I just started trading yesterday....

but 3 of 5 trade I both died in some particular situation..
(i don't know that...i'm stubid or...?)


I was doing 1 star trade so i didn't worry about there's some high lv.
thief would attack me...
I just walked slowly, and when NPC thief spawn, i just hunt them.


but there's some high lv. trader, when we meet on the way,
they just followed me whatever i stopped or tried to run away to the other
way.


the first time, i didn't realized that why they tried to follow me.
even i asked, they didn't reply my question.

and then that is the problem.


high lvl trader follow high lvl NPC thief.


and when they spwan, don't know why they attack my horse...
haha
of course, i died so quickly, either my horse....


3 times! 3 of 5 trade i died in the same situation!


after i died, i just saw high lvl trade player chat...
they're at 48, and i'm 27...how can i defend the high lvl NPC?


they said i'm a moron...yes, i know.
but just got mad and mad
because i couldn't get rid of them.
they stick with me after they got me...


don't know it was my fault, i'm too stupid....or...they have fun of that?
depressed about trading...

Called 1* popping. Lame lvl 70's who's bored spawn npc thiefs so they attack you. Then the npc thief kill ya trans and then they pick up your goodies.

Use a horse and when youre trading and you see any player thief on the road, go to the right into the bush bush.

ya until you reach higher lvl your kinda screwed on trade unless you can find a hunter

if your using a camel and you come accross a popper who incidentally starts coming towards you (you all know the dread feeling), alternate your directions regularly. he has to do the same to keep his horse infront of you but the quicker you can change your direction the harder it is for him to keep up with you. eventually his thiefs will spawn on his own horse and while he gets off the kill them, get your arse moving as far away as possible and then hide off the track, keep moving randomly too. youll lose him. oh and if his thiefs do start on your camel, just zerk and run, not worth the xp loss to save 20k goods

this is effective for me, last time i got popped i was ambushed by 3 players all with horses, all position around me. everywhere you turn, someones in front of you. i made them sweat it for 5 minutes though, they started with the verbal insults after about 2 minutes of their own transports being attacked
