How do I say this? Simply put, PPing isn’t fun. When I first started playing the game I used to PP to get people riled up. At that point I had come from another site where we used to “loot” players just to piss them off. I came here & got excited because I thought I’d be able to take out of someone’s pockets what I’ve been seeing in my top left corner. Just to find out I could only take $5k at max...WTF is that?! Then, here’s the kicker! I only took $5k but yet there’s a possibility to lose 5x that amount ALONG with my gun?! So in other words I’m gaining nothing but losing way more.

I see all these PP policies, some city rules about PPing, and the whole “let me message this guy he really just grinded my gears (my personal favorite). I understand the whole respect thing, and I understand some people do it for the xp, but damnit can we please add some fun to this? If we could take more money I personally think it would add more flavor to the game. We already have the restrictions of not being able to overstep our boundaries as far as not being able to put your hands in the pocket of someone that outranks us by far. What do you guys say? Increase the amount for a pickpocket?

Opinions? 

What does this need to go into effect? Do I need to do a survey or something lol

PPing should be just as fun as mugging...if not even MORE fun. ;D

It would be sweet if we could fight back while getting mugged. Like, have some sort of duel mechanism, a mug battle, if you will. Winner gets money. 

Boogie fought back for his life after you mugged him. He was able to counter your sweet moves and came out on top. As you lay on the floor unable to get back up, he puts his foot on your chest and yells, "Who's the punk now?!" He reaches into your pockets and takes $54,673,562,787

I’m all for whatever’s going to make PPing fun. My only thing about your contribution is this: what would the deciding factor that’d make you or me the winner of the mug battle? Physique? Would there be a timer of how long I needed to click whatever option to fight back? Etc etc.

listen I’m all for whatever. I just find it that one of the best features is going to waste.

1) If you have the balls to walk around with a million dollars, you should expect the unexpected. I’m from real life Brooklyn & if I’m gonna walk around with a chain that cost 50k$ I’m expecting the unexpected.

2) If you have the balls to rob me for my 50k$ chain? & on top of that you’re not stealthy? You can expect to get shot in your fucking face.

Now Squishy before you come tell us about the CLs? I don’t see why they’d ban PPing. First of all, it’s a very important part of the game because it’s one of the features that give xp. I’ve even seen some people back when I first started using the PP method to test someone’s vision or to even test out how stealthy they’d be.

Im not worried about someone taking out an entire city because of ONE PP. If that happens? & everybody CL has that mentality? They’re morons. I know personally that my current CL, and he’ll even my FIRST CL, would’ve tried to talk the entire thing out & maybe even ask for double compensation if I could even see who PP’d me for let’s say 350k$. If he didn’t budge then that’ll be a different story.

Again, what do I need to do for this to happen?

I don't think it'd necessarily be a bad idea to allow a successful pickpocket to take 1%-5% of a user's on hand cash depending on the pickpocketer's skill.  The amount stolen would be down to what the victim decided to have flaunting around on their wealth status, and if rules are already in place to prevent a feature from being banned I don't see why we shouldn't be open to changing it if the majority wants it.

I'm not going to bullshit you. This modification of a feature as you called it doesn't improve the site significantly. Nor does it take away from it. I'm not saying go back to those days of someone PPing everything someone has to offer. Not sure about everybody else but I damn sure don't keep all my $ in one pocket. What I'm saying is, increase the cap amount. Be honest, we both know 5k$ is bullshit bro. It may have been cool to calm the fire back then but now?

You could increase the cap to say about 50-75kish. You could even use Yacht's idea of adding a lowly %. Probably even higher than 5%. What about 10%! I'm not saying program it to the point where every PP is a shitload of money, bcus even now I might not get the whole 5k$ off somebody. All I'm saying is this. I find it wild how I can suffer more off of a mug than I can off of gaining with a PP. Some people are able to wipe their ass with a million dollars. Some make a million a day. 5k$?! Come one.

Like Yacht said we already have it set up where a CL can't banned PPing. Nor am I asking for a hug change like "shut giz me all ya monies!!"

All I'm saying is, a higher cap than 5k wouldn't hurt the game as much as it would help the revival of PPing. I really love to PP. (no homo)

It's a really unique feature I've only seen here.

P.S There are TWO inevitable things that's going to happen.

1) People are gonna cry. You can give everybody a max account with a billion free creds. They'd still find something to cry about. "It's boring please go back". Same people that complained about the stuff during the golden ages, are the same ones complaining for the golden ages to come back.

2) People are gonna die. Not by you, by you, 10 years ago, 10 years from now etc etc.

There's no need to pickpocket someone for all they have, but maybe management can increase the number a bit. I don't know, maybe allow us to steal their drugs and allow us to pick pocket up to 25k. I don't think that anyone will go to war over 25k.

Why? Why would you want that? If you want to steal people’s money, take full vision and mug them. Ez pz

there’s already enough complaining about that, don’t need to add more in my opinion 

So tell me this The_Kid

Are people complaining about the amount of CAP MONEY (which is currently 5k) coming out of their pocket? Or are people complaining about the lack of respect for the fact that someone has the balls to even go in their pockets?

Also, tell me another thing. Is there much of a problem to raise the cap to 25k? Why don't you think it should be raised?

So far the score is 3-1 

I can relate to everything Squishy said. Sometimes it's just not worth the backlash. I was around when PP's were a lot more money in your pockets, I was one of the leaders who got sick and tired of people bitching and moaning in my inbox, I was one of those leaders that had to listen to death threats and shots that were taken, and I was one of the leaders that got so sick and tired of it that said "Nope. No more. Don't pocket others unless you have their permission in writing!". We just wanted to end the daily whining and crying. Thus came the "PP Friendly" tags and Squishy's eventual capping of how much you took.

People that were just about to bank would complain.

People that were just selling drugs with no chance to bank would complain.

People that were buying bodyguards in a large number would complain. (This was before upkeep and training when you paid for a fully trained and healthy bodyguard up front.)

All people did was bitch and complain to us leaders, the staff got mail about it too. 

All in all, it's not worth upping the cap in my eyes. Not worth it at all.

So make that a 3-2. What Squishy says actually DID happen and I don't blame him for not wanting to go through that again.

make it upto 50k 

Boobie, people complain someone steals 5k off of them. Imagine if they would get all their money stolen, we wouldn’t hear the last of it.

I don’t mind raising it to 25k thought, that sounds reasonable to me

I am not for this.

I am good to leave it where it's at.

Why are we doing anger management in a game? Shouldn't the game have a clear vision on how things should be?
If it was meant to be a feature to steal all your money, people can cry all they want, but the reality is - they knew there was a such a possibility. Just because they didn't take proper measures for the chance of that happening does not mean you change or destroy the feature to the point it's no longer used for it's original purpose. Current purpose is an exploitable one. To locate people and farm experience. Hardly anyone is pp-ing for the money, knowing fully that mugging is a thing.

I wonder what people do when they lose all their money in a casino or dice. Do they cry to someone too? You've took that chance, it's on you. I'm all for changing this to anything but what it is now. I'm even fine with it reverted back to the old days. People need to learn how the game works, not cry over a river and dictate this is wrong because I lost all my cash, when I could have negated it all by simply clicking a button and not being a cheeky lazy person.  (P.S: The button is called "Deposit")

It got bumped up, Go Boogie ;)
