you know its funny, the poll shows about 1/4 being trader, about 1/4 hunter, and 1/2 theif

theoretically the poll should turn out like that, and the game should mimic it, in the sense that way theives are on even ground number wise even if they have 2 jobs vs them,

though most of the thieves i find are solo, sad sad little theives can't find a freind to help them jack stuff, or maybe its becuase the traders are usually solo that theives don't think they need a party, and happen to run into me on their little outing

But then they just walk in front of you and spawn their high lvl NPC theives by you and run away...

not no more my friend. Thieves spawn hunters now lol. We are safe

unless you are a lv 40 trying to do a 1 star trade

well thats not true. Thieves have the most enemys and its a waiting game for them. (unless you are high lv and can find 2+ star trades easy)

i actully quit the thief life due to slow buisness lol. i got 25% off of loot i found on the ground

But A hunters life is very fun. i really dont care about all that nobal crap about how they are the protectors and whatnot. I just want to kill other players to test myself. Sure capes are fun and easy to find ppl to fight with, but there is not reward. I want to kill other players and get some gold in my pockets for it. Thats why i am now a Hunter lol. Just think of the Adredilin Rush you get when you know that you only have 1 shot. This is the best way to see if you got what it takes to stay alive. Sure you will find higher lvs often. But i love it when i see somebody close to my lv and then its a REAL FIGHT. Winner gets Pride. (Hunter gets gold if he/she wins )
Hunters are the most fun to play as. you can make gold easy and its fun to watch thieves dround in their own pool of blood
Hunters FTW!!!

...i just like to fight, thats all

quite ungracefully put, but at least your killing theives

me when I'm hunting i'm trying to avoid the fights, as a wizzard i surive of obsceurity and guile, i have to make sure i get the first shot in, so i stay off the beaten path (which is just common sense anyways) and when a theif does show up I'm ungaurd and make sure to take him out before he gets in range of me, and since i out range even chinese nukes, the only 2 things that out range me are crossbow and bow, i get a few good shots in, yes huntering is quite fun, but still, i'd rather make money and avoid fights then get caught in a bunch of fights and not get paid, i know i can kill, I know i can out smart the average theif, though the option isn't always there to do (distractions and such) if i'm on a trade run i'll tend to be invisible about half the time, so if you time it right you might see me,

the only thing that really scares me is a rogue, but most of which run around on horse or unstealthed, so i have enough warning to make sure they can't see me by the time they try to attack, or time enough to just nuke away


but theives don't really have the world stacked against them since about half the people are theives, i mean now with the new job system it makes it about fair, you're in a guild, you follow the guilds jobs theif guild or a hunter/merchant guild, when i go hunting i see usually more theives then i do other traders and merchants, but i know this isn't always the case,

i am always up for a good fight. Whats the point in being a Hunter if you dont..well...HUNT. I would gladly kill any thief i come across or attemt to kill one. My job is to kill any and all thieves that i may find. By always fightning i do my job and get paid really good for it i sometimes play the roll as a weak trader so thives follow me, then switch gear and kill them for trying to steal from me lol

lol? lvl 29 i could 1 shot that

umm but how could you be the weak trader? perhaps you mean you look like a weaker hunter with a trade? or what?

I'm always up for a good fight yes, but i'd rather make it and get paid then get caught in a fight and not, even if the fight was really fun, I just perfer to deal with as little trouble as I can because its faster to avoid it, and a higher chance of getting paid, i mean killing the human theif doesn't equal nearly as much hunter xp as making it to town and the trader selling goods

W00t! I didn't know that, lol. I've been away from SRO for a couple months, guess that updated while I was gone.

lol, have you not seen europe yet? you might think about trying it out, its pretty sweet, it personally like it better then the chinese

Dont matter, as long as i learn something. Sure ppl can 1 shot me, but i still love to fight others. i'm a fighter. True, that a person gets xp more by completeing a trade, but i want to see if i can lv up on just thieves alone

but yeah, after lv 39, players will not be protected from thieves at all, even if the trader has a 1 star trade

My current character is actually euro. I already have him to lvl 17.5. It's pretty awesome 1-hit killing mobs my lvl with my pure str rogue.
