The main thing about this is what smedy and others said is 100% right, these are 'big items' not just in game plat wise. But if stolen for RMT they are HUNDREDS of dollars if not more most likely. Everyone understands that after gear has entered and changed hands through multiple transactions its impossible to get it all back and have everyone satisified and restored, but just the fact of a tstaff and an aon alone. a tstaff is probably 200-300k plat min, an AoN is somewhere in the 500k+ to priceless range if you even find one for sale? Someone who is stealing this shit isn't going to keep it and use it because if they get caught they lose out so its easier for them to RMT it or sell for plat and RMT/trade it to blue plat and RMT there.
Small items, not really a big deal. High priority valuable droppables like these? Yes I too think should be re considered on or at least talked about in open forum by the staff more. I can see where this for one leads a player who has invested a lot of time into the game to quitting for good because wtf wants to restart again after losing that type of gear? and it breeds more people who are going to do this, knowing GM's won't take action.
