so you were grinding specs and doing 2 rounds of recharges every 16 mins from vendors 100ft away in an extremely public zone? Id say it was only a matter of time. Should take better precautions. That does suck but honestly you paint a huge target on yourself being so blatant and careless

Be more careful next time you want to exploit game mechanics to PL yourself.

Careful, lots of sociopathic scumbags here. After they drain their mom’s social security money to RMT they have to move on to shit like this. Sad really.

Actually in classic vendors were locked like TS containers... 1 vendor, 1 toon at a time.

Can we get some classic up in here?

Sniping people's items while they recharge is equivalent to theft - wouldn't even be possible in classic unless they exited vendor.

I remember not being able to use vendors when another character was using them, similar to how TS containers are.

Was this alpha and never made it to classic, or just not mentioned in patch notes? Cannot find any mention in patch notes.

Asking because (1) I remember it classic (but could be misremembering) and (2) recent case of item theft while recharging brought it to mind.

Thankfully, I haven't been ganked by these underhanded con artists, but the threat is real yo.

Anyone remember this or find any post, patch note, etc. in regards to this?

Sounds like pure conjecture on your part. No proof to backup this claim.

Provide proof of that then instead of criticizing that something isn't classic

This is similar to how I made a small fortune on blue. They were always easy to spot coming out of the NFP bank. Always low level, no gear. They'd immediately dip in to one of the random buildings around the bank. They'd find a building with stairs and vacant rooms. I'd follow behind invisible, careful to avoid them if they doubled back and bumped in to me. That would always spook them. Then they'd drop bags and bags of shit on the ground. I always assumed I'd end up banned from unknowingly scoring some RMTd items but that never happened. The funniest part is this ended up being more fun then the actual game and my highest char is a 36 shaman.

When you come out of the bank and turn left and go into a alleyway there is an inn with three stories and lots of rooms and it makes people feel secure. It's like a magnet that place.

Vendored items are fair game, sorry you lost...
