I'm not sure if this would work, i'm f2p and i only know about this skill from the guides. Anyway, i understand that to pickpocket, you need to right click and select "pickpocket" to avoid attacking. I wonder if it might be faster to pickpocket if you keep your combat lvl below the "victim's" then you would only need to left click to thieve.

Yes indeed that would be much faster. There are a few things to think about before you limit your combat level though.

 

 

 

1.) You can choose one mouse button from the mouse buttons options so you simply click on them and you get the "right-click" screen on them.

 

 

 

2.)Even if your combat level is lower than an enemy PC they may have a Talk-To option that may or may not override the "Pickpocket" option.

 

 

 

3.)Lastly, most experienced thieves who steal from the Knights of Ardougne know the first bit of info' (#1) and use it often and we experienced thieves equip a bow without any ammo in our quiver so that even if we accidentely click on "Attack" nothing will happen except we'll get a message saying "You have no more ammo in your quiver!".

 

 

 

But for being an F2P looking into the P2P world, very astute and good job for thinking outside of the box.

The one click option would make it faster, but i'm still suggesting that it is faster if you can pickpocket without the menu at all. you would save half the clicks, pickpocket faster, and reduce your risk of carpal tunnel syndrome(a tragic side effect of playing runescape too long :( )
