Question about rule

[mahawirasd]

well, from what i've seen is number 1 and 4 is really risky - imho if you log out after dropping an item and someone comes along to pick it up when he sees that no one is there (let's say the delay to log out and log back in is 5 seconds) it's entirely your fault and there is no way for the original dropper to claim that it was his (could have been just about anyone else who dropped something and logged out in that spot)

in the case of number 4 i really think it's allowed (your own fault for seriously underpricing something) - similar to how missing one 0 is the seller's own fault when setting up a vend.

as for number 2, i have done that a million times in a secluded area with my wife (kafra cleaning) and sometimes some random char wanders around and takes it - usually we ask nicely for him/her to return it and we've had no trouble so far. Nevertheless, i personally had not thought of ever reporting someone if it ever happened - 1. i might be too naive, but i assume most HeROes are good people; 2. i would probably write it off as my own fault for not finding a "secure enough" place

now number 3 is a bit iffy. If you did that in the middle of pront, people just assume you're giving away stuff - so it would be hard to prove otherwise and hijinks will ensue. In the case of some secluded place, imho you can probably prove that someone just strolling by to take it is (at the very least) impolite. In the case of WOE, imho i would probably quote John Lyly...

as for number 5, again this would probably be similar to number 3 in the case of pront - i have also dropped stuff because i was opening gift boxes and kafra at the same time and some jackass just took some and left off -and i wrote that off as my own fault for spamming like a noob and not keeping an eye on the weight limit. Coz hey, if i'm just spamming (fishing/mining/gb-opening) it mindlessly, how am i better than a bot?

TL;DR: i do not condone such acts but imho it's your own fault for being careless and/or not bright enough to ask someone nicely to help you transfer (which you can SS AND report if something ever happens)
