"Hey, cool, some arrows!"

 

*picks up*

 

"omg those were mine give em back"

 

"They were? Pick them up earlier then"

 

 

 

Some people consider arrow thieves cheap people who steal arrows. Others believe the archer should pick them up earlier. Which side are you on, and why?

 

 

 

*Please tell me if there is another thread about this, or if it should be in a different forum*

if they are bronze iron or steel arrows then there is no point in "stealing" them but mith addy rune are worth stealing and i will continue to do so .... if you dont want people to pick up your arrows then pick them up sooner or use broad arrows :)

Once they're visible to everyone, they're fair game. I'd take them just to piss the ranger off.

Try the debate club, as this technically is a debate.

Well if your arrows are appearing for others, you are fighting something too tough.

Heh. Interesting thoughts. But I am F2P

 

And besides, no one uses mith + addy arrows for training O_o

Arrow stealers are lame. End of thread. :-w

I always used mith arrows for training, but now I use cbow with mith+ bolts.

It's the archer's fault of course. If he was dumb enough to leave the arrows on the floor and leave it visible to scavengers, he deserves to get robbed.

 

 

 

And besides, what're a few arrows anyway?

I train with any arrow above bronze -.- . As for arrow stealing, I find it pathetic, If you can't afford the arrows to train range, then in my opinion, you don't deserve to. It is one of the cheapest stats to train.

an archer is going to be hiding behind something if they're in a spot where they can't reach their arrows, and you wouldn't want to leave an area of safety and appear in front of some angry dragon just to pick up some arrows, would you?

The problem isnt arrow theives its people training way beyond their lvl. Take all the blue dhide wearing rangers at blue dragons. Takes them ages to kill 1 lousy dragon and if they get their arrows taken they deserve it.

Get P2P and use ava's accumulator. Problem solved.

Actually, I belive not being able to pick up your arrows in one minute is lame.

There is no such thing as an "arrow thief". It isn't like they're taking the arrows out of your quiver for themselves, now is it?

 

 

 

Let me draw a parallel so you can see where I'm coming from.

 

 

 

Let's imagine, for the sake of argument, that a ballistic weapon known as the "Party-Hat Launcher" comes into the game. Of course, its ammo is a partyhat. It hits high enough to justify using it. Now, after a minute or so goes by of you attacking that Black dragon and the partyhats start appearing on the floor. No one asks questions or says "they're his partyhats", they just run right over and pick 'em up. Same logic applies to arrows; once they are fired they are no longer your property.

 

 

 

If you don't like it, fight something you can kill in less than a minute.

In castlewars, if they aren't bronze, they're mine. Everywhere else, I give the archer plenty of time to pick them up. The only time it bugs me is when some guy stands under the monster I'm killing and dashes straight toward any arrows he sees, even when he knows that they're mine. Apparently, any 90+ ranger is an 'ub3r r1c|-| s0B wh0 sh0ld g1m3 arr00s'.

Arrow stealers get annoying, but if you can kill a monster fast enough so that your arrows don't appear to other people, than you shouldn't be killing that monster. However, I don't steal anyones arrows unless they're something like bronze, and I see a pure using them because it's obvious that the pure would have tons of bronze arrows.

A good archer knows when to pick up the arrows.......

 

 

 

So if you don't they are fair game for others.

 

 

 

I would0 take mith+addy+rune arrows.

I am fine with people taking arrows from the ground. They are on the ground and visible to everybody, so they are fair game. I don't take them, at least not on purpose nor do I hate anybody who takes mine. It is all part of the game, and as such is perfectly fine.

Omfg. Arrow / Bolt looter are (CABBAGE)!!!!!!!! I spent a heck of a time mining red topaz to tip my steel bolts to enchant them n some looters come along n loots abt a third of my bolts -.- Arrow / Bolt looter should (cabbage)ing STOP!

You don't steal those arrows.

 

You pick them up.

 

JAGeX has given enough time for rangers to pick up their arrows.

 

And if someone get's your arrows, it's just your fault that you waited to long.

why not just pick them up then? i don't see how you could get mad when it's your own fault... #-o

Technically it's 100% fair, but it's also pretty rude =/

I think its kind of your fault for not picking them up, but its just sad that people steal them, how would tehy like if we stole there dagon plate or something! Arrows should only be able to be seen by you!

Precisely. Not picking them up is your own fault. Accept it.
