    The concept of it doesn't really make sense in my opinion.
    • If there's no sheriffs on, you're guaranteed to make 1.5k from it.
    • If there is sheriffs on, you're guaranteed to get arrested, unless we're going after a rogue or we just can't be bothered to get you, since we get no money from doing it anyways.
    • New players will do it, not realising sheriffs get notified when they do it, causing them to get a big bounty and get arrested. Then they'll be put in prison for ages, won't have an attention span big enough to mine out, and will leave.
    • Why robbing conductors? Why not rob a bank or a shop?

    Instead of removing robberies, how about adding more?

    Here is what I can say.
    Add more robberies in each town.
    Balance the payout and bounty. Gives you Rogue til you leave the town/or 1:15.
    Sheriffs get a notification a robbery is happening in town.
    Ex:

    TheMafias is robbing someone in Shaniko!
    Sheriffs must now go to shaniko to search.
    After the robbing TheMafias goes rogue and the chase begins.

    The reason of "robbers have a 0% of chance of getting caught when no sheriffs are online" isn't a very good one. By this logic, no illegal activities should be able to take place when sheriffs are offline.

    Also, it's very easy to get away with train robberies when sheriffs are online.
    • Sheriffs are probably busy doing something more important than catching a train robber
    • You can log out as soon as you see a sheriff approaching on his horse
    • You could right click the conductor and travel to another town if you see a sheriff coming
    • You could run away on a horse if you see a sheriff coming while robbing
    Robbing the conductor was how I got a decent amount of funds after quitting Wild West for a good bit. It's good for newbies. New players will know that robbing the conductor alerts the sheriff if they did the tutorial or simply look at the thing in chat that says "ROBBERY STARTED! SHERIFFS WILL BE COMING SOON..." in chat. Also, before you click that lasso icon to rob, I think it even tells you that sheriffs will be alerted of the robbery.

    I do think the amount of bounty you get from robbing the conductor should be reduced by half. It should be 500 for starting the robbery and 1500 for finishing it.
