Allow theft and break-in even with the Guest buff.

I’m all for adding more crime mechanics but not the kind where people grief others for no real reason.

The main problem is that alts break the system (imo alts are the main reason we can't have fun in this game)

Containers get a protection timer after being looted? = use alts to steal from yourself and keep that protection active
Each character has a limit on how much they can steal? = use alts to bypass that limit

You could try to turn crime into a gameplay feature with special items that are meant to be stolen or protected but in practice players would just use alts to farm it.

I agree. Alts are both a plus and a minus for the game.

I considered these options and therefore didn't suggest them because they can be abused for protection. But if, with a limit of one theft, you implement "automatically closing locks" so that every thief has to hack all the doors and vaults again, then even with alts you won't be able to steal much. According to the wiki, hacking a good lock can take up to 24 hours of real time.

Only items outside will be at risk.

There's also a solution with the palisade, which I'll offer later. Although it probably won't help much against alts, but 64 won't be able to do it in one go.

I didn't quite understand. Or the translator translated it incorrectly. There's no secrets (cover?).

There are several ideas that might be clearer if they were in one thread, but according to the section rules, each must be presented separately. So here it is. Three sentences, but two of them depend on the first. That's the second one.
There's still part 3 left, about slaves and prison.

No- whoever's alt this is, the shit posting isn't even funny anymore.

So all the good players will have to set up bot to aggro thieves.
The idea proposed here will never be added people can stop getting mad at it now.

I don't use bots, so I forgot about them.

Another reason to ban bots: Instead of teaming up with other people or figuring out how to protect their property, they just use a bot.
Why look for a farmer in the village? Use a bot. Why learn to fight? Use a bot. Hunt? Use a bot. We have a bot for every occasion! Suck it, people!

Well, some will use a bot for these purposes, some won't. The main thing is that people will have the opportunity to choose not only between the life of a "hermit" or a "killer," but also other options.

I will steal from you when you are offline.
With 64 alts so I can get everything.

There's also a solution with the palisade, which I'll offer later. Although it probably won't help much against alts, but 64 won't be able to do it in one go.

Here's the idea I was talking about. Besides being useful in their own right, with a palisade gate like that, it'll be difficult to get past with 64 alts.
