Purpose of robbery:
First we need to understand why we are robbing somebody and what are we trying to achieve:

To take their goods from an individual which we would rob. ( Materials, cash, weapons, drugs )
To gain an easy money without trying hard to work for it.
To get drugs of an individual if our character is dealing them or addicted to them.
To get some guns of an individual which is dealing them in your hood.
The purpose of robbery is simple to get their goods and make a bit of a cash, its NOT to harm somebody without any reason, we need to remember to keep it realistic, a robber would want to make a simple jump on the person and not try to harm them so the simple robbery turns into a big crime like murder.

Preforming a robbery:
We need to remember that when we are robbing a person we need to keep it very realistic and avoid Power Gaming. So think of those points.

Dont jump onto a group of people which you seen they are armed, it would be very unrelistic and stupid to do so, as a single indvidual to take on a group of people.
Don't do it in a public place for example at the Pizza Stacks, where people would be around everyday and you can been seen easily.
Don't rob people at public places or where there might be cameras without a mask? It would not be very smart of you and also unrealistic.
The robbery is or should be an act quick and quite, we are trying to do it fast and unseen ( You would not do it randomly near the Police Officer ).
Give them time to respond, don't randomly go and take their money, let the respond where the money is, don't /me takes cash out of a pocket. Because maybe that person does not carry cash in a pocket?
Preforming robbery can be an simple act, we can simple go behind them and point a gun at their back so they can feel it and ask them to give you their wallet.

Example:
/me walks behind an individual taking his gun out as he points it to the individuals back.
/low keep calm and give me your wallet.

That should be enough to preform an realistic robbery without harming them or making a BIG scene out of it, the guy would then have to RP some kind of fear because they would not know whats going on, they would not randomly scrim because it could be acted on as UNRP actions because they did not RP fear where in a real life situation you would pee your pants.

Keeping it relistic:
Keep it realistic, this is the biggest problem around the robbery RP, people just run in to the shops/areas to get the stuff but if its not enough they are killing them or making a massive scene out of something which would be a simple robbery. We cannot rob people on the streets where there are people because you would be seen and the police would get to you easily, try to think of places like back alleys or around the corner, don't run in and preform a robbery if there are cameras or people. Every single robber would look out for themselves and would not put themselves in danger of getting locked up. If we dont have a mask we would not rob somebody next to the camera would we?

Think of stuff like:

Is the place correct?
Is it day or night?
Would I be able to do it in real life?
Is there any cameras?
Would it be possible and realistic?
Do I have something to rob with or just fists?
What kind of RP do I need to preform.
