FYI, this isn't about morals. It's about rules and risks. Once you drop the item, it's free for anyone to pick up, which you knew. I don't know how it is on this server, but I lost bags on Live selling gear in EC because when the trade cancelled, minor items filled the inventory slots and my bag hit the ground. This was before the fix where the overflow items defaulted to your cursor. The person I was trading with snatched it and reluctantly handed it back after some tells and OOCing. That was a system flaw and would be more along the lines of stealing. Good luck, man. | |||

Trust 60s ONLY or get robbed
Quote:
He chose the worst person in tunnel to trust. OP was probably in a rush an just picked whoever he seen first. Or just super drunk/stoned. Or retarded. He chose a level 7? with no gear that can easily be deleted and not missed lol. An whoever told you this guy was trustworthy, was it his level 1 alt he just made to tell you some bullshit? Lol. How did OP expect to not get robbed? That is like giving a homeless guy 10 grand an tell him you will be back in a month to get it. Complete non sense. Being dumb will get you robbed every time. Agreed. Trust level 60s in a known guild and you can be assured they are not going to delete.

"To take (the property of another) without right or permission." What is the difference between handing someone my gear, with the expectation of getting it back and dropping it on the ground (in a obscure, secluded area, mind you) with the expectation of getting it back? Shouldn't it be my property still in both cases from a common sense perspective? Is my intention not the same in both instances? | |||

Dropping on the ground is discarding it, it isn't really your property then - like I mentioned re: fishing grubs - should someone be petitioned everytime they pick up a ground spawn item?
Don't forget in lots of zones in EQ there are ground spawn items that the game creates as well (why should a player have to distinguish? they both look like a brown sack until picked up). Also - I don't condone of stealing the items (fwiw) but I also do not think GMs should get involved - if you give a stranger your items that is your mistake - they should not be punished by a GM for keeping imho, but like I mentioned way earlier, if GMs did not ban a scammer in this way, there would likely be rampant scamming (more than there is) and it would be impossible to do things like MQ or get an OT hammer via puppet strings (as the "customer" could just choose to keep 300k strings for their cost of the MQ). Edit: your real world analogy for dropping an item, would be going in a back alley in a city, dropping off a backpack of goods (maybe money? gems?) and leaving, then coming back later expecting to find it there still - if some bum happened across it, they simply found some unmarked goods (have you ever found a penny and picked it up?)

If I found a Fungi on the ground, it's obviously not spawned from the ground. I would be searching for the person who dropped it. | |||

And how would you decide who dropped it (outside of GM intervention)?
/ooc Anyone leave a fungi around here? Just found one on the ground, need to know who to give it to I'm sure you'd get lots of takers on that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Could always stand there for 5 minutes knowing that if someone was transferring it, unless they are grossly misinformed about how transferring works they will be logging on a character in that exact spot within a few moments
