I support improvements to justice system. It's time to protect the people when guards can't!

Nope. They scrapped it for good reason.

It would be exploited, hard to implement and players would troll/ruin any such system.

Accidentally steal a weapon trying to click on a vendor? Instantly zerg swarmed by 40 justice vigilantes scrubs.

Sounds awesome. Um, no.

We need to start a petition for ZoS to allow players to opt out!

Oh, wait...

The problem with the whole idea is the people that you want to gank (unassuming, no impen, no PVP prowess) will just opt out.

True PVP people will smoke Mr. clever justice vigilante.

The end result is a lot of work by ZOS and it will be largely ignored.

For that justice system. It could have been great.

Use a tabard system.

For the theives you have to be wearing the tabard to while stealing to get a 100% bonus on stolen good sales (or some such bonus), and if taken off after having stolen something and not fencing it you lose the bonus but can no longer be killed. The fences pop up at random locations in certain towns and main cities (to prevent guards camping).

Guards have to be wearing the tabard for 20 seconds before being able to do anything and when killing a theif they can reclaim the stolen goods and return them, the return people are in random areas and ofcourse you can be killed back and have the stolen items taken off you. If you catch a theif and they have not actually stolen something, they cannot be touched but if they have, just seeing them will make them glow red and give them a bounty and killing them will allow you to also claim a portion said bounty directly from the theifs own pocket. Guards can always be killed.

You cannot port while wearing the tabard or wear any costumes/polymorphs while wearing the tabard.

This system I've laid out ofcourse is not perfect but it would have allowed people who wanted to participate to use a tabard and go have fun with it. And those that just wanted to steal regularly to do so with less of a payoff but alot less risk.

Perhaps it is time to reign in some of the activities of the Dark Brotherhood. The streets of towns such as Balmora are either deserted or running with blood.

Any point of civilisation suffering such depletions of its residents would either not venture forth, form vigilante mobs hunting down the killers or create a militia since the guards fail to spot, aprehend and jail or kill most of the offenders.

While I appreciate that the objective of most is the hunting of various motifs, it appears most of the adventurers bother little about trying to acquire the goods through guile and picking pockets but go straight for the kill, looting the corpse and moving on to the next target.

Maybe some of the residents should have some of the similar immortal genes of the guards - of course the contents of their pockets should perhaps regenerate faster, but at least this would give the towns and cities a chance to live and survive and not become deserted due to mass killings and residents moving on to escape the carnage!

Perhaps a limit on the number of 'assassinations' in any particular area or zone ? Rumours spread, the area becomes too 'hot' for someone to work in for a while, even if no bounty is accumulated ?

I know this may not be a popular view with all, especially those hard working members of the Dark Brotherhood - however I am sure the loyal and dilligent participants from the Thieves Guild would support it as it could only mean a rise in revenue.

Agree one hundred percent, perhaps create a vigilante skill line or something to call the guards on people doing this in broad daylight, SOMETHING. Its beyond annoying , and a lot of people called it before it was allowed, seeing tons of dead npcs everywhere.

Why not make guards and quest npcs killable?Would love to rid the world of Stuga.
