A Call To End Docks Trading

[EmmaTudor]

Can't wait to browse even more empty vendors.

Let's take away your bonded pets. I think tamers having bonded pets is trammy and ruins the game.
Let's take away flash clothes as well, I think the flashiness ruins the game.
Also beetles, those ruin the game and just give a bad vibe.

See where I am going with this? This is all little stuff that doesn't effect your game play at all, neither does the docks, you just want to think it does.

The docks GREATLY effects the dynamic of the game. If you're going to have expensive stuff -- I want you to have to fight to keep it. Yes, I want you to have or valuable scrolls and BOD cloth taken from you if you are not careful. Hell, I want it to be taken from me if I'm not careful. Risk vs Reward is what makes this game fun.

You are right. We should need to fight constantly to keep our expensive stuff. Let’s go back to the old, old days.

Let’s get rid of safe trading areas.
Let’s get rid of blessed clothing.
Let’s get rid of secure containers.
Let’s get rid of housing lockdowns.
Let’s get rid of secure housing.
Let’s make is so you have to have your house key on you, to get into your house, and make sure it can be stolen.
Let just do away with all blessed items, donation items included. I should have to fight to keep everything I have!

Let make is so thieves can have everything they want!

Carl…… UN-bless everything in my possession!!!


J/K Carl don’t do that…. Please!! 

Fight to keep it? You mean like how you score a +20 powerscroll in a all fel, free for fall, thieves roaming EVERYWHERE area? Oh wait a second, that's how it is now. You must be thinking of trammel. That doesn't exist here, sorry.

The same can be said about any item. If a thief was good enough, he COULD park a couple toons at the tailor and steal BOD cloth from the tailors who turn their BODs in at brit. I see tailors do it all the time. Or maybe that +1 animal taming SS that just dropped. It's in the guys pack before he recalls. Where are the thieves? Oh yea.. At the bank stealing regs, bottles and what other junk/sloppy seconds other crappy thieves left behind.

This change isn't going to effect anyone with half a brain, just create a WHOLE LOT of unnecessary hassle. I have the security of my house. I have the security of my bank. I have the security of safely selling my items off a vendor, completely risk free. I've already explained this in another post:

I can see the whole trammie/fel argument point. Still, I personally like the trade zone due to the fact it's inconvenient as hell to make a vendor, put the item on the vendor, make sure your buyer is able to find your vendor etc etc. Do you seriously think your gonna score a valuable +20 powerscroll or something? I highly doubt it, because anyone that possesses such an item is going to put it on a vendor. That 1% that is stupid or complacent enough to trade it anywhere but a vendor are probably the ones right now too lazy to even take their butts to the docks to trade.

Seriously, I get it. This is a fel shard, but my point is it inconveniences the hell out of everyone.. Why would you want that? This server is NOT " back in the day " original UO. This is UOforever, a custom shard. A lot of things that are here could be argued weren't here back on OSI so ' take it away '.

As for thieves, there are plenty of other good places to hunt for rares. If your too lazy to go search for them and want everything to come to you in town, that is your own fault for not being a good thief.

Furthermore, Trammel was horrible due to the fact everyone was safe. Taking away the docks eliminates Step A, B, C, D of a trading process. No one can come here to farm, or pvm in safety. There's really no point to go to the docks unless you want to duel or trade, and frankly your argument to take it away " just because " isn't good enough.

There are always gonna be whiners. Every game I've played. I hope the devs don't change this game either because of you whiners. People don't like change and someone already nailed it, lots of people will definitely not like this change except the thieves who are too damn lazy to use some real skill, stealth, technique and finesse.
