Drawing heat.

I currently run a level 52 rogue, which got killed in Thurgadin for picking the wrong lock which is understandable. But, after getting killed my heat was capped and apparently for some reason the Lottery Master in Athica takes offense to drawing heat as if she were a guard. I put down the game for a day after getting my duration renewed because she also sees invisible for some reason. Well, one day later I'm still capped on heat because it doesn't diminish while offline.

My suggestion is either allow heat to decrease while offline, remove the ability for that random npc to see invisible, or remove her status as a guard all together. I got killed by her in 4 swings literally, didn't even stand a chance to get away.

I now have to sit and do nothing in Athica for 45 more minutes since the heat didn't diminish while I was offline.

Another suggestion could be give rogues an AA that increases the rate that heat is reduced greatly, so they don't suffer and have to waste their time doing nothing. If nothing else as well, dying shouldn't cause more heat considering you've already been punished for your crime.
 
I agree that the lotto master shouldn't be a guard.
I disagree on the idea of a heat reduction AA for ROGs, simply because they (and to a lesser degree bards) are the only classes who can draw heat to start with.
I hope you are joking when you say you have to hide for 45 minutes in athica. Leave the town every now and then and adventure, heat will still diminish.

I figured that since rogues are the only ones that primarily deal with heat, there's no reason it would be unfair to other classes to give them a way to reduce the threat by AAs.

Also, the reason I had to hide is 1) I couldn't get access to any merchants to buy food, since I was low on food. And 2) Every time I tried to get by the Lottery master to go fishing, they'd slaughter me in a second. Also, it's hard to fight with no endurance regeneration as a rogue from lack of food.

Again, even allowing the timer to diminish while offline should be acceptable in my opinion, since your character is only "camping". That way you can even play an alt while you wait.
 
Heres a list of things to do if you're a rogue with some SoD Heat:

1) Exp out of town
2) Explore
3) Go to blackburrow and practice pick pocket.
4) Setup a farming camp with the 30min timer mobs, you will be surprised how fast your heat goes before a named pops up.
5) Stay logged on and go for a walk, or ride the exerise bike.
6) Stay logged on, and pretend to be interested in your family - play a board game/card game with them.
7) Stay logged on, offer to do the shoppin for the spouse (wins you brownie points and reduces your heat in game as well).
8) Load up a box and make fun of the rogue thats sitting around bored unable to walk by a guard.
9) Get passed out drunk and wake up and realize you never had any heat at all. (my favorite)
10) __________

Clearly the best option :)
