I will try to keep this as short as possible. I would like to propose an auto-mugging change to the game.

How would this work? Well there would be the option to be PP unfriendly. With this option you won't be able to pickpocket but the game would auto mug for you if you are pickpocketed by someone you can see.

I propose this because it allows for those that are not PP unfriendly to not be sitting on the MR tab when they are logged in. We are all busy people. It aids those that are unfriendly but doesn't affect the PP friendly people.

You can still be pickpocketed but you will not have the ability to pickpocket. This way no one can be interfered with PPing for the use of defense check or achievements.

So from my perspective it doesn't hinder or hurt anyone involved. Although some may call it lazy but there is such a short window of opportunity. I get that if you miss it you are out of luck (at least I get the point of view). I don't agree that pickpocket unfriendlies get the worse of the deal. I feel this will help balance it a bit more without hurting anyone.

I am all ears for suggestions or ways to improve this idea of course. 

Yea this idea in my eyes is not a good one. You can only be Pick Pocketed if your online. You have a 15 minute window to mug them if you see them. An auto mug feature takes out the actual fun of a mug.

Agree , it would take the fun out of mugging and being mugged

To be honest I don't really grasp how it takes away from mugging. So could you explain how?

As for the window if I'm playing L4D2 and online it provides a lot of time for someone to mug me and get away with it. Or if I am writing a thread and not looking directly at the tab but word pad or something else. It would be nice to be able to have them mugged.

I can appriciate what your saying, but here's my thoughts.

if your playing L4D2, then it's not the games fault, nor ours, that you choose to divide your time thusly.

if your writing a thread in word pad, I see your point, but might i suggest placing the word pad somewhat less then full screen so that you can see the toasts as they pop up, and thus you can mug at need.

I'm not a fan of this idea.

I don't really like this idea at all. I can't really be bothered to be sitting with $80 million on hand and mug someone and get automugged before I could even bank. I think if you want to mug people you should pay close attention to your surroundings or they should be able to get away. 

It's down to the player to mug, not the game. Disagree with this completely.

JohnnyNoname if you are pickpocketing with people with that much money and they are quick (like I was yesterday with someone) it wouldn't matter if you had time to bank or not. The mugging would still happen and you would still be out of money if they managed to see you. So I do not see your point.

That's fine that you think its down to the player to mug but its not always as easy for the unfriendly to retaliate as you people want to believe.

I feel indifferent about this on one hand auto mug would benefit me as quite often I have been pickpocketed and my personal hasn't flashed probably something to do with when I am on my phone so I miss out on a mugging opportunity, on the other hand if a pickpocket has banked their money I like to wait the full time to see if I can catch them when they are about to embark on a drug run.

So I think I probably wouldn't utilise it because I am greedy and want to take them for as much as possible.

I would like to point out that in this suggestion that auto mug isn't something that would happen directly. You would need to select the option to do so in your options.

What i mean is it up to the player to mug. Auto mug defeats the purpose of being active. Makes you lazy. Which almost anything automated does now adays.

Auto mug isn't a good idea because well exactly what i said before. 15 minute range from the time the pick pocket happens til you unable to mug back. If you playing another game while you get pick pocketed how is it fair to the person that picked your pockets that you can mug him/her back without even playing?

You know my playing another game is just an example of something someone may be doing.

I think a lot of things have made us lazy in game. The amount of Durdens that shows up for example but I dont think you would see that as a bad thing so why should this be? Its just an option to protect those that are strongly PP unfriendly.  Its an option that has to be enabled so it wouldn't affect anyone choosing or not choosing to mug. It would be handy.

I get that people don't want to get mugged right away but lets face it. People get mugged right away anyways if the other person is paying attention. So I really feel that "being lazy" for a reason just doesn't work.

How is it fair that a person who is PP unfriendly always gets pickpocketed? It's not. So I think this benefits them (again, if they choose to enable the option).

It is still down to a person's option in regards to the matter.

It's not an option anyone wants in the game. Well the people that have posted here surely do not like it. I cant speak for the rest of the game.

Exactly my point you have to pay attention when someone picks your pockets to be able to mug. Even if it is an option it takes away from mugging whether the person is PP unfriendly or not. Mugging is a feature in the game that does not need to be auto if you want that then maybe we should make Pick someone pockets auto as well or maybe an auto wack.

Im done putting any kind of debate in. My final word is i will not support this as it is not for the better of the game but rather for a certain group of people who cry every time they get five grand of game money taken from they're pockets. Myself i am not PP friendly but i also do not cry when i get pick pocketed.

I do wonder if you are attempting to insult me. If so please take that up privately rather than bringing it into Suggestions. Thank you.

I'm starting to think you merely don't like the idea based on who proposed it. Would your opinion change if the suggestion giver changed?

You are entitled to your opinion but you are correct. You are not everyone. So until people post an opinion then you can't say "Everyone". I dont expect everyone to like the idea. Hell I hated many of the other changes that have happened. Not going to please everyone. However, I am entitled to give a suggestion and see what people say. That is the point of this thread.

Hai.

Sooooo, auto mugging? Please no. 

Mugging is one of the actual assaults you can inflict on someone, along with shooting them and Pick-pocketing them. That is pretty much the entire reason for me to believe that this should be kept completely in the hands of a player. If we are alright with auto mugging...how about auto shooting back? That should make sense too,right? Nah.

auto mugging i think would be a good and bad idea

it'd need a tweak like when your pp'd your personal lights up like it does and in that personal it would have a "timer" option next to it to mug that person back that you would have to click manually (of course thats if they didnt stealth it) i know it shows the time but honestly a lot of people now a days dont know you only have 15 minutes to mug them back

the bad part about auto mugging would be it would basically allow for less player interaction
