Question about rule

[n3xus]

I had a question about the following rule:

Do Not Loot Steal

Do not steal the loots of other people, be it from monsters or when a player is unloading pets. Items on the ground, especially if unloaded from the pet, still counts as the player's property.


This isn't a whine about the +7 devi muffler. I am only looking for clarification of the rule. As it is written, I am assuming people can take items in the following conditions with no consequences:

1) taking items on the ground from a player doing a drop transfer to his/herself
2) taking items on the ground when Player A drops something for Player B
- people do this because they are lazy
- people do this because they are having fun
- people do this because it is actually FASTER than doing the trade manually
3) taking items on the ground accidentally dropped (as in the muffler's case)
4) buying items from a player doing a merchant vend transfer
- player sets up a merchant on some random map/location to vend his/her items
- player switches accounts
- player buys the items on the 2nd account to transfer
- much safer than drop transfer and avoids random DCs that some of us have been experiencing lately
5) taking items dropped from a player when the player starts dropping them due to being overweight at fishing/mining spots

None of these situations involve "loots" coming from a monster or being unloaded from pet. Are my assumptions correct in that no rules have been broken? Again, no drama intended. Just trying to get it cleared up to avoid any future misunderstandings.
