Pick Pocket Policy: Mobs you don't own.

[yaeger]

Not in EQ.

Vanguard limited pickpocketing to humanoid only... maybe EQ2 as well..

[Laiokin]

I had some recollection that at some point there was a different loot pool for pickpocking. Not sure if we are at that point yet in 1999 evolution.

This thread embodies well why i loved Rallos Zek.

BUT BUT HES STEALING MAH LOOTS WITH HIS PICKPOCKETS BOO HOO FUCKING HOO

If anyone really believes pickpocketing is okay for engaged mobs head into Hate or Fear while a guild clears and start pulling the gems off the trash mobs. Watch how fast your ass gets suspended

I wasnt saying that it would not break the rules, it was more like a "I wish this was a pvp server so i could slay the OP's ass over and over and drink his tears" sort of thing.

However comical your PVP related comments on a PVE server are, they just aren't relavent and serve no purpose in the thread whatsoever, but I applaud you for trying to think outside the bun.

If this were a PVP server then I would have snared, feared, and laughed at the rogue ...not killing him ..just keeping him perpetually feared and snared. But this isn't. So I couldn't. So, yeah, here we are.

Can't fear players in PVP.

Also, most people here seem to think pickpocket is may more OP then it is. I have also pick pocketed most mobs in classic and the above post is right you may (rarely) get a diamond or gem but mostly you get Words, Gold/Silver, Nothing.


If you where farming alli and the rogue got 2-3 pick pockets off you I bet while you camped him for 5 hours you made triple what he made stealing from you.


Remember rogues can not solo AT ALL at high lvls forget about camping named item mobs. They are 100% group orientated.


The idea that a rogue is spamming his PP ability and stealing Gems Yaks FBSS with 100% accuracy is laughable.

Pickpocket on rogues was the classic vision of Verant when this game was made.

As a fellow OP mage I say give rogues a break let them farm diamonds off you.

Also half the time most people dont grind with see invis on so you might not even notice them.

Thats a good point, most of the players of classic were on blue servers, was pickpocket disabled on live blue servers?

to be honest i asked a while back in a diff. thread about a separate loot table for rogues, as I thought I remembered not having to worry about stealing my own groups on Rodcet Nife (blue).

To answer your Q Taxi, pickpocket was fully enabled and apparently pulled the loot out of the same loot table. I must have misremembered having a pickpocket loot table separate from the normal one according to the replies I received.
