[Sunderfury]

Posting to public bug forum per Dev request.

Expected Behavior:
Bankers should not leave a corpse when killed or give any experience. Faction hits should still process.

Can't be slowed, poofs when dead (no exp), but you can bank with him during the fight. Yay [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bankers merchants, and artisans are so hard to kill, you get no exp, and you cant loot them because they are trying to have it so people DO NOT kill them. understand?

Pyrox is the banker =)

No exp, no loot, no corpse if keeled. But right click on him during the fight to ditch yer loot =)

Newsgroup (4/24/2000):

Does anyone know if a bank robbery has ever occurred in Norrath? Do bankers
give a lot of loot when killed?

They *Poof* when you kill them like most other vendors.

Bankers drop nothing and give no exp just like all vendors.
Plus you will piss off a whole bunch of people that need to bank.

Notice "and artisans"

No one killed vendors on live (regularly) and it was for a reason.

Thanks for sharing Sunderfury

Still happening, what have they addressed??

This requires the Devs still to reply "Fixed, Pending Update" and then a patch to go live.

I think we all knew this was the case but if there was a benefit from currently doing it people are going to its just how the server is now and how people think in 2020 vs 1999.
