Trusting others for an item transfer

[Tethler]

I've had random people help me transfer dozens of times. Just look for someone with a guild tag (there are usually repercussions in a guild if someone is a thief) and who isn't naked (naked toons are often mules), jot their name down just in case, and do the trade. Have never had anyone steal my stuff when I've followed those rules.

If you ask some naked level 1, you're gambling.
