A part of me wants to purposely drop items so random people can pick them up but I know chances are some loaded tunnel mule will pick the item up instead.
I think the ideal way to do this is to charm some lowbie mob, give them the item, then let charm break. The mob will now have the item, and the next lowbie to kill it (not some tunnel rat) will get it.

Whether they give them back to you or not if he in fact picked them up is another matter, but I'm pretty positive any item can be tracked from player to player.

Items, I believe, have hidden ID tags, your item may be:
Gauntlets of Fiery Might_2427

Which means they are the 2,427th pair that has ever dropped. If Cained is wearing this pair, he can't hide. Whether staff would out him or take action I don't know.

Pretty sure tags like that are used to track RMT, handle disputes, etc.

RMT and scamming don't pay kids, don't do it.

I want justice.

You have to petition OP and find out the truth.

Then make a RnF post about it.

I found someone's xfer once. Waitdled till they logged their alt in and got them to confirm what was in the bags before handing them over.

Very thankful person they were.

I'm pretty sure this is correct

I'm 99% certain they wouldn't. Whether the guy lied about it or not, picking something up off the ground is not against the server rules.

Yup. I think that even might have worked here once, but there was some issue with it (maybe technical, maybe players doing stupid stuff with dropped coins) that made the devs disable it. But it also might just be a Titanium issue which never worked.

It sounds familiar. I seem to even remember people dropping 1 Copper to mess with people.

Then again that was way back in '99.

Drop the bag under water and it's less likely to be seen. Otherwise, yeah, if you really are so worried about an item that it's worth wasting a guide's time to maybe recover it, waste a level 60's time instead. Screenshot the xfer request and if they run off with it, they can be punished since scamming is quite frowned upon here.
