traders over lvl 30 shouldnt be able to do 1*s, 1*s should be for training, every one always has to be a p***y and do 1*s. then they complain about popping which thieves dont peticularly like to do either. popping wouldnt happen if traders did somthing other then 1*s, or if they could attack them.

Well that was a waste of 14 seconds.

just felt like sharing that lol i dont rly care if anyone agrees or not.

might be unballanced

Cos if I`m 30 and then I have to be aware of all the people who`s higher lvl than me, even if they don`t suit the thief, just they see me , chachachachannnnn Thief conversion, and, OMG xD

I totally agree.

I was theiving yesterday and came accross a 1* on an ironclad trading horse!

A lvl 60+ Doing a 1*?

I felt liek being mean so i joined a party and spawned 8 white spiders on him while i sat and watched...

He did'nt die, though his horse did.

lol and he one-hitted you afterwards rite?

If you wan't to pvp, do a multi

if not, do a 1 star

I'm happy they made it this way

what about the high lvls theives picking on low lvl merchants then? is it fair to high levels to rob merchants lower than their lvl?

Hell no...but then, did the trader caravans along the Silk Road of ancient China have protection from more talented deviants than they? No.

Who cares if it's not fair, that's the way it is. Just keep the knowledge in your head that they're being bitch ass pussys demonstrating little or no skill in killing someone 40 levels lower than them lol.

If you think poping would not happen if traders did something other than 1* then you would be right. The name for what would happen is slaughter. It happens less at 60+ but it does happen. And about the thing about thieves not liking to pop 1*. You must not have talked to many thieves. Sure they would prefer to catch multi. But many are so keen to pop they pop multi star as well.

Alot of this is gonna get fixed in a future update. But poping is only bad because most people do it for the wrong reasons or are total dicks about it. I was out with a 24+ guilde of mine thieving. Came upon a 30ish on horse and a 20ish on camel. The 20ish put up a decent fight. Though once I got a second spawn it was all over for him. And the 30ish wandered in close on foot and got slaughtered. I have been in similar scenarios from the opposite side many times. But what I did next no one ever did for me. I scrolled with the goods had my fun and paid them back the tiny bit of money I made plus interest. Thieving should be done for fun. Not for money. Many of the traders don't trade for fun. It is hardly ever fun. So if you are gonna prey on them don't be a douche bag. Have your fun. But when it is done try and have a heart and remember what it was like when you were there. Hell when I caught up with them to give them the money they were on a other trade run and i ran along most of the way as escort. No better way to make friends than to rob them. Pay them interest. And help on the next run. Many are just dumbfounded. But it makes a good conversation piece that they will tell to everyone and likely remember as long as they play.

People tend to remember the most recent thing you've done for them the most vividly. I helped a guy on six trades from Jangan to Hotan and back for no profit. Few days later, I'm thieving, see a merchant, rob him, not having a clue it's the guy I helped earlier in the week. Next thing I know, there's a global with him offering 500k to anyone who murders me, and calling me two-faced (o.o). Retarded proposition honestly, all that happened was that I killed a bunch of purple people :/.

Geez calm your nipples. Just wait until the new job expansion,(lols im talking like a WoW geek xD DANG WoW!)hunter-trader and thief partys will make the game funner and encourage people to job and team^

you gotta count in many other factors

1. what if the high lvls are using a PvM build, like hybrid cold archer, they will be useless at PvP

2. wat about 1v1 builds? like bladers (bladers are 1v1 to me), it aint gonna be fair to them

3. what about poor chars? ppl w/ cheap gear

i think the way it is right now is good, 1* if u dun want to pvp, multi if u want to

lol what are u talking about 1 star popping ive never heard of such a thing on red sea honestly a group of theives will start popping then 5 mins later 10+ hunters will come and own them. i do a 3 star horse trade everyday but i take the back roads

If he could of caught me then maybe with a crit....

But i had drug of typoon and i zerked outta there fast after the show

lol..1 star trade..no high lvl thiefs will owned you. unless they mob ya...

btw, how high is your success rate in trading?? ive seen dumbass Silk_Mast3r owned me long time ago waiting at the last bridge lurking for traders like us.

bcarefull lol...last bridge is not as safe as you think...

If you think poping would not happen if traders did something other than 1* then you would be right. The name for what would happen is slaughter. It happens less at 60+ but it does happen.

slaughter happens through popping anyway, example: lvl 60 thief lvl 30 merchant, 1 or 2 thieves popped and the merchant gets pwnt.
we should have somthing like any one over 30 has to do 2* or higher, but thieves higher then 40 cant attack them. same with the other *s .

all part of the game ^^

all part of the game ^^

look around and find multi stars. i found a few yesterday, pwndeded them all, then got chased around for hours by 5 hunters, slowly picked them all off, then let them kill me and talk shit as i went back to town.

bladers ftw.

oh, and on topic, quit whining and play the game, or play another game, or well.... maybe just quit playing games and go get drunk.

lvoe the get drunk idea HOWEVER.. most of us are below 21

that stops you how? lol

I've been popped many times and honestly most thiefs
that i have came across i've seemed to get along with
them and have a little talk and a laugh then we go back doing
what job we're doing so it doesn't worry me.

But i think it would be better not to have lvl 30+ all doing
2 star because theres the level 45+ and all that succeeding
so maybe take it so that you can't do 1* around lvl 43-50
and that should hopefuly even a little bit of the 2 jobs out....

BUT!! what about the hunters job? what's in it for them?

+1. The first time i ever did a 1-star run on my first lvl 20 file, I almost got spawned by a lvl 65+ trader doing a 1-star

1*'s are for pussies. Unless it's your first time ever trading. Sorry if I offend you but you're still a pussy for doing 1* trades only. Can't risk 45k for a 5*? Less for a 3 or 4? Utterly pathetic.

Yall should try a 5* sometime, WITHOUT A BUNCH OF HUNTERS 60+ SURROUNDING YOU LOL. I mean yeah if you wanna succeed for sure then bring em all out, but damn have some fun, make it a challenge and actually get off your lame ass convoy animals. Kill the spawned thieves yourself from a 5*. It's fun.

Umm yeah aside for the fact that when it double spawns and you are alone.......... uhh yeah. Kinda suks without the hunters. Hunters are part of the game using hunters on 5 stars is definitely acceptable, and any thief who thinks that it is noobish should definitely reconsider.

You can't handle double-spawn of thieves your lvl? I can. You must have shitty gear or a shitty build. Sucks for you.

Did I ever say not to use hunters on a 5*? I said TRY a 5* without a guild full of hunters with you. Re-read it.

And I'm not a thief. Havn't put a thief suit on in my SRO career yet. Only tried hunting and trading so far. And 5* trading is the shit.

1. they aren't your level when doing a 5 star
2. whatever build you got, the trade animal still takes a whole lot of beating. hard spamming the hp pills for it and beating 10 theives at the same time

lmao... this coming from a guy whos 3x?

inexperience !!!!

Why are people arguing? I said IF YOU WANT A CHALLENGE. Holy shit fuck you guys. Ridiculous. Did I hurt your feelings cos you only do 1*'s, is that it?

And yes they are your lvl. Well they're white anyways. So they could be lower.

Dude aren't you one of the people who never does 5*'s? I do. So don't try and tell me something about them lol.
