here's the tldr of this entire thread

OP asks - What's the official policy on pickpocketing mobs that are engaged?

Response (for it) - It's a game mechanic, it's the only way rogues can farm solo, stop crying.

Response (against it) - It's the same as KSing, the mob doesn't belong to you.

So, we currently have KSing rules which state you cannot engage a mob that has been previously engaged with intent to take the experience or loot. Now, pickpocketing pulls loot from the same loot table, so if a mob is engaged then guess what? You're stealing loot.

When you argue - It's a game mechanic, we wouldn't be able to pickpocket if it wasn't allowed. Well, FD is a game mechanic and I'm positive you'd be in R&F the moment some monk drops a train on you to take your camp.

How else can rogues make $ solo? Roll a mage. What about every other class that can't solo and can't pickpocket? I mean, every SK reading this thread should feel empowered to go out and KS the shit out of whomever they feel like, it's the same thing.

Problem with that is, Training using FD is an unintentional use of a mechanic. If the original devs new it would be such a long standing problem they would of developed it differently maybe. Pick Pocket is being used correctly there is no other use for it.
