Safety lock is a joke

No, this is not a rant about 'take out sl omfglolwut i cant do ne quest'

...

Safety lock is good imo, gives people a nice safety for PKing and still has that nasty drawback to it.

However I just noticed that there's no 'safety' at all. The whole idea is to keep your account protected, yes? At least that's what the devs tell us. We are given a certain timeframe to prevent losing our equipment/coins and retrieving our account.

Then why isn't buying items from NPCs disabled?
*noob jacks pass*
*noob logs in*
*noob buys 5000 pickaxes from the npc*
*player broke*

I mean wtf? Even if you sell them all back to the npc, it's never gonna be all of it!

If the devs want the safety lock to do what it's supposed to do: fix this.

    A GREAT idea. Maybe change the title (if you can) to something like: make the safety disable buying items from NPCs. Also, a poll would be nice.

    personally i think safety lock should be removed completely as a way to pk without dropping.

    since that will never happen there should be more consequences to using safety lock.

    -buying/selling completely disabled.
    -no pot usage.
    -no charm usage.
    -no bank/account stash usage.
    -25-50% chance of shatter upon death.

    right now safety lock is just a complete joke and really does need some serious changes.

    NO ONE has ever been **** on this game.

    -giving out your password is your own fault.
    -going to websites that might install a keylogger is your own fault.
    -not having an antivirus program to prevent virus/keylogger is your own fault.
    -giving out your password is your own fault.

    yes i said the same thing twice because that is 99.99999% of all cases when people claim to be ****. if you give it to anyone even someone claiming to be a GM you deserve to have your entire account cleaned out.

    -account sharing is against tos (even if its not heavily enforced)
    -no GM will ever ask for your password to your account.
    -if you do decide to share your password you are now responsible for the actions of that person whenever they are on your account. even if they rob you blind its your fault. if they get your account banned its your fault.

    -_-

    I agree with you, don't take me wrong. But not everything is 'your own fault'. It could be possible that no one has ever been **** on this game, I don't know, but I'm sure as hell not going to take your word for it.

    Personally, I don't use safety lock, but I can imagine there are people out there who at least like the idea of it being turned on (besides the pk-free factor). Think of people who have kids running around the house... Let's say you're afk in the middle of archo and they drop your TT80 weapon?

    Also 25-50% chance of gear shatter? Wtf man, it's called a pvp-server not a comeheretogetyourselfscrewed-server.

    The reason that one can do free PKing with Safety lock is due to the fact that it raises the rate of gear shattering. restricting pot and charm use makes it rather unfair if someone accidentally has it on and they aren't PKing... I guess that the reason for buying would be due to the needing of pots during PK. But what kind of hacker hacks into an account specifically to buy things, and then can't do anything with it? Sounds more like a jerk more than anything else.
