Hey all just wanted to give a heads up and possibly start a black list thread.

Our fleet just accpeted two guys who then cleaned out our bank. Luckily the only valuable thing was the resources. Self note lock down the bank.

Anyway just wanted to post the names of the offenders

names have been removed because there is no "calling out" people on the Star Trek forums. ~you pal, Indigofyre

Thought this might help others from having the same problem

    this is what the access rights are for, you should only give officers and the like access to remove things from the fleetbank

    ouch, people like that are jerks. people think that just cause its in the bank you can just go and take it all without asking.

    if anything they should only let certain people able to pull out items or more than x creds at a time.

    Aaah this brings back old EvE memories. There's no security access to the bank with privileges ? Great design, kudos Cryptic :D

    You're not allowed to post the names like that. Prepare to be edited.

    Also... seriously, with those names what did you expect?

    This happened to my Kinship in LotRO. A new recruit cleaned out the chests in our kin house, logged off and deleted his character. Must have mailed them to another account. Needless to say, we only gave officers access after that. ;)

    Sorry that happened to you OP, some people can be real jerks.

    you can set limits.
    you can even set how much, like no more then 500 per time so on so forth

    there are options in place.. he was just dumb enough to allow everyone to have access to the bank..

    I have a question, about the limits that you can put on the amount of Energy Credits a Fleet Member can withdraw.

    Once a limit for how many Energy Credits has been set within the Fleet Bank tab, for each rank within the Fleet, how long does the limit last for once the maximum amount allowed has been withdrawn?

    For example, if the limit is set to 1000 EC and a Fleet Member withdraws 1000 EC, will they then have to wait for a certain amount of time before they can withdraw anymore Energy Credits or is that all they can withdraw permanently?

    If you reply with a useful and informative answer, thank you very much for your help.
    :)

    Then I take it back, this is not Cryptic's fault, this is OP's fault :D

    I'm not saying it was Cryptics fault. I thought I had set the limits apparently not.

    I just don't want people to make the same mistake that's all.

    I also don't care if it gets edited. However these dishonest people do exist so just make sure you set your limits.

    Yes I understand, I'd be pretty annoyed too, especially if you tried to set the permissions right. Any chance it was a bug ? It could be a pretty ugly one if this were to happen to others ?

    How is it against the ToS to call them out? No proof? The bank logs will clearly show withdrawals by those players, if they did indeed make them.

    Except that the options don't work and everyone has access to the bank anyway.

    yay bugs!

    Just in case

    Defamatory Material
    Posts and/or private messages that, in any manner whether directly or indirectly, defame any other user and/or any Cryptic Studio employee, officer and/or director may be subject to an infraction.

    In case your wondering, the word "defame" essentially means to talk bad about someone(which is what calling someone a theif is, even if it is true). If a person is behaving inappropriately, they should be reported. However, naming individual people in a post like this is actually against the rules and inappropriate behavior in itself.

    I would like to say that I did not steal anything from anybody. I have never played an MMO and have no clue how to even play the game yet.

    I was in game when i heard OP whining about this "bank robber".

    Are you out of your Vulcan mind? If your fleet leaders are so incompetent that they give out privileges to anyone, then you were asking for it!

    Technically you weren't even robbed since they were given permission and full access!

    I say we start a black list on incompetent fleets so we can avoid teaming up with you :)

    this is what i love about the @ name system, you can't just pull this off and get away with it by wiping your toon. I know who i'll be adding to my ignore list when i login next.

    I think of it this way, those two had the option of showing that fleet its error by either taking everything or by informing them of the issue, they chose a way that i find unacceptable.

    actually, theres a known bug where even if normal members werent given permission to use the bank they could still pull stuff out from it. so technically it would be cryptics fault then if the fleet DID put the restrictions in.

    Dude, your between 6 and 10 days old. If this were EVE you'd still be in your Cruiser wetting yourself when a HAC so much as raised an eyebrow in your general direction.

    You ARE a noob, by definition. We all are.

    "everyone is doing it"? really? this hasn't happened to our fleet yet. we got nearly 100k creds in the bank and not one cred has been pulled out, nor any of the items.

    Not all fleets have this problem. So speculating if this bug was what in fact happened is conjecture. The chat in game that i was privy too certainly alluded to them giving the privileges out.

    Now that is not to say DA'gents lack a certain moral fiber

    but hey they can go start DA FLEET now. **** happens.
