Whats the point of a area specificly designed for crafting...

When I see magic beetles appearing I assume there's a GM hidden crafter sitting there dumping slayers into it. Don't even need to look in the pack, just steal what you put on the beetle.
You didn't steal none for me then because I don't put them in my beetle because thiefs like to target them and drag them off.

I never attacked you or lured off your beetle. I just steal your slayers off it when you're macroing AFK.
Again you're not stealing Slayers from me because I don't get off my beetle when I craft them I keep them on my character in a bag under 5 bod books

I am also curious as to how thiefs can open a bag that's buried under 5 bod books...
You can use ". remove" in sallos to "hide" anything in the game. Then just resynchronize to see it again. So no amount of stacking things on top of things is going to help.

Thats moar bullshit. So basicly there is no way to stop a thief....no amount of steps you can take to protect yourself other than remove yourself from the situation...

Well i guess it's a matter of opinion. Maybe you should try playing a thief? It's not all that easy really. Almost everything worth anything is blessed anyway. I'm sure there are some thieves here who can make some big money doing their thing but i bet 99% of the thieves playing here are not making much.. Definately less than running afk crafting macros 24/7 and they are actually playing the game!

Afk or not I have yet to find a way to stop a thief or safeguard from a thief while at britt craft area. We have to craft here with beetles full of supplies and stuff worth stealing in our bags. Trapped boxes dont work, placing unstealiable items over the bag dont work. Why should we as crafters be punished for our choosen professions that require us to use the crafter guild?

So let me ask this. I have GM hiding and if I want to go craft slayer weapons can I be pick pocketed while hidden or do they have to reveal me first. I don't even afk craft items so I can watch to see if I suddenly pop out of hiding.

Thanks ahead of time for the advice.

Yeah they have to reveal you first but most are fast enough to open your pack target something they want to steal before you re hide then all it takes on the next reveal is a steal last target macro and you're done

My suggestion would be make the soul forge more in demand by being an actual deeded item. Having it give you the bonus or a random bonus. As of now there really is no really huge reason to have one even with building the legendary items. I have no problems crafting in the brit crat area 90% of the time only because of the times I gotta go craft to avoid getting jacked. Yes the risk should be there in the craft area but really it becomes brit bank west at times but a crafting area... PvP get no chop/safe zones yet a defenseless crafter (most of the time) gets the short end of the stick. I believe certain things need to be reviewed.

We now have active guards at the craft guild and the ankh is gone :)

...So AFK macroers get guard patrols now to combat people actually actively playing the game? THANKS GUYS!

I guess I'll just start scripting all my characters and complain on the forums when something goes wrong until they change the game to suit my not being at the keyboard.

I have a 7X GM crafter. I use the Britain crafters guild all the time. I've NEVER had a problem with thieves... why? BECAUSE I DON'T MACRO CRAFTING AFK.
