If I buy patchwork armor off a vendor should I be named/shamed?

No?

Explain the difference.

You didn't pay 200k(or invest the time it takes to get that much plat) for that patchwork armor. I understand your stance but trust me you would be singing a very different tune if it was you or a friends 200k down the drain.


I would pay 20k just to know who it was so I know that person is a thieving cunt.

Buying something off a vendor =/= thieving.

I remember many times where an item was ninjalooted off a corpse, picked up off the ground, etc where either GMs intervened or players flamed the thief endlessly/whiteknighted for the victim.


Why is this situation any different? Same idea really.


Furthermore there was almost no GM intervention in situations like this on live. The precedent here on p99 though is a very different story.

Personally I am against GM intervention in cases like this. However if you're going to suspend scammers/ninjalooters/move raid items from one player to another after the wrong person looted it (not classic) I fail to see any difference in this situation.

If I drop items on the ground, switch between characters, and transfer items, I run the risk of losing those items forever. Same deal with recharging.

OP lost his item through no one's fault but his own. OP needs to own his mistake. That he would fail to see how he is begging for a handout as he rags others about this is just the icing on the cake.

Aye, but then GM's reimbursed players (or atleast they have in the past) who've had their characters stripped/scammed, items ninjalooted, item's that have been dropped on the ground/picked up by the wrong person?

I mean I've seen friends have item's stolen off of their account numerous times in the past (recently as wel) because they shared their info. Sometimes the GM's would move the items back to the rightful owner, other times they would just tell the person who took their things and leave them to their own methods of retrieving their items.

I mean I'm all or being responsible for your own items/actions, but if the precedent in these situations was to reimburse/assist it seems logical to assume the course of action would be the same in this case.

That's all.

Wut. How is sharing your account info and someone stripping your toon even remotely close to vendoring your crap, forgetting about it, and someone else buying it?

It's already getting way too into hand-holding when we're talking about reimburing items if someone drops them and someone else picks them up. There's a setting in Options to never drop items if people really can't figure out what they're doing with their inventories.

Humans are supposed to be learning from their mistakes. Not having both their hands held so they can't make any.

[Tasslehofp99]

My point was that really if its been done in the past for people in the same/similar situation, it wouldn't be fair to stop now. How many epics exist on p99 only because a GM was nice enough to reimburse an item that was eaten due to stupidity/mistake?

That's all.


I guess what I mean to say is that if you reimburse one idiot, how can you not reimburse the rest?

Sure you draw a line somewhere but I would prefer if (as im sure most would) the playing field was fair for everyone in all situations when it comes to reimbursement of items lost due to stupidity.

Granted this is rogean/nilbogs server and they can do whatever they please, I just think if there was going to be a classic stance on reimbursement here that it should've applied to everyone since the beginning of p99.

[Man0warr]

There is no reimbursement that needs to happen, the item wasn't lost. It still exists on the server, and whoever bought it off the vendor is now the rightful owner.

hey glad it took losing ~200k value to get you all laughing and siding up agaisnt me.

Maybe i should have done the same when bitches used me for ~500k eh? bet we woulda had our 20 pages by then.

As a sidenote, enjoy your free plat lucky_dark_elf_001, too bad you dont have balls.

[kaos057]

You lost your shit out of your own doing. People are siding against you because you come here accusing someone of pretty much stealing it from you when it's nobody's fault but yours. You are a dumbass. You fucked up. Get over it.
