People don't have pickpocket as part of their evade macro? :P

I do. And sense heading! Need dem skill ups.

Historically on P99, GM have told players there's nothing they can do about a rogue doing such a thing. You really shouldn't because it's just being a loser. PP from your group and risk getting kicked out or PP solo and risk dying. Without that risk, you're just being a scumbag. People doing it is classic though.

BTW Kanras absolutely destroyed pickpocket and nerfed it to non-classic state by removing "monster" flag from allowable targets. What does this mean? Hill Giants, the classic rogue PP victim, can't be stolen from. So in this current state, this conversation isn't worth having.

I don't remember when in the live timeline rogue pickpocket gets its own separate loot table, but hold onto that little shred of hope that maybe someday you won't have to care about rogues pickpocketing. I know I do.

Do you ever think that maybe that rumor was started by a rogue for laughs? I do! No such point in live timetable existed.

Why on earth would anyone have an evade macro?

Just because you like to plow enrage doesn't mean other people do.

I evade like any other competent rogue. I do it manually though. I like the extra control that not using macro provides.

After all, rogues are the Ferrari's of EQ. You wouldn't put an automatic transmission in a Ferrari. Why hamper a rogue with lack of precise control.

Juevento evades manually, Rav's macro is /at off /hide, my macro is /at off /hide /at on. It's a simply a matter of preference and not worth fighting over. Mine functions best with positioning, Rav's functions best with control of agro, and Juevento's gives the impression there's actually buttons to push as a rogue.

lol

[Juevento]

Ouch. That hurt.

I don't remember the last time I used pick pocket outside of snagging parchments. I ought to do that more often.

I can see the whole 'keep it classic' argument as well as that of letting rogues be rogues. But the way I see it, once you get caught out, you should move along without requiring people to petition away. At first I thought 'hah sneaky bastard' but after a couple hours of him doing it and no way for us to retaliate or do anything else to resolve the matter, it became quite frustrating.
