i think we need to wait to see what pvp, pk and thieving rules are set in stone before we just start guessing about this kind of stuff. makes it pointless when we throw ideas around and say one is more valid than the next. for all we know we can kill anyone we want to anywhere we please with a giant pink dragon raining down sulfur and lollipops. But back to OT i think that if someone can steal some hard earned loot from MY cart, or my inventory, there should at least be an option to tear that bugger limb from limb. What fun is it where a thief is protected by law to not attack in town or in non PK, PVP places. There should be an options that if someone steals soemthing from you and you notice or are aware of it, you can challenge him to a duel that he cannot back out of. if he has enough agility and he is a skilled thief, then he can run away from the fight w/ out a scratch.
