Pickpocket

[Moonguard 0]

Any reason why the chance of mobs ressisting Pickpocket is increased? Ressists occur like every 20-25 mobs in brd

 

Edit: seems fine after the Darrowshire restart today

It still seems a bit higher than vanilla, but maybe my memory is just bad. I get resisted in maybe 1 in 15 mobs and that seems pretty high. It makes it very dangerous to try and pickpocket while in instances.

1 in 15 is definitely too high considering this http://vanilla-wow.wikia.com/wiki/Pick_Pocket

Rumor has it this was done intentionally at least amongst a couple of the rogues in my guild. Since on PvE the droprates on things like Gut Ripper in BRD farming were fairly high but it was about 50g an hour with decent luck even without GR drops.

Unsure how true that is though, since like absolutely anything else it's pure speculation until it's confirmed. Though if they did tone it down to reduce rogue gold farming, I wish they'd do something about Maraudon for Hunters.

Nerfing a class's way of making gold doesnt seem fair to me, even if they did it to prevent gold sellers.... NEWSFLASH not every rogue is a gold seller + stealth detection of mobs is also high

Has anybody found any other way to make gold?
i really dont wanna just spam grind mobs and sell what i loot as my gold farm... Because every good spot is overfarmed or alliance keeps ganking the shit out of me... Pretty much very close to give up on my rogue as i cannot make any gold on it lol...
best alternative i have found is sm gy killing all trash inside + end boss for a very boring/low 20/hour LOL

Would love to hear a dev reply here.

Here I thought they were trying for a blizzlike vanilla experience but as it seems the chance to resist pick pocket has been increased for some reason, an exception has been made (you can call it exception, otherwise it wouldn't be an issue) and so rogues are at a disadvantage. Interesting.

Will there be more exceptions?

can we have an official statement about the above?

I pickpocket BRD all the time and haven't had much of an issue for me to complain about. I do experience resists just like you are experiencing as well. But, have you thought about changing your spec? You can run reduced vanish CD along with Preparation. Always think outside the box or try new methods before posting "Dev plz fix this"

At a disadvantage compared to what class?
