Bug thievery problems?

[alexhoff1]

I'm not sure how to put this, aside from it seems that there is a few problems with the skill "thievery"

A. it breaks whenever they move right away and puts you back on cooldown
B. currently at level 36 I can not take a single item after the initial first pickpocket (what's up with that?) - this includes redstone dust. (I even went as low as a snowball -.-)



not sure if this is intended or not.. but it seems to break the skill with these 3 problems.

On a side note - if you're a rogue based spec and sneaking you can not use shops (whether they are your own or not)

You level the thievey skill with practice, start with sticks and arrows, then it allows you to move on.

We're changing up some things in Thievery to make it more balanced;

Instant Death if caught
Less spammy/apparent 'failure' messages
Better chance to steal

Please implement a different punishment for failure! Thievery is almost worthless now, as it is simply not worth trying any more. I think that a lot of the suggestions put forward in this thread are very good!

Seriously, just steal stuff with an empty inventory. Problem solved.

There is risk vs reward - if you dont want the reward, dont take the risk.
