the greatest temptation in pwi

o estoy :O


from what i see i assume Data handles several billions of coins, so a scroll of tome wouldnt be a loss as big as for some others
but on the other hand he seems to be a nice person:3 (not like most other fishes in that caliber)

...he was drunk, right? lol


--


people only drop **** to me where there is no long thinking IF or IF Not
and if its some worthy drop, some blue name picks it up while i am at 20-30 m distance xd
(i still wonder who made profit on that nirvana helmet :C)

I have lost enough gear through PK to allow empathy for anyone else who might lose gear by my doings. I know how much it sucks to drop something, haha. But hey, its your own damn fault if you drop something in PK. Use GS and relog your SL, y'know? Its happened to everyone at least once.

Chances are? Even if I loathe you I would return anything. Regardless of the value. At the end of the day.. Even if it is -just- a game. Id feel to bad walking away with someone else's belongings. Or something that wasnt rightfully acquired.

Suppose maybe its all just a question of integrity. :P

today i lost a GS in PVE Q_QQQQQQQQQQ

for me it all depends on who it is that drops something. EG if i manage to kill a sin that usually tries to farm me, I would keep it or sell back at reduced value (considering if they are pvping without lock or GS, something tells me they can afford to replace whatever drops). If its someone Ive had no previous issues with / isn't a jerk off I'd let them have it back.

I would never keep other people's drops. I know people work hard for what they do have in game and even in real life. I would feel horrible keeping something even if it was dropped by someone who was nasty towards me.

This is actually a major reason I don't pk - I didn't get to vote in the poll, but mark me down for "I'd keep it." EDIT: I actually WAS able to vote, when I first opened thread, it only showed results, no option to vote, but after I posted, there was the poll

The only time in pk I wouldn't keep something someone dropped would be if I was messing around with faction members and one of them dropped something. A guildie, sure I'd return what was lost, ANYONE else, sorry, don't pk if you don't wanna lose your ****.

Another reason I don't pk is because it seems fairly dominated with sins and more of an annoyance than anything else, but mostly because I'm afraid I'd be that lucky girl to see something like that tome drop and I'd run like the wind with it - I don't wanna be known as a rotten *****, which I would be if I did something like that, so I just quit pk'ing altogether.

Yes, it's more fun when it's friendly, but if I saw certain people drop things in pk, I'd do my best to snatch up whatever it is and then do some nasty world chats showing it off, just like I have seen these certain people do to others.

of course, you just perfer kill stealing in CoA with your hubby ^-^

After carefully thinking about this question, here's what I would do / have done in past.

I don't p in dreamweaver server, ever (outside of TW), however I have an alt in Lost City server, a 79 veno. One time another player attacked me there that was roughly equal to me. I ran away and he gave chase to me, so I inspected his gear quickly while running away and compared them to what I had and came to the result that I had superior gear and since I knew how to fight with my veno, I decided to stop running and take him down since I had determined I had a good chance at succeeding and indeed I did put that guy down and he dropped some low lvl, fairly worthless ****. He released and started cussing at me immediately, however despite that I went to quite long ways to return his items even if they werent worth much and he was being to jerk to me after I killed him.

So from that I can say that I would very likely return any items that were low worth for free, even if they were less nice to me.

However, a 400 mil tome? Depends a lot on situation and the person. If I see one just laying around not knowing whom it was, I'd propably keep it. And yes, you'd be amazed what kind of stuff you can just accidentally stumble upon at times. Have heard people finding truly valuable items just laying around.

If I knew the person that dropped it, I would propably return them unless they were being an absolute jerk. This statement I base on what happened some time ago with a ex faction member that I had bit of a crush on at first before he showed his true colours. I got a great, great, great TT90 arcane top to loan for TW. After TW I tried to return it fully repaired as was fair but he told me to keep it. Time passed and I asked if he wanted it back and he told me to keep it. Things fell sour between us, he left the faction and when he got mad at me one time I asked if he wanted the top back and he told me to keep it. Some more time passes and he contacts me out of the blue asking it back while insulting me and my faction. I tend to be nice even to those that are less nice to me, but when he insulted my faction he had crossed a line and so when he finally asked me to give the top back I decided to blacklist him and kept the top.

Therefore, I believe that if its just some random pk and theres no cussing, I'd propably return even a 400 mil tome, but if they get really nasty with me, I'd propably keep it, or sell it to someone else for full price, but under no circumstance would I sell it back to that person even for full price. That might spiteful, but at the same time, if I went to PK mode and dropped something, I'd be mortified yes, but I wouldn't expect it back either. At the same time I'd be utterly delighted if I did.




In short, yes, I'd give it back as long as the person ain't an ahhsole.

Well there are two things that should be kept in mind.

a) a person who goes into PK mode without binding/protecting the gear can not blame another player for losing an item since it's the persons own fault that he/she has done so.
Moreover there is a reason why PWI has included binding of items and personally i would consider it unfair to all those people who have payed money/coins for binding their gear to protect in PvP

b) on the other hand there is an informal mutual agreement on DW that people should get their stuff back when they drop it even if those players dont have any claim to get it back like explained in a). Especially in a case where the item is worth a lot of money/coins most people will agree that keeping such an item would give them an unjustified advantage since they simply dont deserve the item even if they have it. So if you want to be a good person you have to give it back especially because your conscience would eat at you when you would not do so. And you will not expect anything in exchange or any reward for giving it back.

Personally i think the best way to solve this situation would be that the original owner of the item makes a voluntary payment to the new owner of the item to get the item back. I consider half of the price of the item as too much but maybe 10% of the item value which in case of a 400mil item would still be 40mil. That sounds fair to me

I've dropped plenty of things at OT, Expensive or not. I never seem to get them back, which sucks But when people get killed and drop something, even If I`m in a duel or getting owned, I always manage to pick it up, So they don`t have to go through what I did, Even if its a 400mil tome, or a mirages, I always will get owned just to pick it up for em'. Maybe I`m alittle too nice? haha.

Interesting case.

DATALEC is a great guy. But aside from that, if you were him would you want the tome back? If I were you I would give it back. He will forever be grateful for you.

But technically, it does belong to you now, so if you decide to keep it, you still have my respect.

I do not think other people should affect your decision. What makes you happier? Doing the nicer thing/making a friend or getting a wonderful piece of gear? Completely up to you. Two things to remember. Do not feel guilty if you keep it, and do not regret giving it to him if the reason you do is because everyone else wants you to.
