Should you be able to pickpocket other players?

Though they have to be carrying a minimum amount of gold on them and people will store their most valued items in their bank to keep it safe.

madchuska83✭✭✭✭✭NoHow pissed off I'd be if I had collected a nice weapon or armor to have it snatched while heading to the bank, or even in the bank. That's some controller through the screen type sh*t.8 -
ShiunTraze✭✭Make it very difficult for them to even pickpocketThere's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.0 -
Kuroinu✭✭✭✭✭NoThe only way I see this working is if the victim has a randomly generated inventory that's separate from their own inventory. Allowing people to steal actual items and/or gold that another player has worked for borders on actual theft, lol.

game got too disappointing.1 -
Tholian1✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoOutside of Cyrodiil? No. Unless it was completely opt in only. I would like to see more mechanics introduced that encourages more cooperation amongst the players.
ETA: maybe if there was meaningful punishment for getting caught. Like being sent to prison. Of course it would be a split second time in prison, but your skills and abilities would degrade a noticeable amount and you would need to grind the XP all over again. Plus a 7 day cool down before you can continue your life of crime again.Edited by Tholian1 on August 3, 2015 3:34AMPS4 Pro NA0 -

Cookiethief✭✭✭NoYes if I can catch them, beat them up, tie them up,throw them off the weeping giant and make them uninstallMy biggest fear in life is, ending up marrying a girl who is lactose intolerant, think about it you would have to purchase double the amount of milk every week, cause you enjoy the goodness of full cream milk and she is drinking soy beans, and her milk takes up extra room in the fridge, or when you are doing a midnight run to the fridge to get a nice cup of milk and to accidentally pour some Soy milk. I couldn't imagine a worst way to do married life. - Barry Scott2 -
Eriquito3✭✭✭✭NoNo. I would be pissed if an item that took me awhile to get, got stolen from me by some nred or group of nerds.

thunderwell✭✭✭NoI do NOT want a shiny, new piece of gear that I'm one level below of using to be snatched away by some jerk-hole troll.
As suggested before, if a different, random inventory was generated for the would-be theif, then and only then would I say yes.
Until then, no, no, A THOUSAND TIMES NO!

Ackwalan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Gold yes. But just a small amount, maybe 2-3 gold per level of victim. And if you get caught, the victim gets 2-3 gold per level of the thief. This shouldn't be a money maker, just a fun gimmick.
For items, no.1 -

OzJohnD✭✭✭✭NoIf it is a random loot as per NPC pickpocket (ie. not from the player's inventory or own gold ) ... yes
if it triggers a disreputable flag that you have to wait out like an NPC pickpocket ... yes
If it triggers the ability for that player to kill you without activating a Justice penalty ... yes
otherwise no
it will be a griefer paradise and ruin the game for a significant number of people who do not consent to be in what is effectively an open world PvP setting
no, definitively no
Not sure why this is even a questionEveryone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

nordsavage✭✭✭✭✭NoLast thing needed is 500 morons just stealing from other players all day. That's all the game would become and I would stop play rather than dodging said 500 morons all day every time I play.I didn't choose tank life, tank life chose me.7

Mitchblue✭✭✭✭YesMake it hard and if you fail the player gets his head cut off, instantly, by the other player.Anyone else rooting for Molag Bal?1

✭✭NoOk for those who are saying "yes it be fun" how would you feel if some one stole your hard earned gold or your 10 psijic exp drinks or you 7 out of 10 imperial daedric motif chapters?2 -
S1ipperyJim✭✭✭✭✭Only for gold and only up to a maximum amount (ie pocket change, perhaps $1000, passives effect max amount) this is actually an interesting idea as it would make it a little risky to enter cities (sort of like IRL) without taking precautions0 -

This is a multiplayer game.
And those who think it wouldn't be fun if stuff is stolen from you, well how about you steal from others?Xbox One - NA

TheShadowScout✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YesYes, but with severe limitations. No items, only gold, and a hefty limit to that too - it should not be something that can be abused to screw someone over, merely a flavor addition.
Meaning, not only should there be a low cap on how much gold you can take from anbother player (I'd say, at most 150 gold, or 10% of what they're carrying, whichever is less), there also needs to be an long "already pickpocketed" status that keeps one safe frum further pickpocket attempts, or thieving players will just steal again and again until someone is throughtly frustrated at having all their money stolen.
Purse snatching for small change (and bragging rights) is okay. Screwing players is not.
Alternately there could be some system that allows players to make payment for stuff (repairs, guild vendors, merchants, etc.) from their bank... that way, noone would have to carry much gold with them, and all the did carry they knew could be stolen...1 -

✭NoThough they have to be carrying a minimum amount of gold on them and people will store their most valued items in their bank to keep it safe.
Yeah I'm saying 100% no to this.
It's bad enough they decided to add collectibles and PVE content to Cyrodiil. It took me nearly a week to finish all the caves and skyshards - I got harassed by enemy players countless times during my adventure and honestly if they had been able to steal my gear I would have ragequit.
It's already not fun trying to quest in Cyrodiil, why in Oblivion would you want to make it even worse by making it possible to lose our damn gear?
Also this would just open the door for cheap scrub play and grieving, scrubs can find an idling player, steal a vet players gear and never have to actually do anything on their own. Or you'll get a crowd of 25 players who travel in packs looking for other players who have 100% no chance to escape such a massive mob and they'll just grief the crap out of PVP....
No, horrible idea without any thought of consequences, sorry just a plain bad idea."You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"2 -
