Why has pickpocketing been nerfed to be unblizzlike?

Recommended Posts

As a rogue I do not have many ways to farm gold. On retail vanilla it was possible for me to pickpocket BRD and LBRS to make gold at 60. On here, since they are nerfed, the most effective alternative is grinding mobs, crafting, and playing the AH.

Why is there not any pushback against changes like this? This is not blizzlike. Furthermore, why are things like Hunters/Locks farming Princess and Mages AOE farming lashers, BRD mobs, etc considered sufficiently in-line with the "spirit of the game" that they are kept in tact where pickpocketing runs are not?

The server's developers are vehemently against interfering with the processes through which players obtain Devilsaur Leather and I agree with their stance on this. So why is there a double standard when it comes to rogues pickpocketing mobs? Were pickpocketing runs destroying the server's economy? Did pickpocketing effect this server's ecosystem in such a significant way that letting it remain blizzlike was untenable?

Guys, as rogue we really need more eyes and votes on this. Our gold farming is suffering greatly. If you have a reddit account, pleasepleaseplease, upvote this.

I was unaware that it has been nerfed or anything. Can you be more specific about what's changed and when?

People say that lockboxes stoped droping greys (specificaly rogue diaries which go for 45s)

But I am a bit confused because I did an SM stealth run yestarday on my lvl40 rogue and I got plenty of greys (including rogue diaries) from the lockboxes. I am on Zeth Kur btw

So its either high level junkboxes not giving greys or its specific servers?

On Zeth'Kur the boxes drop grays, even from lvl 50+ mobs.

Well, they fixed RFD junkboxes. Now junkbox gives grey items such as rogue diaries and etc.

On anathema ?
