    If I could award you a trophy for "Worst Forum Idea Ever" I would. It would be used 99% of the time to grief.

    And to those supporting the idea and fondly remembering open world pvp games, go play those if that's what you want.

    No, that is 100%. The idea is completely about griefing, because for some people, that is the whole point of multi-player. They don’t enjoy winning, they only enjoy someone else losing.

    The problem is that so many people are like that, the producers of the game feel they have to cater to them, or lose revenue. It is also why we get “exclusive” offers, where the entire appeal is in denying it to others.

    And then people would wonder why nobody plays the game anymore.

    This is exactly my feeling too. Some things people suggest are just wild

    Great idea, OP! Let's also make it so that pvp players could guild up and raid other players in trials or dungeons while we are at it, give them the ability to steal that perfected weapon you just looted from the last boss 😉

    If you want open world non-consensual PvP where players can steal from each other, might I suggest you create a Red Dead Online account and go steal trader wagons from posses?

    Something like that already exists in Imperial City, where the dying player loses half their Tel Var Stones, which is evenly divided among the players that killed them.

    In my opinion, having players steal gold from you would be a HUGE red flag and drive many players away from the game.

    Yeah, no.

    This. It is something that is extremely unlikely to happen.

    After reading the Comments i can safely say no one likes my Idea.

    But you are still wrong.

    While the suggested change is not likely to happen I would never suggest someone was wrong for holding an opinion on something either way. Everyone's opinion on the matter is equally important.

    no to the pickpocketing

    yes to open world pvp.

    at least in the arena areas, of which there are many. we need more of this.

    Nope. Go play some other game. Thank the Divines that the devs have corraled pvp into Cyro and BGs.

    you don't want arenas to be a pvp area? everything should just be an explorable monument with no real function?

    That is not what they were saying. Not even close.

    Hmm, I like the idea but it's too limited. I think instead you should, if you have the proper perks, be able to take another player's armor and weapons. Actually, the person woth the crown idea might be on to something; what if we gave every successful pickpocket a 1% chance to give the other party's credit card information?

    I bet that would make people really feel immersed!

    Similar to the idea of a vet overland, I could see a PVP overland be implemented. That's basically what you're requesting, except with more griefing. So for your idea, that's a no. It's making it mandatory to participate in PVP, which a ton of people just do not want. But letting people voluntarily choose to enter a PVP world could be neat.

    This system would be easily exploitable to kill people in non-pvp zones:

    Step 1: Pickpocket a player
    Step 2: Get in front of the player to "get caught"
    Step 3: Kill the unsuspected player with a superior pvp gear

    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.

    If that happened, I'd log out immediately. If it happened more than once, I'd cancel 3 annual subs and go back to TES V.

    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
