Since we want this to be as classic as possible!
 
Rogues used to be able to steal magic items, if I recall there was a fiasco back in the day about a rogue pickpocketing Lord Nagafen's loot table by sneaking into the lair when the giants were cleared.

Now the old ruleset for pickpocketing stated as long as it is not NO-DROP or held in the mobs hands (such as a weapon) it could be pickpocketed, it was changed around Kunark when the epic note could be lifted and magic items could not anymore

I really do want the ability to sneak into guk and walk out with 30k in gear with no effort just like in classic, I want the ability to hold raid mobs at ransom and blackmail entire guilds of people with threats of future pickpocketing

After all I am a rogue! Stealing, blackmailing, and extortion it's all in the days work!

So make this like REAL classic and fix pickpocketing to it's pre-nerf status so I can go jack me a FBSS from some poor level 50 camping up his fourth round of 12k

Also take out notifications so I can ninja loot corpses then go 'oh it was empty'

I am all for rogues being able to pickpocket magic items.

Rogues need to be rogues, not walking daggers with chiseled beards and abs of steel!

Its not fair that rogues can steal magic items.

What im saying is only casters should be allowed to farm any items worthwhile, if we let rogues start being able to farm magical items there will be an actual melee class thats on par with casters on something.

I feel that if we are going to keep this game classic we need to keep the melee down! remove pickpocket entirely, lower all melee skill caps because I once saw a ranger outdps an enc THAT IS NOT RIGHT!!!

(sarcastic caster rant,done)

This needs to be put in, not only was it classic but it never should have been removed.

ooh boy a whine thread about non classic things.

like 7 day res timer instead of 2 hour
like rogues having evade already, when it wasn't put in until about a month before kunark came out.
like monks not having insta clicky ch on treant fists.

Thinking about it, I find it funny that of all the rage about global ooc, hardly anyone has mentioned 7 day res timers, which alters actual gameplay more.

This thread is a joke, genius. How's that MENSA membership treating you?

Res timers are already on the dev's radar for obvious reasons.

Specific times of when certain things were given in classic, except content, really are irrelevant.

seriousposting in an r&f thread, my mensa membership is working as well as your irony detection
