Sorry, but you can't go on thinking that everyone has the same wealth as you. To some, the 5 platinum is huge. The amount of money isn't even relative, as it's the principle. He'll do it for the shard, he'll do it for the gold max damage low requirement storm bow.

Incredible wealth means something in this game? Could have fooled me....

He didnt do anything WRONG.... He might be a low life and not very nice. But he didnt violate any rules at all. Leave Anet alone for real issues...

Do you think they care that YOU didnt get a shard because you were dead and no one had a rez?

Geeze, 4k worth of loot and you want Anet to do something about it?

Everything that drops for any person (ie: is still says "For Carinae Dragonblood") should go into a Unclaimed Items box if you leave the mission.

So, in this case if you got a great drop and you were dead, you would have to leave the party to guarantee that you'd get the drop.

I do have to say if that stuff happened in real life. I wouldnt leave the house without a firearm.

Yesterday A monk went AFK in our UW group and just before our spider capper could cap the spider, the monk came back, grabbed the escort new souls quest, got them killed, then left.

Take my advice, before going into UW or FoW, grab as many friends and guildies as you can. Because the people hanging around the ToA are not good, like PvPers they are.

And to all you saying this is nothing because shards are worth nothing. The people stealing things worth nothing would be twice as bad.

fog_of_redoubt · Aug 19, 2005, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Well, I didnt say it wasnt bad... I said the guy didnt violate the EULA, and ANet has more important things to worry about.

Get over it

Don't worry, you're not the only one who could care less about this.

Now, maybe if you had tripped and fallen on the street, dropped your wallet just in front of you, and had a piano fall on you.. Then some random comes along, decides to take your wallet and walk off.. THEN I'd care. It's pixels. The game is meant to be played to be ENJOYED, not to just mass gold and complain about items taken from you.

That was nicely put.

Serves you right.

i dont agree at all that he deserved it, as he didnt do anything stupid or wrong... but i do think that getting worked up over it isnt the right way to go about it. the other guy didnt do anything "wrong". i think what he did is crappy, but he broke no rules established by the powers that be.

things like that make me miss playing shadowbane.... someone does that to you, you just go gank them and thier guildmates for fun. if they really piss you off, you wipe thier city off the face of the map.

RAWR ain't that the truth. These people just don't know heh....

Warlawk · Aug 19, 2005, 09:58 PM // 21:58

im still convinced that the mechanics and concepts for shadowbane are the best ive ever seen for a game... now if only thier engine didnt have holes big enough to walk through, and was generally a bug ridden piece of crap! ah well, heres hoping for shadowbane 2 <crosses fingers>
