An update on the intrepid band of newbies: Deadmines owned!




Right after beating Mr Smite's (God, I love that name) head in. We've decided the druid has to come with us everywhere now. We had to walk her from Menethil to SW at first, and not one thing attacked us. No random DC's or mass death inside DM either. She's our new good luck charm!


We go back to SW to celebrate, etc etc, oh look everyone wants us for quests, running to Northshire Abbey..



People can pickpocket you? I feel so exposed. D:

Heh, are you on an RP server? I've had people "pickpocket" me before too. It's just an emote macro; you don't actually lose any money.

Yeah, I remember rogues using that emote all the time on Everquest.

Nope, Delta was just messing with you, as rogues are wont to do. ^_^

*peers* What UI are you using? It's interesting-looking.

Wellyes, I did know that the majority of her UI was the default Blizzard UI, but I didn't know that the Titan Panel was called such. Thanks!

*giggles at you*

Sweet. I'm using a really...immersive UI right now that has far too many features and is so different from the default UI that it's disorienting so I'm in the UI market.

I shall note tital panel! Yes! thank you!

FuBar is far superior and more customizible than Titan Panel. I used Titan for 18 months or so and my friend strongarmed me into switching to FuBar. I haven't looked back.

If you get it, make sure you get GarbageFu. Tells you how much money you have in gray trash in your bags, gives you an easy shift-click to drop the item worth the least, gives you a "sell all gray items" icon to sell to vendor.. it's awesome.

Oh so THAT is what GarbageFu does! I LIKE that! FuBar is part of the MazzleUI that I'm using now and thus far it's been my favorite addon.


Does FuBar have coords wrapped up in it somewhere, too?

Grab LocationFu for coordinates

I was a little intimidated by having to go out and get each piece that I wanted for FuBar, since Titan has it all built in, but wayyyy better once I found everything I wanted.

GarbageFu FTW!!

I was so very lost when FuBar wasn't updated for a week or so after one of those post-BC patches. now I am complete again.

Haha, no, rogues can only pickpocket mobs.

They CAN /e pickpockets %t for 40s, 60c, and a shiny pocketwatch! though, if they're feeling mischievous.

...I should really remake that macro.

Haha. I had a bankcharacter for the guild in charge that one of our rogues liked to "pickpocket" ... I moved it from Orgrimmar to a small town to outrun him. It took some time before I noticed that other pickpocket attempts didn't lose me money. LOL

And if you wanted to get even fancier you could put a couple random number generators in there so the macro would "take" a different amount of money each time.

I fail at macros. What would the macro to do the numbers randomly look like?

...I have no reason for wanting to know. *whistles*

It'd be a script call, but I don't know offhand what the LUA to get random numbers is.

I haven't tried to macro anything extensive since 2.0, but you used to be able to use:

function Randomnumber()
local n = random(lowestnumberyouwant,highestnumberyouwant);
return n;
end;

*nods* I picked up on that too. Comes from emoting a lot on an RP realm, I guess.

One of the things my fiance likes to do is go into crowded areas like Org AH and "/em pickpockets you for 50s." and see the flood of anger from people who believe it happened. Gives us both a good laugh, especially when he does it on his Warrior. :P

It'd also be green and yellow text, like other transactions. (or whatever you set it to)

That's correct. You weren't actually pickpocketed. The person just typed /e successfully steals 40s and 60c from Epo's pockets. It's just a custom emote. Your gold is safe. ^_^

As other people have said: no, nobody can pickpocket you.

What I enjoyed doing while I still was on the raiding scene was
/me receives [loot].

Everyone fell for it at least once. Hell, I even got kicked from the guild because of it the first time I did it. (most likely an "OMG NINJA KICK!" reaction more than anything)

(rogue main here, level 67)

You cannot pick pocket anyone but Unfriendly NPCs. Hell you can't even pick pocket the NPCs in Stormwind. They are not valid targets.

Rogues who want to cause chaos and confusion /emote all the time. Had one do that to me only he said he stole like 30 gold. I whispered him "and it was almost convincing too...too bad I have never had that much gold in my entire life all in one place..." and he was all like "damn".

It's just someone yanking your chain. Don't sweat it.

I did it once (I have a NE Rogue) and the "victim," a new guild member demanded that I be /gkick for it. The GM told him that no money was stolen and that its a wee joke. I'm trying to make it a new tradition. :)
