Adding Pickpocketing back
« on: 26 04, 2022, 01:59:03 am »
Introduction:
All oldschool gamers know this important part of the criminal side, which was turned into preference and then killed off along with the preferences. Since the preference system no longer exists, why not add this feature again? It fits the roleplay and it's funny.

Suggestion:
To Bring back the pickpocketing feature.

Trivia:
1-A similar feature is present in GTA Online, where you can call lamar to send a thief to rob players with too much money in their hands.

2-To protect yourself against pickpocketing, deposit your money in the bank and keep less than 250k on hand, wear a bag, stay away from criminals or inside a car.

3-For me, this script is precious, some developer had this brilliant idea, took his time and made it. I don't want this thing, that made me laugh so many times when I was a new player, with my friends, to go to waste. Please help me bring it back :D
With Love to CIT(Community of Integrity and Transparency) <3.

I can assume that some of the players do really miss pickpocketing, some ppl (the majority actually) was using it to troll around, but ain't gonna lie it was fun up voting this.  :tick:

I never saw the reason to complain about this feature when the highest amount players lost was $10k in 1 hour. Most of criminal activities reward on the average more than 400k per hour. Same goes for the teams like civilian.

At least this made players actively play the game.

I don't agree with this because it will lead to quarrels and I don't like it.   :cros:

Honestly CIT was pretty fun when this feature existed, I have nothing to say when it comes in bringing it back again, you either get money or drugs. totally  :tick:

It was a very fun way of earning money. If cops have a job called "Traffic Officer" who can simply pickpocket players' money then there's no problem having pickpocketing back.  :tick:

To mitigate players farming money on a group of stationary players, there could be a cooldown based on crossing X amount of pickpocketed players in a certain area..

Or maybe add a limitation like you can't pickpocket more than 3 times in 15 mins.

Back to 2013-2014, this is the thing I like the most, and it's really fun to pick pocket others.
And btw, I miss the bribe system also.  :tick: :tick:

Indeed, its something fun that was made exclusive to CIT and due to changes in the preference settings, it got removed almost as by accident.
It led me to many funny conversations and situations when I was a new player, and that is something that made me a permanent player in CIT; I hope we can bring it back.

This was one of the funniest things to do in the criminal side and bringing it back won't harm, as stated above by Brian the max a player can lose from pickpocket is 10k per hour so why not bring this feature back ?

The most basic criminal activity and of course the fun is in pickpocketing. Why don't repeat the history and fun by adding this back.
Positive.

I've used this feature many times on my friends, and it was really fun, I don't know why it was removed, it wouldn't hurt anyone to add it and the people supports this suggestion.  :tick:
