Pickpocket other Players

Hey

Can you please let us Pickpocket other Players? Lets say a Cap of 100-300 Gold per Day and if they catch you, you must PvP them. And if you loose they get their Gold back plus 200% from the Amount stolen from your Pocket.

Would be fun :smiley:

Thx

    No, that would be a very bad idea. Forced PvP is never acceptable.

    And considering the justice system is purely PvE, it wouldn't make any sense to add something like you suggested.

      Absolutely not, one of the worst ideas. I can just imagine all the highly skilled thieves queuing up to pick other players' pockets while they were otherwise engaged at the crafting station. Just no!

      Ok sure, but to make things fair... I should be able to walk around in pvp zones and click on anyone to force them to immediately port into vMA. Without changing gear or skills. And if they finish it slower than me, I get 10% of their AP and telvar. And they can't return to pvp till they finish it. Yeah! That'd be fun too!

      So if I understand correctly, your plan is enabling players with good pvp skills, good gear and/or high levels to rob others with impunity?

      And if anyone wants to do something about it they'll have to spend time doing some sort of duel immediately, whether they're geared up and in the mood for it or not?
      Which includes a chance to die and loose a soulgem on top of their gold?

      All while winning likely won't get them any reward, because anyone planning a robbing spree will put all of their own money in the bank first?

      Yeah, no. Not unless it's an opt-in. In which case I won't opt in.

      One way this could be made, would be as a matchmade PvP pickpocketing/burglary game mode where you steal as much from a town as possible without getting caught by player guards during the act, which would otherwise result in the guard “confiscating” the currency for themselves, for a new Thieves Guild DLC.

      It would need to be a new currency earned within the specific mode that you build up and could use similar to AP with a Thieves Guild vendor.

      Having players capable of stealing each other’s gold is a hard pass from me, but with enough ingenuity, this could be made into a fun system for everyone to enjoy.

      Right, if we're going down that route, might as well let us BoW players too. Oh, and put fart cushions on tavern seats.

      On second (and first) thought, hell fetching no.

      No but I don't think it would work very well either. NPC pickpocketing works because they only see in 1st person. Players, such as myself, playing in 3rd person can see all of those around us so sneak will take a lot of work to prevent their target from seeing the pickpocket. Assuming this is resolved if you want to talk about breaking immersion having to keep Magelight up all of the time will certainly do that. Not to mention the risk to the victim in getting flagged as instakill by the guards in fending off the pickpocket. It's just a bad idea no matter how you slice it.

      Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

      Hard to say - but something similar as regards open world pvp comes up several times a year.

      I don't think some people realize how much certain subsections of ESO players loathe anything that puts them in conflict with others.

      There's a reason the devs decided against open-world PvP and griefing. Heck, it feels like griefing enough that people can be interrupted from fishing/antiquities/etc. by getting one shot from an Abyssal Tendril because someone else aggroed a Seeker a mile and a half away.

      You want open-world PvP, try a different game.

        This was possible in the PvP server of Ultima Online back in the day, and I'm fairly certain that it was primarily done by people looking to grief other people. They would pickpocket with the intent of getting someone to attack them, at which point they could openly kill them. Very poor idea and something that I don't see working in ESO.
