't have the skills to do that, get over it and keep playing until you do, and hide your valuble shit somewhere else that we wont find. Even on my non-thief characters, I think thieves make the game so much more interesting. It really makes it seem that much more like a real world, which is exactly what I want in an mmo.

Is it wrong to put a silver bar in an
unwalled claim with a small house and
track the scent every day?... because
it sure is fun...

My new hobby. Got any un-scented silver for me?

Any valuable item works, i find
steel, precious metals and
silk work best.

What can I say- Good thief is good thief. OP is right!

[DukeBenjy]

What if the valuable is consumed?

I once found an almost built house on paved land that hadn't been updated on the map, so it was recent. Inside the two coffers nearby was a river pearl, every type of farmable plant (Except beetroot ¬_¬), lots of leather/rope, and a metal saw I took it all and hearth teleported back. I probably destroyed someone's game, but, what good is security if you do not use it?

Take all their things silly, make the
treasure trove bigger and bigger
until you die or someone gets away
with all of it =p

Simply put, this game will cause paranoia if you play it too much.

[Dataslycer]

This game doesn't make you paranoid. People make you paranoid.
