If guards pew pew us, we go to Wrong and someone has to clear it to the last lvl or something and click a lever so the robber can get out again.

Edit: Plus a system like that would exist already with Salvation rite IF they were to turn in...but just stoning could work too xD

we are not 15 years old or some of us are? lets take out these words like d**k or Fu** Bu**s!!! be nice.. here are others ppls too.

read my last words again if you didnt see them before.
do what you are doing... rob everyone who you want and loot them all if you think thats fine to you...
there are no robbers around who will robb every your charr.. you are free to run around without any risk.
but we cant. lets wait and see the player base when it goes like that.

Dont forget old Telborea. Johnny slaying people for dem carrots :D

Lets go back to loot only gems, gold, potions like it used to be for a while, people fighting in indys and stuff. Noone loosing anything and noone buying any new armors.

1) Don't go to dungeons
2) Use gear you can afford and that's good enough for the trip you're doing; I generally go with lunar/force/aork, vampire/titan
3) Use "expensive" gear only when it's really needed, like in Destard for example, even then be sure to have similar backup gear
4) Don't leave your house open if you macro there, and it's out of guardzone
5) Boycott the merchant characters who associate with robbers
6) If you're at all into PvP, or have a druid or bard for blessing up or an overtly rich merchant, join the robber-chaser teams or become their ally/helper/donator...

Also, from what I know, robbers can't ask for jewels and kill you+your steed if you don't have any or have those hidden under your cap. They can ask you to remove your cap etc, but they can't kill you if you comply and they can't prove you have something they want without killing you.

7) Use the forementioned for your advantage if you feel like it

If you think the robbery was illegal (which it was not, victims were halted but they still ran) just contact gamemasters, making it a public spectacle is just nonsense.

Why can't all character classes have at least 40 snooping (NOT stealing, just snooping, in case they'd want to be robbers) to see backpacks? We all have tracking for example, anyway. Snooping would be very important for robbing, which has always existed, and in theory any class, even merchants, can be robbers (long ago Pangaea had an alchemist robber).

Then you've had it way too easy, there's no pang without robbers.
