With having had problems regarding ppl looting town's/home's/area's next door to a public home. I think it may be better with a one way or another policy. Either allow stealing from all warps/homes or not at all. With minimal effort you can afford to lock all your needed chests. If not its easy enough to hide some overflow chests in a random spot. I hid a few chests 1 dirt layer down within 80 blocks of old mining spawn with 1000r reward books in them. Nobody ever claimed them after sitting there for like 2 months. And that's even with ppl going crazy with their super shovels lvl'ing excavation. Anyways I just thought maybe this is a subject worth revisiting. Didn't see anything on the board and i wanted to see how everyone feels on the subject. Please leave some constructive feedback.
I would say move to the allow stealing from anywhere policy, except using town spawns, we have chest locks for a reason. But I also have to say that if a player is making routine stops to loot, especially using warps, it would be considered harassment.
We had some issues with this today, I say keep it where it is and leave the responsibility of public homes with users and people who live near them. Town members should make sure their neighbors' homes are private.
lol read my second post today we had a guy gain someone's trust, and then he stole from his home and ran away. They were both new players. Of course with the right information and ideas you can avoid this, however, not everyone does.
I'm fine with my first opinion on the matter as well, most of the newer players don't even read through the rules/guide completely or even skim it all so it's their fault.
