How funny. Of course nothing came of it, but it illustrates the mindset of some folks who succumb to paranoia and always assume the worst of everyone. I shrugged my case off as dorks being dorks and went on with my business, but some folks might not feel like shrugging it off. Some folks might decide to tweak a raging guy and see if he rages himself into a stroke.

Maybe, just maybe, a guide with a long queue might skip over a petition where everyone involved was behaving like a twit.

Don't sweat it. I've failed at a drop transfer before. I assumed the item just ground rotted, so made my bi annual petition to see if I could get it back. Apparently it was actually taken by another player. Once another player takes control of an item that was dropped/given to an npc/sold to vendor it becomes that new players property, so can the original owner cannot be reimbursed.

Despite being stung by this ruling I think it is fair enough. NPC vendors are not safe deposit boxes. They are there to buy and sell goods.

I think you misunderstood jimjam--I didn't buy their crap. I don't want their crap. I did nothing in my case except walk past the aforementioned breadline--simply being in the vicinity was sufficient to elicit threats and anger. It was simply an example of the pointless paranoia and aggression harbored by a portion of the population here which this thread happened to remind me of.

Don't worry, I understood completely. I was merely pointing out that even if you did do anything there would be little chance of retribution against you. They would have just been advised to be less careless in vendoring their important items next time (and no doubt would have brought a massive whine thread to the forums).

It is funny when you are just hanging out near some 'serious' players and they go banana thinking you are going to steal their mobs, train/wipe them, etc. Sadly, even in crushbone this happens.

The few tells you posted are not proof of anything, and there seems to be some missing.

So Naturia saying "Happy Thanksgiving I'm coming back and taking half your camp now" and "GM's will make you share" doesn't strike you as the type of thingsomeone who just trained you would say?

Tbh it could just be a snooty reply if you were being nasty to him. Most people don't like being wrong and many do not respond well to criticism, ESPECIALLY if it was an accident. Most of those with any sort of confidence will just reply with a FUK U, like that, but that was more polite and dismissive. 10/10 response if you started off being a turd :/

lmao that doesn't mean he trained you on purpose. His first tell says such. Why not post all the tells?

Those are all the tells. I didn't need more than 2 screenshots to capture our entire conversation.
