On live and on P99, I never believed the hype that drop-transferring was really a viable option. For every one person I have ever seen say "oh yeah it works, I do it all the time" I see a hundred people screaming in OOC, WHO TOOK MY FUCKING LAMMYYYYYY
I don't think there is some phantom player taking peoples' shit off the ground. People go so, SO out of their way to find the most secluded spot. To assume that there is someone who knows you're going to the middle of Paineel to drop a bag of alt gear and follows you there, lurking in the shadows so you don't see them, is incredibly paranoid. I think people are wrong about how long items last on the ground. I think they go the fuck away.

I would like a source on that ratio.
Seriously though, drop transfers work fine. AFAIK the items will stay there as long as an NPC corpse will. I've done them between accounts dozens of times both here and live. Of course you are going to see more crying about failed drop transfers than you will people bragging about successful attempts, people don't shout in the zone that they just successfully completed a drop transfer...they do if someone snagged it up though.
Without a doubt, I would take my chances with a drop transfer over a random person any day of the week.
