Also, with your quote here, Im curious to know how you feel about the stealing skill in the game. Getting items stolen from you at the bank without the thief turning grey/getting gwhacked? What should we do about this problem? Nerf stealing/items until it fits a description/mechanic you deem is fitting? Remove thieving altogether since its a 'threat to our playerbase'?
Also, you need to realize, many players play uo for this very reason....to do these EXACT things! Isn't that just as big a risk....losing potential long-term members/potential doantors...compared to losing a few sensitive players who QQ and bug the piss out of staff about everything just because they forgot to take their tampon out?
This is a big boy(FEL)shard, stop trying to play that down and defend the rules that are making it the opposite.
How is my analogy any different from UO? if I left my guild doors open and or I was careless with whom I was recruiting you don't punish the victim of the crime, how am I to make a comparison to something without using real life? I live in the real life, just because comparing things works well with my point and badly for yours does not make it any less valid.
How is thieving a threat to our playerbase, i've never stolen anything so I would know but last i remember trying to steal an item past any kind of weight limit was very hard, whereas with guild looting you have a chest or chest(s) full of items and a ban right next to it where you can take literally everything in seconds, there's no risk to it, no work.
And how am I coming into this? I don't deem anything fitting, I'm simply stating what the situation is and why I think it is, you could put guild looting on tomorrow and I wouldn't really mind, well that's not true, I would mind in a short while because everyone will leave because the guilds will crumble in short pace.
People play on UO shards that cater to their playstyle, this shard does not, no one is stopping you from playing those shards so you can do that exact stuff.
I am not playing it down again for the 7th time now, I agree with you, but this is not just a FEL shard this is Imagine Nation and Taran makes IN whatever he pleases even if it makes whomever unhappy, it's his show.
