There seems to be a lot of people thieving the level 90 store, constantly. I'm just worried its not peoples multiple accounts and then swapping them out to other accounts.

Can we add a trade limit that you need say 600-750 total before you can trade?

 

Came to conclusion that 60--750 is too much. Ofcourse other total levels lower is fine, say 300-400?

i agree with what your getting at, in other words you want to counter any botting that may be going on. But i think a 600-750 total level before you can trade is too much personally. 

 

if this idea was to go ahead, it would also have to be implented on the trading post, otherwise people would but say a feather for 10m and transfer the gold that way.

Honestly that's a massive requirement and would really gimp new players. I'd be in favour of just not allowing multi logging but that also presents problems. It's pretty hard to stop people autoclicking / botting thieving really as differentiating an auto clicker from an afker from a multi logger from someone not paying much attention is very difficult.

If this is added then I can't trade, rip but I see where you're coming from - we need to do something to stop all these level 3s. My suggestion would be to have you teleported to a random location within the world of Alora every 30 minutes or so - not the wilderness of course (that'd stop auto clickers that are leaving, at least to an extent).

couldent we have a random pop up where they have to select the right item for them to be able to continue playing? but just for when people are doing thieving?

This idea seems best, a pop up will be way easier

I think a random still isn't going to stop it. Maybe the requirement could be between 350-500?

That'd work I think, that's not too high in my opinion.

i still think its too high, could instantly put players off, i think there is a solution to it but, i think that solution is not having a total level req to be able to trade.

Could have an easy random event(eg select the item that doesn't fit in) which has the chance at a cosmetic reward or something as well. Thanks for the suggestion :)

This ^

 

Make it a simple question such as; 2+2 = ? or what is the name of this server? 

-If the player doesn't reply within a minute, they get teleported to a jail, if they're afking at there computer and realize a few moments after they've been jailed, then they can explain what happened, but if they don't reply at all and clicking everywhere possible - it's obvious.

I think this is heading in the right direction. At least if we add some complication to the auto-clicking there's more possibility of the clicker messing up and causing them more problems then gains.

Otherwise we could also make it so thieving requires a small skill requirement - but I'm less in favor of this option as it would make it more confusing for new-to-Alora players.

So skillers won't be able to trade lol.

 

Best and easiest answer to this problem: 

Create a pop-up message where you have to type an answer to a simple question, or a random event.

i personally like the idea of adding a simple pop up like most servers have nowadays...

however think the level cap is to high for one and second of all the jail thing is bad to as you may be clicking normally and then quickly go off but fail to see the pop up and when you return all you see is you in jail... would annoy people especially if no staff are online at the time. 

 

So support for popup :)!
