Ive been training everywhere for a few days and noticeing very lil gold on monsters and not just me but others who want to enjoy this game and want to make a lil gold for our effort for training for hours. i would like to suggest thiefs shouldnt beable to steal gold from monsters nemore because its kinda useless... you dont get hardly ne exp nemore. and it really bothers players when they go to train and try to gather a lil gold and monsters dont have it, if someone cant go out and kill the monster for the gold i think its a lazy way to get money and annoying others who do kill and get nothing.

I disagree... those rare few who choose to use their thieves as thieves should get to do so.
Yes it can be annoying when you kill a monster and get nothing, but so what... it's fairly easy to go and kill some more things to get gold.

A person going out and stealing (and actually succeeding at stealing) from a monster is doing just as much training as someone who goes out and kills it.
They might not get as much xp... does that matter? After all, people kill things that don't give them much xp sometimes

Besides, thieves... well, they're meant to steal things. You can't really say they shouldn't be able to steal gold by saying its a "lazy" way to gain gold. It doesn't matter- for thieves its a legitimate way
Please don't suggest taking away the one thing that actually makes them thieves ^^

I think Charon has stated it clearly. Thieves have the ability to steal... Which makes them thieves. Why take it away?

[Bouncer]

Very well if some of the higher class players with enough gold to be happy *or so to speak* think thieves should keep this ability to steal from monsters, then why am i seen it is worthless to go to, for example for a lower class player who has not much gold spend around 28k on mana to train 2 hours out in the desert with 10 alts, and i clearly state main party is 8 zerkers all lvl 28+ and 2 clerics and only come back with 60k? and could of lvled a couple characters? seem logical? im only stateing that it is a lil unfair. For a character ive seen in lots of game never steal from monsters, mainly humans/players... i can come out with over 200k in desert but when people steal the gold and leave monster with no gold makes it kinda hard to buy more mana to make more trips... it makes training so boring and unwillingly to play is all im stating.

So find them and kill them, Sheesh!

I almost exclusively play thieves and I never steal gold - I think it's worthless. However, in the coarse of my killing monsters, nearly all of them have their normal amount of gold, and often enough they even have a great deal more on them from when some poor adventured died at their claws.

[Charon]

Just because its almost a useless ability doesn't mean it should be taken away ^^

I know how annoying it is to kill and get nothing- there used to be thieves doing that in the IT when I trained there, I used to come out without enough money to buy any new mana because all the bats had had their money stolen.

I know that often a similar thing happens in the desert

But don't you see... by stealing from the monsters, the thieves are effectively stealing from you (over time) which is what they are meant to do. Because, as I stated before they're thieves.
Yes, they're more useful as assassins and mana carriers... but they are, when it comes down to it, thieves (even if not all people use them to steal gold )

Just because its annoying... or even worthless... isn't really a good reason for it to be removed ^^

[Bishop]

In case it wasn't clear - by saying that I think 'Steal Gold' is worthless, I'm not saying that I agree that it should be taken away - if some people like to use it, more power to them. And, if you don't like it (people using steal gold), find the thief and kill him/her.

[ice_cold]

someone slap this nub. i remember when people only used 1 crit. you think 60k is slow, think about using 1 crit at a time. i STILL dont use more then 3 crits. so hush your wining little one.

[Recall]

If you start training and find out that thieves have been stealing gold why not just come back later? Other people will come and kill those monsters that have had there gold stolen ( some one like Bouncer would at least)....and omg! you will not waste mana!

[Gaddy]

...could people whine a little more?

[EvilDognapot]

just thinking of prior experiences here, but if you're noticing monsters are missing gold, then there's a good chance that you've been spotted and are about to be attacked; unless of course, you wish to clear out old monsters and make way for new refreshed monsters. atleast that was what commonly happened around me. however, most people left because they were "training" which somehow exists seperately from "playing the game". boo-hoo, this isn't progress quest.

[Satterlee]

Get the hell over it. Just because you can't go dominate every living thing with your berserks and get full gold for it doesn't mean your being cheated out. You honestly think you're the only one in this game who kills a monster and gets no gold? Bullsh*t. It's one thing to suggest ideas or unfair gameplay, but to actually suggest taking a thief's thieving ability away? How bout I take all your dumbass berserker's 'berserk' away? It's a bit overpowered in my opinion, considering you can round me. In fact, that cleric makes it too easy for you to train, and us people with no arch clerics are being cheated. Let's take your Divine Restoration away. Ride with the punches, and get over it.

Its a **thief**

If it cant steal, then how can it be a thief
