At first you will most likely get robbed a lot for the first 2 ish weeks in city but after that once you start talking to people you will find that the community is full of very good and nice people (mostly) also a lot of the time the people who rob you most likely are not following the 45 second interaction rule so as long as you have a clipping software which is required you will be able to get your stuff back.
Most encounters ive had with staff have been great given i dont break rules so we speak through normal interactions. But in a whole community and staff are all great people to my knowledge. give it a chance and try to read the rules before actually joining.
