Would it be possible to get tip jars for players to use when performing or bar tending? Some thing that someone could deposit tria into but not be removed except by the person guarding it?
A Theft-proof tip jar?
This is just my opinion, but I think the theft-proof part breaks realism. In real life, what's to stop some jerk from coming along and tearing that little tin cup out of the hands of some blind, flute playing vagabond and scattering them all over the ground?
A community accessible container that people deposit and withdraw from sounds more like how a hat on the ground or beggar's cup might work.
Some will argue that people could just run by and hit a shortcut that targets the next item and picks it up ( both hat AND coins) with one click. Well, my argument to that is doing that without any kind of RP and without giving the victim a chance to react and respond is god-modding and warrants either a kind lesson in how to role play a thief, or a public shaming on the forums for those who know better.
With the way the current game economy is, you can loot or craft stuff that's worth thousands of tria ( tens of thousands if strong), or you could try to swipe a few circles from a minstrel. For those who are seriously gaming for tria and have no interest in RP, it makes no sense to waste their time looting the lute guy.
