Why would you stand in the EC tunnel on red with a bunch of coin waiting to be killed/looted?

Yeah that's why GFay was the auction zone on Vallon Zek. Dudes trying to do shady stuff at the Kelethin banker got shot down by the guards.

I believe they don't give it back because in effect the money is still out their floating in the system. Creating more and handing it over to the victim would then effectively inject synthetic currency into the market.

But then you think that the amount of these thievery incidents happening can't be that high, and it's also a game.

Gotta love it - we can't stop printing money in real life, but in a video game they try to adhere to sound economics.

That makes no sense. The GMs would just have to delete the stolen plat/item(s) at a minimum.

I don't understand how people don't know how to do transfers at this point. Are you a new player to Everquest in general?

As they have said, use people in reputable guilds (like any of the guilds listed on the raid page) who are high level. They have no reason to steal and have a reputation to maintain. The guy you trusted, I've never even heard of, which means it was an extremely bad move to give him anything. I don't know who these "people who said he was trustworthy" are, but I imagine they get a cut of his scams.
