rocket_flare Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 "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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgrout Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holiday Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Once they're visible to everyone, they're fair game. I'd take them just to piss the ranger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underu2000 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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? Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotamatias Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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.

Alg Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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?

yippeekyaa Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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.

reaper88888 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 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'. There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

Mozzy4ever Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 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.

Master_Smither Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 A good archer knows when to pick up the arrows....... So if you don't they are fair game for others.

unkn0wnwarrior Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 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.

junkiejeff Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
