YEARS ago that was fixed..

I think invis should be NPC only, I also have never benefited from invis so of course I would not be sad to see it go entirely! Just seems like it would be easier to get rid of it. Problem solved.

Invis is fun and has uses, it shouldn't be completely removed, because one or several asshohats decided to abuse it.

On Old Sparkle Road in the city of Sparkle. The Bank of Sparkle is to the

There are four obvious exits: west, north, east and south.

Is this really gonna continue to be allowed? Really? REALLY?

Truthfully this is ruining the game.
And makes me wanna get see invisible and kill every fucker out there that steals.
Repeatedly

I must carry really terrible items all the time. I have never had this happen to me. Or maybe my awareness is just super trashy.

That being said, I know I am not a representative sample and that I will be the first to try and kill the bastard that takes me item(s).

In the meantime, if you haven't yet, use a trigger to <close all> as soon as you catch someone trying to steal from you.

One you catch the asshat visible, post his name/description immediately here. Everyone should add to KoS list.

Unfortunately there are alot of methods that can be used to become invisible which have been implemented in many different ways.
Some have already been adjusted, some have not.

It's not about methods actually, methods are fine. It's about revealing when stealing fails.
