This is a hit to the community. Saraya had been forming strong groups since she began playing this enchanter. You have likely seen her group schedules on the forums, and maybe have grouped with her yourself. This is a great player that, as far as I know, has not made such a mistake in the past. Instead she has helped others, while only relatively recently been seeking help for her epic quest.
A mistake was made, and it is one that can be corrected. It is unfortunate that she did not communicate better with those in the zone, as I know her to always communicate when our groups were to encroach upon another as to assure we do not disturb them. I do believe Saraya was in the wrong, but I also hope that any ban will be temporary. Many of us enjoy our time in the groups that she invests so much energy in to forming for us.
If you re-roll Saraya, you now damn well I'll help you get rolling again. It seems unjust to lose your enchanter over this.

Truthfully, I had been in a HS group with Saraya like two days before this happened. It was pretty short-lived because she joined halfway through, but she seemed like a good player and a cool person. I was surprised when I saw the message in guild chat saying she'd ninjad the book. I cringed a bit when I saw Chest had made this thread; Saraya didn't seem like someone who deserved to be name and shamed and have something like this follow her around. I knew the GMs would restore the book, probably suspend her, I didn't see any reason to drag her through town in a big cone hat and let kids throw horseshit at her. But, it was done, I had no say in it, whatever.
Here's the thing, though, that I'm trying to wrap my head around: Is it really possible to be a good player and not an idiot and really think that this "the corpse went unlooted for two minutes so I thought they had just gotten a group together to kill the mob for no reason and weren't going to loot the book and no one would mind if I took it!" argument is going to fly? Could anyone who's played this game for more than fifteen minutes in their entire life, never mind someone who has the wherewithal to form groups and grind dungeons and lead,
really believe that could be a reasonable excuse?
