Pickpocket Messages / Stealth Started by: Bangarang on Feb 20, '13 16:33

I don't believe this has been suggested before and I think this is fairly simple. Apologies for the terrible topic name.

As it stands there are two messages that you can get while attmepting to pp someone who has been pp'd recently. The first is the "Arms aren't long enough", and the other is "On edge, you have to wait a while" (Im paraphrasing of course)

Even if someone has been pp'd recently if you attempt them from another city it still gives you the 'Arms not long enough' message. As a result, even if a person is 'pp pro'd', you can still determine if they are in your city or not by attempting to pp them. 

This creates a similar situation to years ago when you could check someones location even if they were pro'd by trying to wack them. This was the case until the admins instituted the universal 'User is protected or not in your city' message.

My suggestion is to make the same type of message for when someone has pp pro, something along the lines of "This user has been pp'd recently or is not in your city"

I think this will bring pp in line with wacking as far as stealth users are concerned and prevent your location from being determined even while you are pro'd.

 

Pro: prevent stealth users from being located even while pp prod (same as with wack)

Cons: I can't think of any, but then again I am biased...it is my suggestion after all...

 

I believe this is a fairly simple and equitable suggestion, thoughts?

Report Post Tip

I think this is a good idea. The wack setup was an issue, and this stands to be the same.

Report Post Tip

If it helped wack, it'll help pp. I say yes.
