Pickpocket on rogues was the classic vision of Verant when this game was made.

As a fellow OP mage I say give rogues a break let them farm diamonds off you.

Also half the time most people dont grind with see invis on so you might not even notice them.

Thats a good point, most of the players of classic were on blue servers, was pickpocket disabled on live blue servers?

to be honest i asked a while back in a diff. thread about a separate loot table for rogues, as I thought I remembered not having to worry about stealing my own groups on Rodcet Nife (blue).

To answer your Q Taxi, pickpocket was fully enabled and apparently pulled the loot out of the same loot table. I must have misremembered having a pickpocket loot table separate from the normal one according to the replies I received.

On live I would tell groups that it pulled from a seperate loot table and didnt effect drops from the group.

Shit was Ca$h

I usually ML'd in my groups, pumped STR into my rogue even back in the day. Pretty sure I was usually fair about splitting the gems both looted and PP'd when doing Sebilis for examp.

In the words of Taysh, a Wood Elf Rogue and Officer of Vesica Dei, who upon being asked wtf he was doing as he repeatedly pickpocketed someone killing SGs in Oasis, had this to say:

"I am a Rogue, I will do whatever I wish."

Not quite...

The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can’t. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you’ll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can’t bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

Back on the Classic Server, rogues used to be able to pickpocket anything.

For example, anything on a mobs loot table was fair game. After enough people finished killing a raid boss (Naggy, Vox, Cazic for example), loot the corpse, and finding nothing on it they finally complained enough that the devs limited Rogue PP to non-magical items.

Personally I have no problem with Rogues taking PP from engaged or non-engaged mobs. I also have no problem with Rogues pickpocketing items from named mobs before they are engaged.

On the other hand, the rogue is supposed to be the outlaw, the rebel, the thief. It fits perfectly into the class that the rogue can 'steal' from other players.

I doubt the devs are going to do anything about it. The mechanic is fine, you just have to convince the people playing the 'outlaw' class to play nice.
