Prevent stealing system

Sawzallz

Can we get a prevent theft system wr have a prevent friendly kill option, I mean "wanna turn this quest in f**** you ima move over to the right so you can steal my bread", alot of people misclick or phat finger the pick up button and get 250 bounty -_-

Majeure

There's an addon that has an option for this, Azurah.

But yeah, it'd be nice as a built-in option.

Judging by the number of owned objects ZOS intentionally places in front of common interactables and NPCs, having players get unexpected bounties is quite clearly a deliberate design choice.

I don't expect them to lift a finger to change anything about this.

Sawzallz

It's like a middle finger to you from the game

A toggle to prevent attacking Critters would be nice

Sawzallz

Developer: hey wanna see something funny?
Players: plz no.
Developer; ha ha watch this *places not by weapon rack next to a guard with a 3 sec move*

or go with the prevent friendly system

idk

I was I stopped pressing the button a thousand times to turn something in I stopped accidentally steaming. It does take more than one interaction to steal as long as auto loot for stolen goods is turned off.

Sawzallz

I mean how many times in real life have you accidently stolen a item
Doesn't help that every npc is next to stacks of bread

It should be included in "Prevent attacking innocents". Which perhaps should then be renamed "Prevent illegal acts". I'd totes check a box named "Prevent crimes". Be a hero!

Agreed. I can't tell you how many times I've nuked a rat with an ultimate or other skill that was meant for a boss.

Sawzallz

Maybe it is intended but why punish us like this it gets super annoying or make it so you can put it back or something? Idk Im just tired of a quest npc be like "thanks for saving my village" "you monster you stole my bread here's a bounty of 10k

Not appropriate since I have often has prevent attacking innocents off yet theive.

Unless auto loot, including stolen items, is turned on no one accidentally steals with one push if the button. I'm not saying the proposed feature shouldn't be added but there is a great workaround to prevent stealing as if si now. Just slow down. One click at a time.

Can you have auto loot on but not auto loot stolen items?

This simply isn't true. All it takes is one click to accidentally steal an item placed out in the open even with auto loot turned off, it's happened to me way more times than I like. I do agree though, most times it's because I'm rushing, but after doing writs on 6 toons with 4 more to go you're going to start rushing thru clicks.

To op, there will be no changes as this is clearly a deliberate design given the number of useless items placed by damn near every important npc to "mess" with players, for whatever reasons.

Yes. It is a separate toggle that requires the autoloot to be on for starters. With auto loot of stolen items turned off it requires two presses if the button to steal.

Odd how it works well for me ans requires two interactions to steal with auto loot or stolen items turned off.

Yes its already in game just turn off auto.

In game .

Settings
Gameplay
Auto loot
Auto loot stolen items. Click to turn on or off.

It's not about auto loot, guys. This is not about stealing from containers.
Anything that is outside of containers is stolen by one single click/press of a button. So all thos nice staffs and axes around merchants, for example.

There was a thread on this just last week.

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/390109/maiq-wonders-why-there-is-no-prevent-stealing-option-as-there-is-prevent-attacking-innocents/p1

For me, I have issues when I'm trying to buy something from a guild trader and accidently pick up an apple or something. It typically happens in area where it seems to take longer for everything to load in.

There is an incredible Add-On I picked up last week, can check the name of it when I get home, but it won't allow you to steal items unless your crouched

This, or if you just want a mod that only does the no stealing, there is "No Accidental Stealing"
