Yes I know I can turn off attack innocents, but im still not used to accidently hitting an ability and getting attacked. I use half my toons for writ bots so i always depo gold and never have any on them to pay the bounties. Its really annoying too because guards camp the banks so I cant get my money out to pay it.

    The professional miscreants who have functionally permanent bounties would rather NOT have money lost from the bank...

    No.

    Turn off attack innocents.

    Or if its a writ character just remove all the ability's from there skill bar.

    Thief hideouts have a bank in them. They also have 2 doors, so there is always a way in.

    It shouldn't be so easy to pick up a bounty while interacting with normal things, like vendors, writ turn ins, etc.

    They want us to get ourselves in trouble!

    Would that be learning what not to do? Considering that a professional with a permanent bounty probably isn't very good at his job, I mean. ;)

    Just go into any thieves den.
    Every one has an entrance that allows you to avoid the guards.
    Every one has a bank that you can get your money out of.
    Every one has a fence that you can pay off your bounty to.

    Bounty doesn't matter until you actually pay it. Getting spotted and getting caught are two completely different things.

    What an utterly pointless addition it would be. Seriously, bounties are a pitiful amount of money.

    No.

    Bounties are effectively capped by what you keep on your character. If you ever get a bounty higher than what you can pay in pocket change, this change would become much more expensive than just dying to the guards or running to a Thieves Den.

    It would be highly inconvenient for Justice system players, who would have to move their bank balance onto other characters if they wanted to completely prevent guards taking money from their bank.

    There's a simple solution for you: keep a couple days worth of writ gold on those characters to pay your accidental bounties.

    You must have forgotten that you paid me for them. They're in your bank now. I just have gold that I don't want to give to the guards.

    Shhh! What kind of illicit supplier outs their clientele? Lol.
    P.s. i wasn't agreeing with the op. I just thought your phrasing of "what I keep in the bank" was very mysterious.

    Far, far too easy to not get caught too, in my book.

    Like, sneak with camera zoomed out. You see all.

    I'd love an increased challenge but here we are.

    Pro tip: if your just doing writs for alts and dont want to worry about bounties. Move said alts to cold harbor. There is a jewelry station there with greymoor and no guards.

    Also, there's no 'no stealing' rule in Hollow City, either.

    if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.
