For all those traders out there that hate to be popped. I got a little guide for ya.. I posted this somewhere and i came across it so i thought I'd post it in a lil topic. And I like a challenge so learn this and give me some..^^
Ok first off 1star popping is the direct result of a lack of multistar traders. You see the lvl 45+ doing 1star i just think PUSSY!! and they are the reason us thiefs are forced to go after 1stars cause we would just shoot roots if we wouldn't.
besides a lvl 30+ that get's popped is just a lil' noob imo.
I never got popped after lvl 30 unless it was a lvl 64+ that i didn't see comming. And I usually take those 30+ cause they have the most loot. And if we are with a lot of ppl popping then we take mostly 45+.
So here is how you don't get popped.
If you see a thief with transport.. your only have a few goals
[list=1]
[*]get on your horse.. no matter what you were doing.. get your ass on that horse.
[*]make sure that his transport don't get in front of yours It's just get on your horse and don't stop untill they give up. Ride straight no cirkels or get back...just ride away.. as fast as your slow ass horse can take ya...
[*]and this really seems abvious but i'll put it in here..keep your horse a live.. how?? get lot's of transport heal. x-large if you can afford it.
So DON"T GET OFF YOUR HORSE!!!
If you still get popped then.. well i'd be amased.
Now how hard is that..
but nooo they don't do that.. they wait.. like 2min.. look at me.. like wooow a thief.. and cool gear.. and huh what is that.. a npc thief...no plz .. don't do it!!...Yeah well be that noob but then you have it comming.
and if you got a camel.. well then just get off run and leave it.. cause you ain't got a chance..
it's the noobs that want to get max profit and min. risk that take a one star on a camel.. and they are the easy preys
I've seen 1 guy make it.. but he was real good.. cause his camel finally dropped after a long time.. and usually I let the traders live... so i was taking out my thiefs and he came back spawned his camel again and grabbed his loot back up.. and was back on his way... and well I let him leave...even killed the cold thief from me that spawned on him.. cause somebody like that deserves some respect.
There must be some thiefs out there. that don't like me for telling this.. and not letting ppl figure this out on their own.. but hey what can i say.. i like a challange.. I like it when I finally found a trader that knows what to do and gets away... i always tell them.. "respect to ya.. nice!!"
Unfortunatly i usually got to listen to a endless beg, that finally leads to a very limited swear-vocabulary and about what they all did to my mom.
But it's okay...
It won't kill me.. and I sure as hell don't care.. so if it makes you feel better go ahead.
