The guy who cussed you out in game and looted your items is probably another oversized fat kid with sausage fingers who was probably fapping while looting your dead body. People have such prick mentalities this would be more than reason enough for me to not to touch this pile of swamp ass.
/Failed. Mortal online is not a grind type game so we are not fat. We have the time to go to the gym near where we live and go play MO to kill some noobs or some players that are not better then us.
Step 1 of creating a character: Harvest the shit out of trees/Harvest the shit out of boars.
My point was, every game has flaws like this and I'm not saying MO couldn't be better in this regard, just saying if its going to really ruin your day when it happens perhaps playing in a beta version of the game isn't your best move?
The difference is... the issue described is not considered a FLAW in MO. This is how they want it to work. If the response from the company was along the lines of "We need to work on issues like this and are testing some concepts in-house" that would be great. Instead the response people get when they post about how bad this mechanic is " Working as intended", "GTFO Carebear" or something similar. Of course those responses are from the "community" and not the company because the company only responds to random concerns like how to photoshop pictures of the Community Manager...

Hope you still feel that way when Macroing is banned and harvesting is cut to 1/3 of what it is now. No... clicking the left mouse button 9,724 times to harvest enough ore to make an item.. that wouldn't be grindy at all.

I think the problem is that the mechanics encourage people to do things like leave empty bags on the floor so they can call the guards and insta-kill someone wandering around and taking a look at the game. But that's a matter of opinion... some people enjoy using the system to find ways to grief folks. It's been going on since the beginning with people trying to imitate thief chat by typing "Lextor has stolen something from you!" and then calling guards when the guy attacks them.
Some people find these mechanics enjoyable. I say they are certainly "working as intended" but personally find them to be horrendous, but again... matter of opinion.
I'd just like to point out that the OP has not answered these two questions: Was the loot bag "on the ground" as you say in the OP or "on a dead body" as you say in your response? Did you " pick it up" as you posted in the OP or were you just "opening a bag on a dead body"?
In the absence of these answers, "leave empty bags on the floor so they can call the guards" may be irrelevant. A totally different ceries of events may have led to the incident the OP describes. The person may have been attacked by another player but was unable to call the guards quickly enough. The attacker then looted the dead body of everything except a bag. He returned just in time to see cesog lookting his corpse and called the guards to keep his own things from being looted.

It's not irrelevant.. it's a current game mechanic and is used by lots of griefers.

In every other game, I have to put in my payment info. NEVER has any other game used the info I bought the box with. They are trying to bill you without putting in payment information for your subscription and without your consent. No one has agreed to be charged a subscription fee. That is why you have to activate your account in other games before playing by putting in the payment method you want. They can't just decide that the card you paid the client with will be used for your subscription too.
In mortal online, you have the ability to call in guards in cities which have enforced laws. This more or less autokills anybody who has done a crime.
After over 4 hours of cutting wood, i go to the bank, and I see a loot bag on the ground. I innocently pick it up, and see the person whos dead body i had just been looking in call the guards on me. Apparently, looting some bags inside a city are ok, but others make you a criminal. I was then forced to watch as he happily looted my wood, cursed me out, and told me to quit the game.
If he had tricked me into a corner, and murdered me, I would be sad, but not angry at him. He would have fairly stolen from me. The fact that he abused a glitch meant to HELP noobs, is what has made me exit mortal online for the last time.
If it was just one thing that was wrong, I would suck it up. Maybe even 2, or 3 major issues. Even if it is a beta, the client shouldn't crash every single time you log out, and you shouldn't be able to run for hours without any signs of where you are, and absolutely no way of ever knowing. But the list of tiny glitches, and incredible flaws, is endless.
Mortal Online is darkfall online with a crappier combat system, and worse gameplay.
may the trolling begin.
The game in phase C was awesome had structure they seemed to have a vision of where they are taking it.
After Thief patch, it turned into a Cut and paste game.

I agree, before the thieves came in the game was enjoyable, i'm not whining here but the thieves in MO have turned a lot of ppl away and they will prolly never come back, i will be there at release no matter what but all i can say is that if they want to keep subs, they need to fix thieving and fix it fast.

Nope, no grind there.
He who keeps his cool best wins.

I played UO.. UO was a GREAT game for it's time. MO is NOT Ultima Online... not even close.
PS: You can't really think that's "the only problem with MO at the moment"... Desync? Lag? You know.. the reasons why they actually delayed the game?

Oh, I thought this was something important.
Read into the game mechanics next time.

The thread we are on is about getting guard-whacked for looting dead people in town.
