[rant] For the love of all that is cherishable, put in a bleeding toggle that sets an NPC to hostile when you catch it pickpocketing you! I lost a bunch of stuff and died to boot when Teleport Without Error failed (no reason why that I could see, since I had it memorized 3 times), and then the area reset on my way back to it.[/rant]

No, seriously. I was visiting a merchant shop, and the moment I enter the door, a hostile NPC yells at me and pickpockets me. I promptly smite him and take my item back (and his in repayment, of course). I then go into the store, and the MERCHANT this time runs over and immediately pickpockets me...repeatedly. I smite him too, and loot....and he instantly respawns right where he'd been originally standing. This occurred repeatedly, even while another door opened and a bandit army came swarming in to attack and pilfer from me. I -don't care- if NPCs pickpocket. I don't care if they take things. BUT FOR THE LOVE-...sorry. However, if you CATCH them taking something...*deep breath* ...they should automatically be set to enemy, and NOT instantly respawn to keep stealing from you!

Oh, and note, the Merchant never turned hostile on getting caught pickpocketing. I attacked him a round or two after the attempt and he was still 'blue' at the time.

EDIT: [rant] And no, I'm not going to care about breaking factions if this is the kind of OOC crap stuff that gets in the way of proper IC behavior. [/rant]

Friends,
Where did it occur? I'll track down the issue, obviously it is not running as intended.

Be well. Game on!

The Maze under the Justice Inn. Can't really describe how to get there, so I will show you next time we're both on.

'cording to ODA, merchants are supposed to instantly respawn, and the area was a thief guild. That still doesn't solve the problem of not hostiling when caught stealing.

We will review scripts and locations. Note, Merchants hand a lot of money each day, the next step in our new merchant rollout will include DEFENSES FOR MERCHANT SHOPS this means, attacking a merchant will be generally a bad idea.

Sorry 'bout the confusion, but the merchants in the guild shop, they are supposed to be sneaky and if you are not a member, they will pick your pockets.

Be well. Game on.

That's fine, I didn't know it was a guild shop. So long as it's not a bug, it's all good. I had thought it was perhaps some part of an undercity or some sort of thing, maybe.
