assassin_696 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I find it more worrying that you find pickpocketing a few guards more immoral than slashing someone to the bits in the wilderness and stealing their stuff afterwards. It's a game, the detachment from reality is part of the reason why we play. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdean Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 If your mentality is so low that you think that doing something through a poorly-pixellated character allows you to do the same thing in the real world, you really shouldn't be entrusted with a computer, as those electrical sockets look mighty tasty.... Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

xXAbyssalXx Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I don't see thieving as immoral...From the age of 13+ you should be able to tell right from wrong.I mean, you could say the same scenario for firemaking, we can randomly make a fire anywere we please, but do many people do that it our society? No :) You should know it's wrong from the day you could understand the people around you :? But i do agree that runescape doesn't influence people at all. I use to play a hell of alot and you don't see me stealing stuff. Although i do pick-pocket friends as a joke... :shock: |Noobs :roll:|Ebaums steals! :evil:|Go Stephie! :mrgreen:|http:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n64jive Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 :-k nah i think kids should learn themselves not to be influenced by games ;) my 10 year old nephew plays grand theft auto and ive never seen him runover a prostitute in a stolen police car so i doubt little kids playing rs will go pickpocketing+1 EDIT: When the rest of my gym class was playing dodgeball, I stole all their walletes from the locker room and hid them in a trash can. (pulled out the trash bag, put the wallets in, then put the bag back in.) It pays for my RS membership to this day. :) its kids like you who make me wanna just go on a rampage. Serously, i hope your money is stolen from you some day, and you know how it feels...you loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_sunny Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The majority of the people who play runescape are 13-15. I think they are just too smart to be effected by this 'theiving' skill. Although we do have some younger ones, I still don't think it will make a difference. Leave the name please. :| By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

Most people, including me, would agree with that. But in RuneScape.... "Wow, 90 theiving! That's awesome dude!" I don't think stealing things should be considered as "That's awesome!"

Soma2035 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 It's a typical class for medieval time period RPGs. If any of you ever played D&D a thief is a very important party member as he helps disarm traps and pick open locked doors. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting!

stanford Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Uh..ok...Mr. Jack Thompson... :roll: Who really cares about the thieving skill anyway? It's only useful in certain quests. Other than that it's pretty worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Username012 Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Right, and it should be reconfigured to do only that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyhair Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 It's not just that, it's the fact that thieving is WRONG. Why should it be in RuneScape? You're opinion. People arn't influenced by games and you seem like the kind of fussy person that has to complain about everything. Stop playing or become a police officer.. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDecline Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ever since I started RuneScape, I've always thought the thieving skill was immoral. Thieving is stealing. Stealing is wrong. Yes, stealing, pickpocket, etc, might have been a big part of the middle ages, but do we really need a skill out of it? What does it teach younger players? Now, I'm not saying we should remove the skill, it's been in there since RSC and would have too much of an impact. Perhaps we could at least rename it? "Stealth" for breaking ancient locks... for non-malicious tasks (Legends Quest, Desert Treasure). And maybe make it so when you get the random event watchman while theiving (which would then NOT give xp), you are blacked out with his mace, sent to jail, and must use stealth to pick the lock, and either sneak past or kill the watchman to get out. The above paragraph's probably a bad idea... but the main thing is... does anyone else think the same about Thieving in RuneScpae being immoral? I didn't read anyone elses posts yet so I don't know if anyone has said this to you, but .... your [developmentally delayed]ed. Oh and I guess Runescape shouldn't have killing, because killing is wrong isn't it? If we don't have thieving because its wrong, we shouldn't have killing, magic (refering to the thing in the news about boycotting harry potter because it had magic in it), Okay we shouldn't have slayer because that's kinda like a hitman job, we shouldn't have pking because thats murdering people. Think about your post, then realize how dumb it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDecline Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 well killing people is wrong isnt it? but they're lvl 2 and just so fun to stab in the stomach or slice and dice right down the center isnt it also i dont think kids are gunna go into like wal mart and be like "my theiving lvl is 99 i can steel this trampoleen (sp?) It's the middle ages. People got killed left and right. Also, you should be jailed randomly for killing non-monster/quest characters. More people get murdered in todays' age than in the middle ages. The majority of people in the middle ages died because of lack of food, water, and diseases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster211 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 If RS was sensitive to their morality, the game would turn into the sims, and no one likes the sims :evil: [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moopymitchell182 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sure, it's kind of immoral... but RuneScape makes it look easy. You have to be profession to do this flawlessly. Some kid is gonna try to pickpocket someone and grab them in the butt. BAM! Sexual harassment lawsuit. :lol: Now after that, do you think that kid would ever try to steal again?

FuBai Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 It's not just that, it's the fact that thieving is WRONG. Why should it be in RuneScape? Don't say that, don't say that ...THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS ABSOLUTES! It's your opinion. Things do not become wrong or right simply because you, or even the entire population on the planet were to assign those values to them. Even if everyone said the world was flat it would still be round. Even if everyone said thieving is wrong it could still be justified. IT'S ONLY YOUR OPINON. The only way there could be an absolute, let alone a moral absolute, is if there were to be a God. And maybe your believe in one, but that is belief, which is a stronger form of opinion - until empiriacle evidence is produced to the contrary, all theistic views are a matter of belief - even atheism is the belief there is no God, and as God cannot be proven, empircaly, to not exist, they, in turn believe. NB: this has nothing to do with religion, but the bliefe in absolutes, which depends entirley on your belife in a God. Unless you do believe in such a thing, do not, ever, discuss something in absolute terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdguy0101 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 If pickpocketing is bad, you must really hate blackjacks. I mean luring someone with a lie, knocking them out, and then taking all of their money many times is realy bad. (Quit: tallest please come to the death altar, give me 1,337,000,000 gp, a golden tinderbox, and a spade, also steal one of zidanes phats and give it to me.

Craven_Image Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The purpose of a virtual game isn't to imitate what you'd do in real life but to play a fictious life. Thieving in RuneScape will not lead to a life of crime. 99 Magic, 99 Defence, 99 Strength, 99 Attack, 99 Hitpoints, 99 Fletching, 99 Woodcutting, 99 Firemaking, 99 Thieving, 99 Ranged, 99 Prayer, 99 Cooking, 99 Fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdavies90 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 yeah and maybe we should take combat out of the game incase i child finds a sword and starts attacking someone... you sound like an old man! complaining that something in a videogame made a person do something urrrrm i doubt it... maybe we should firemaking out as well incase people start burning down houses or setting fire to woods...
