We're talking about two different things -

One is drop transferring items, which is very classic and which I did then and do now and which I think should stay as it is. I always knew some safe places and the only time I ever lost anything is when I made the mistake of doing it in Rivervale, where some of the NPC's are 'tidy' and pick things up.

The other one is drop transferring plat (what this thread was about), which was also classic and which can no longer be done because of the client side restrictions. Personally, I don't have a huge problem taking the 5 percent or so loss involved in dropping vendor gems, but that is still not quite classic. I was trying to suggest a way that even plat transfers could be re-instituted within the current limits of the game.

The shared bank is very convenient; I would love to have it. But it's not classic.

If you know anything about this server, you know that shared bank slots will not (and should not) happen.

In diablo 2, if you got into the very high end such as joining IRC chats to find out which IP servers were going to spawn diablo clone and such, you did a LOT, and I mean a LOT of mule'ing items.

To alleviate some of the problems this caused, they kept a 'trusted transfer list' that had a list of trusted people that can/will do transfers for you. Could try something like that.

This is a good idea/ My only misgiving is someone who gets on the list and then sees an item they cannot resist. That can be a problem, and there is no way to recover items or money that someone has ganked from you. Like Boneface did.

I'd really like there to be a way to transfer cash between toons. Currently I don't "know" or "trust" anyone in the game (i'm not in a guild), so I wouldn't be able to get cash to my other toons. Any way to enable only cash transferring on shared banks? Or allow for coin dropping? That would be great [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No shared banks forces people to develop trust with people/build friendships.

I think something people forget is that all these "conveniences" of modern mmorpg reduce interaction between players. The more the computer facilitates the experience the less people will interact. Verant did a 100% stellar job in forcing people to interact......it's almost like they knew if people didn't have to interact they would do so minimally. Do you guys realize WoW is solo-questing, no-talking auto-formed cross server groups, and pickup raids?

I vote for as much headache as possible to accomplish things solo. The more headache the better.

How about ya'll do it the classic way, and make friends/join a guild? If not, find some BFE corner of some zone that no one goes into to transfer items. Most cities have random places in the zone that almost no one ever goes to.

Having to drop items / trust others with valuable platinum is risky, seemingly stupid, and extremely frustrating if the inevitable occurs.

Sounds like classic mechanics to me.

I'll be happy to transfer anything for anyone. My main is Tork, but I have a paladin parked in EC tunnel. So hit me up on Tork and Ill do transfer with my paladin at tunnel (though ill be able to port around soon, so if Im not busy I'd probably do it on my main, but donation would probably be appropriate.)

I've been scammed before so I wouldn't do it to anyone.

Course, you still have to trust me =P I'm not a thief though. I got scammed out of everything i had once by a douchebag druid who I paid to PL a rogue for me and to transfer some items. He took the items and the plat and didnt even PL me. It wasn't even all that much, maybe like 800pp all together, but it was everything I had.

He laughed at me and bragged about it.
