I did it basically my entire 4-5 hour play session last night and had a blast. Thieving is such an outdated annoying skill to level most of the time, especially in the mid levels when ardy knights have a low success rate and the absolute evil monstrosity outdated piece of crap content blackjacking exists.

This is perfect, it's active, it's not annoying. The gameplay loop of pickpocketing for keys for as long as you want then robbing the houses is just great. It keeps the player engaged without making them click a million times a second, the xp rates are good (but not as good as ardy knights at high levels keeping them the high level meta). And the rewards although small do add up to a meaningful portion for players between 50-80ish thieving. Plus it's active as hell right now and will remain that way for the forseeable future, especially if a world is designated for robbing houses. It's a fun social activity that is neither mine numbing or annoying to do. I haven't had the opportunity to tackle much else in the expansion yet, but this, this I like. And the players in game are praising it as well.

Please Jagex, don't nerf this. You legitimately made one of your worst skills a lot more enjoyable to train. Best thieving update of all time.
