Techniqually their fare game, but it seems that most people take other's arrows not for their use for training range but rather to get a reaction out of the player via verbal fighting etc.

If it takes you over a minute to kill a single monster, you aren't supposed to be training there in the first place.

So no one should kill black,red,steel,iron, bronze, dragons, black demons, kalphite guardians, ect?.

 

People just need to stop being MOD EDIT: Vulgar language removed.Q.V. Tip It Mod and show some courtesy.

I do it from time to time if the guys a jerk and usually I kill before my arrows show.

 

 

 

But usaully people respect your arrows and don't pick up.

 

 

 

It's wrong but it's aviable to all after the 2 min.

i always pick up arrows and sometimes when i give them back they pay me. once at varrock sewers i got paid 2k for picking up 1k arrows (bronze and iron).

I mostly always go for addy+ arrows. Runite I always grab.

 

 

 

But seriously, if you hate "arrow stealers" so bad go do Animal Magnetism.

Meh, I don't really run into many of those.

 

 

 

But when I do...oh man I hate it. Whats the point? People usually train with Iron arrows and you usually only get like 5-10 of them...woooow.

Well even though it is frusterating they can do what they want once the arrows appear on the ground it is "fair game"

I don't pick up arrows, but if the ranger can't pick them up fast enough it's the ranger's fault. Anything on the ground is for anyone to take.

u can easily kill those monsters with range if u train alot,

 

 

 

anyways, if the arrows appear they are ineed fair game.

 

 

 

if it bugs you so much get a crystal bow, or acumulator/attractor

Okay I have two sides to this debate, 1 where I'm being the archer and 1 where I'm being the "Arrow Thief" as you call it..

 

 

 

Archer Side: I got the arrows myself and it's annoying and noobish to take them away just if they appear. They are owned by me and shouldn't be taken by anybody else.

 

 

 

"Arrow Thief" Side: If I see anything of value on the ground, I pick it up if I myself didn't drop it. Simple as that. Low level archers shouldn't be fighting Black Demons or anything like that because they know that they can't kill a Black Demon in less than a minute.

 

 

 

Fast993's Side: Although stealing arrows isn't right, if you see something on the ground belonging to anybody, it's yours to take and keep. The Archers are basically saying that if they get Pk'D in the wilderness, the items they dropped are still theirs while the "Arrow Thieves" are basically saying that if you get a kill in wild and see items in front of you..take them.

 

 

 

I would lean more to the "Arrow Thief" side because they aren't doing anything wrong. The Archers think the "Thieves" are doing something wrong because the "Thieves" steal their arrows. Well, FYI Archers, soon as some arrows of yours appear on the floor to other players, well..anybody can pick them up. They aren't yours to keep forever.

 

 

 

Also, Bravo to the person who made this thread, very interesting topic to choose. =D>

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

 

lol holiday.

 

i reckon theres two sides. Its the rangers fault for not picking them up brfore but the rangers shouldn't have to pick them up during combat. they should be able to take there arrows back after combat and be on there way.

 

 

 

Just for the record i am a ranger and everyone that steals my arrows ( :evil: ) always gives them back to me =D> :thumbsup: \

One: If your arrows are appearing on the ground for others to see, you are picking a monster way beyond your standard to defeat, or you are simply being lazy by leaving all your arrows on the floor. The latter behaviour is condemnable, unless you really want to increase the speed of your training and want to forgo the chance of being able to pick up your arrows.

 

 

 

Two: You should not be pouting and shouting at the other person once he/she picks up your arrows. Finders Keepers. Remember that.

 

 

 

Three: It is good courtesy to allow the person a chance to pick his arrows up from the floor, especially if they are steel arrows and up. If they are bronze or iron, be free to pick them up, but be ready to give them back to the other person if he/she asks for his/her arrows back POLITELY.

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

 

 

 

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's your fault for not picking it up earlier. Also, if you're letting the others appear, the monster is obviously too difficult for you to battle.

It's true that if arrows are on the floor they're fair game. Personally, I'll leave all arrows until the monster they're fighting is dead and they have a chance to retrieve their arrows. After that, if they're addy or over, I might take them. If the ranger still complains, I argue the case and return the arrows for the sake of good feeling.

 

 

 

To go pouncing on the arrows the moment they appear, to me, is the act of a petty opportunist. It's not that the guy's just died and left a ranger set and an archer ring; I would join the scramble myself in that case. But arrows are a little petty, huh?

 

 

 

I regularly train with rune arrows, and if you've ranged at all for any length of time, you know that occasionally you get a series of blue splats and you're thinking "Okay. I have the best range gear, range pots, rune arrows. Why do I bother?". Then you right-click that the spot where your arrows have landed and it says:

 

 

 

Take: Rune arrows

 

Take: Rune arrows

 

 

 

and you know that some of them are now visible. So someone comes and nabs them. Okay, a few arrows, so what?

 

 

 

I agree with the point that if your arrows become exposed, then you're fighting something that is either challenging to say the least, or otherwise too difficult an adversary for you. This is what you should expect.

 

But a message to you arrow-takers, be considerate?

arrows are like runes you can get back, you dont care about a wind bolt once its cast but an addy arrow is different?

I steal arrows all the time. It is a great way to get a training spot to yourself and a conversation starter 8-)

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?

 

 

 

Cannon + C balls + Ranger Boots + Dark Bow + Dragon arrows are cheap?
