oh yea NPCs do pick up bags ive watched the qeynos guards do it before

NPC's picked up stuff on live, but I've never seen it happen here. I do a lot of drop transfers myself and only once lost my items because of having the misfortune of the login server coming down. But that's the risk.

shinko can do all your trades 100% safe

Safest places to drop transfer are empty buildings in cities.
All that can go wrong really is your client/computer crashes. I don't know how long it can be on the ground before it poofs.

I believe back in the day on live you used to be able to give it to a mob.

What really sucks is that you can't drop gold, which you could definitely do back on live. Gems aren't too bad for exchange rate, but it still sucks.

60 bard in TMO...i was just sitting there in EC tunnel...listen to people argue was pretty awesome. next thing you know some guy is handing me 2 bags, "Got room for these?"

Uhh...sure i said, wasn't doing anything anyway. He's like ok brb...ok stuff prob worth about 25k all together. He came back...gave em his shit, and went back to doin what i was doin.

Honestly i used to do this 2...look for someone in the bigger raid guilds, ask them to hold my stuff...and do my trade, most likely they will never need your junk.

Top two inquiries in EC - buffs and transfers, in that order. Neither are a problem, unless you've got some strange biased opinion about high-level characters like the OP does.

lol, now I got a strange bias

Yeah, you do.

Your thread is essentially asking for help, except you pepper your request with phrases like "everyone has a douchy attitude" and "I have no idea what guilds have a good rep, none seem mature to me".

I'd still transfer your items no questions asked, if only to teach you a lesson in not forming generalized opinions about everyone else playing this game.

I've drop transferred a fungi twice in the past week, shit always gets my heart pumping. Is my client going to crash?

God I feel nerdy admitting this but when I drop transfer high value items I keep an extra laptop nearby on char select in case of catastrophic desktop failure.
