When trapping a container with a tinker, once someone unlocks it, and then tries to open it, it should go off. The only way it will go off here is if you use the lockpicking skill on it. But if you use the spell "unlock", the container is unlocked and the trap is deactivated. I understand that the box must be turned a certain way etc but it still will not go off.
I brought this up to a GM, who in turn agreed and talked to the owner of the server. She said that it works just like it is suppose to. Every server I have played, works the way I described that it should. Why would a person spend all the time and effort to raise lockpicking when all they need to do is train magery to 30, and cast unlock, and then not only unlocking the container, but also disabling the trap? Again the owner knows this but says it is how it is suppose to be. If this is correct, then dungeon chests must be fixed where I can just cast unlock on it, and open without anything hurting me. The whole "end game" for gm'ing Tinkering is the traps! (well pot kegs too).
Please reconsider fixing these traps. If I trap something of mine, it should go off when someone unlocks and opens it regardless of how they unlock it. Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks
