I'd support this, but it definitely shouldn't be free. Otherwise, make me a robber for the next two weeks, then I'll get my robber flag removed for free, kthnx.

Perhaps rp opportunity for Law? Have an amnesty for robbers? But make it super expensive and then distribute the collections to people who have been robbed?

We're talking about the robber status specifically, not whether one is blue or red. The robber status allows you to rob people, but Tekstone guards attack robbers. If you're just red, you can't rob, but Tekstone guards don't attack you.

I cant understand the logic here, seriously if you are hunting in group why not to beat the shit out of the robbers who appear? Robber chars are usualy half assed barely trained crap. If you got as many players as robbers have you have realy good chances in winning. Wear gear accordingly your group size and you should be just fine hunting even if dryloot is running.

Risk vs reward is totaly off imo, why should there be at all more risk than losing the fight with that guy who you are robbing? If you think about it robbers have absolutely no advantage in robbery situation compared to you. Also if you are priest or piety member of religion you actualy have advantage compared to the robber.

This is multiplayer game you dont always think the loot you get when alone, rather share, hunt safely and faster.

EDIT: I still dont like the idea of stoning because giving player power to "jail" other players is just ridicilious for anyreason. 7days safety from robber after getting robbed should be enough.

they do have the advantage.
they rob in large groups, larger than the group they are going to attack.
and they do it in pvp gear. if they lose it, they only lose that, if we lose, we lose much more.
if we lose, we have to hunt even more to get our stuff back, if they lose, they will have more gear from past robberies.

one thing would be to come, 1vs1, both had onyx weapons, pvp armor, etc. but that's not how it happens.
besides, robbers log off and you can't do anything about it when they are not online.

if athan hunts on his red chars, i still think that's not the case for robber chars.
it's much easier for them to find a good opportunity than for us to find a good opportunity.

the way is to stone these players, or send them to wrong. really, they don't give a crap if they lose gear once. they would only care if they were losing gear every single night they were going out to rob.
but hey, with this playerbase, it's not going to happen. chances are, robbers will find law after they have done many many successful robberies, so by then, they can afford to lose their gear.

it's like saying to a bank robber "hey you stole 1 million, so now we're going to steal 100k from you. if we find you again, take care, because you'll have stolen another million and we will once again take 100k from you!"

Rob in large groups, i just said that this is a multiplayer game. Just hunt in larger groups yourself?!

PvP gear? Dfear is nearly as good as onyx as a weapon material and its realy good in hunting purposes, armours dont realy matter which you use on your hunting trips if you know how to hunt and know what you are capable of killing without having to use certain type of armours.

Also i have habit of emptying the hunting spots while running around and tracking on my baba.

Also if you hunt in 1mill gear alone you must be total retard, Athan already said dont use what you can't afford to lose. Thats what robbers are doing also correct?

EDIT: Imo everything should be balanced to equal level, instead of this giving advantage system. But i understand it cant be done due certain groups of players having habits that dont allow even baseclassers learn to play freely. But still its over the line already, it should be players that create the difference not the damn rites or the bullshit op:ness. These abilities like jailing other players i see as a flaw in the system.

Yea thats how you do it, if you fear the robbers so god damn a lot. Seriously do you think robbers get a lot off ye with 4 people? Or have backup ready all of the time when you are hunting to instantly appear to save you.
