Stealing Fix...

So I get Stealing is a part of the game, no problem. It just seems that there is a problem when a thief "auto-follows" you all around town (never more than 3 squares away), and has a second account doing the same so that when the thief steals an item from you it can be quickly moved to his other account (still blue) so you have no recourse of action.

I am fine with the above scenario, except for the automation, but if the thief is caught and "guard whacked" the item should default back to the location it was taken from. Instead it currently falls to the thiefs corpse and you have to beat the already prepared (possibly macroed), other character from the thief's account to get you item back. The thief got caught stealing and he is still rewarded. This is wrong and shouldn't happen this way.

I like the idea of the stolen item being returned to the owner.

Regardless of whether or not someone is using 2 clients for it. You shouldn't have to fight to get your item back after the guards took care of the problem.

Doesn't mean you can't follow your thief buddy around for when he gets guard whacked and loot the item.

I like the proposed change. Either make the thief's body grey to only the victim, or return the item to the victim's pack if the thief gets caught and guard whacked.

You can't macro looting from a corpse -- they already fixed that last year.

...not legally anyway

As for 2nd client being against TOS for stealing, in one instance the thief admitted that is what they were doing.
