it was your own stupidity and impatience that lead you to take the risk of transferring with a level 8 stranger.

the threat of getting banned is actually a really good incentive not to steal someone's shit in a transfer. in this case, you stupidly trusted a low-level newbie that would happily eat a ban on a level 8 character for 10k in gear. next time, don't be an idiot and find a high level. i'm not gonna eat a ban on my level 60 over 10k, and i guarantee no one else would either.

Really!! Every guild on here has had some Jackass that had permission to the guild bank rip it off at some point in time even if he was a level 60.

X amount of people in the world are shitbags and unfortunately a lot of them seem to play on here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The real issue is that we're still waiting on my bug report regarding tradeskill containers and storing items (in classic you could store an item in a trade container like a town forge until server reset - here when you close the container the item returns to your cursor).

Item transferring would be simple if we could find obscure forges/etc. to drop the item in and get it out with a different toon (barring a full server crash).

Haha I can imagine it now. A whole army of level 1's running amok throughout every starting city checking tradeskill containers. Hell, I'd make an entire guild to do it, call it "Dumpster Divers". No container would be safe!

Not to mention it would create an all new veil of obfuscation for RMT.

RMT Vendor: Your purchase will be deposited in the Freeport Peoples Spit outback The Wayfer's Roost at 11:30pm local Shanghai time!

If you really don't have any friends, or guildes, and none of the reputable traders are around. Do yourself a huge favor and at least ask a high level in a well known guild, someone with something invested in the character doing the transfer.

I think he's repeated enough times that the high levels he's asked have refused because they are afraid of RMT bans (they have a lot invested in their characters.)

This is the core problem. Previously RMT bans didn't catch people who did transfers (or at least no one complained about it). But in the most recent wave of bans the staff did decide to ban such people, and while that might be great for fighting RMT it has had the unfortunate side effect of chilling legitimate item transfers, invalidating the old P99 advice to "use a high level from a reputable guild". Evidently this has resulted in more opportunities for scammers, so it seems the staff traded (hopefully a lot) less RMT for (a bit) more scamming.

Personally I'm a "go to Freeport, find a random building, then do a drop transfer there" kind of guy myself. I've heard plenty of horror stories from others, but personally I've never had a problem.

I'll still transfer for people. I just ask if it's RMT plat or items now. Everyone says no, of course, but I feel like I'm covering my own ass. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'll take a 3 week suspension (and wait while the GM's sort out my innocence) from one out of the thirty transfers that were dirty.

But that is why I'm a server hero.

Pretty sure you can't leave items in forges/etc. on P99. When you close it, they go back to your bags.

You can thank the RMTers for that
