I'm slightly confused here. Before you say it, no, it's not because I'm
a 'weak, pathetic, blahblah whatever' Shallamese. I'm confused simply
because you make no sense.
Quote 'As for being ineffective I would like to extend my personal
thanks to you for donating a clean new Manuscript as well as to your
fellow guild members for thier donations.' 'Somehow we seem to
'ineffectively' get the better of you!' End quote.
Judging by that statement, you have lead to the assumption that stealing
from others, makes you effective. Techincally, this is true. It's
effective in showing that you steal from others because you cannot be
bothered working hard for something. It takes about 10 seconds to steal
a pack from someone. Ten seconds of you hiding, perhaps shadowing,
hypnotising, taking the back and running.
Now, say this pack contained 10k, some vials, to the amount of, say, 6k,
and a few items of random items in a total of around 3-4k, plus, perhaps
a journal, which runs around 5k. So, you gain a total of -about- 24-25k
worth of items. Most are probably resellable, or usable by your Novices.
So, you have been effective in gaining something. Now, to prove the
laziness theory.
You've 'effectively' stolen almost 25k from a person (average persons
inventory, not rich person.) Now, imagine how long it took that person
to make that money. Assuming they can't buy and sell credits, you're
looking at, maybe a couple of hours works. 10 seconds, to steal what
took a couple of hours, not only makes you seem lazy, but it's also not
very effective, in the sense that it accomplishes anything.
As Relos has said, gold is quite easy to come by these days, so, apart
from being annoying and showing a completely lack of actual desire to
-do- anything, that involves more than 10 seconds of work, you're not
overly 'effective'.
