i think those are some of the worst ideas i have ever heard in regards to faction ideas.
you seem to forget that some people play factions strictly for being a thief.
its a art form for them to steal, hide, sneak, reset ect ect ect.
your asking them to kill off what a lot of people enjoy and play faction for because you are too lazy to cast earthquake or hail storm or get a area effect weapon or cast poison strike (lets see thats necro, magic, myst, melee all covered).
OR, take up tracking or detect.
so many ways to oppose what your complaining about.
