What items did you happen upon? Fungi? CoF? T-Staff? I know people lay those around sometimes

I got a heirophant's cloak, and few other items work a few thousand. It was a gnome named Amazonprime or something like that, several weeks ago.
A bunch of other people got stuff, too. Was super weird.

So a toon named "Amazonprime" is dropping items on the ground worth tens of thousand of plat, you take one of those items under obvious shady circumstances and wonder why your account got banned?

Sorry but no sympathy here.

Lol, I would have picked them up too. If someone that I have zero attachment too wants to give me nice things, wouldn't it be rude to refuse? And I'm sorry but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt on things like this. He did nothing wrong. Amazonprime might have been doing this under shady circumstances, cleaning out somebody else's char, ragequitting, etc. But if he is purposely dropping items, and not doing so in an attempted ground transfer, how can you blame someone for picking them up?

I understand how this could be viewed as possible RMT.... But so could transferring an item for a friend....

If someone running away from a bank wearing a president mask holding a gun dropped $500K on the street, would you just pick it up and keep on walking, then say to yourself, "Hey.... This must be my lucky day!" ???

I understand the sentiment, but you got to take into account the context of what you are comparing. One is RL money, the other imaginary items (pixels) that are left on the ground in a game.

Granted I would be very suspicious if I see bags, picked them up and found a Hiero Cloak etc. The problem is, as soon as you would ask, "did anyone drop a bag with a hierophant cloak?" you'd get bombarded by liars saying they dropped the bag.

I don't know what the correct answer here is. Often times people DO drop things they no longer want. I never see someone drop mid tier to high tier items though, because if they really wanted someone to get them for free they wouldn't just drop them on the ground. Why? Because we all know items poof, and if it poofed no one would get it.

Yeah, if you find a bag with high tier items in it, better drop it back on the ground I guess heh. Who needs plats anyway? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

Yes of course. To not, would be ungrateful

If someone is drop transferring in the tunnel, I suppose they should be applauded for being risk takers...


Or just laughed at for being stupid.... odd that you got banned for picking up the items though.
