when ppl open a corpse and see all those shiny items, they gotta get what they can, because there may not be a next time, or when we die next time, we may well be cleanlooted.
well, i see bruce. if you ask me, i don't see why ppl just log in to rob and log off, repeat forever. to me, this is just to ruin other ppl.
because they don't even use the damn items! they probably just store that shit forever.
atleast in RL, ppl either steal to survive, or if they are playing another level, they steal big shit to get wealthier, but that means they'll also make something of that wealth. buy a company, get a business, casino, whatever. don't think anyone steals the big guys to have the money sit there. they want to spend it!
about the little ones that steal from ppl just to make them miserable and make them suffer, those are the assholes.
so, in uo, no one has ever survival problems. you can get food by harvesting, and you get money from hunting, not from working a daily job. you don't have to eat when you are logged off, etc etc. that's why a bank wouldn't necessarily work in uo, because people don't necessarily need money at all times. in real life, they do, that's why banks are such motherfuckers.
and when robbers steal from all the big guys (if they can

atleast from nox, they just want to steal items and that's it.
about telborea, even though they rob, it's their rp that they supposedly want to create an empire, fight law, blablabla
