Picture the scene, A monster drops an item, it's a free-for-all grab fest! That's what MMOs are all about. But no, now it's "OMFgz I killed that monster/I hunted that for ages it's rightfully mine! You stole it!" - If you're one of these people, please remove yourself from the online community.
Now, I'm not usually one to rant but there is an upward trend starting where people are claiming that an item they want that you took from the floor was stolen from them.
It was not your item. It was dropped by the monster. If I stole it from anywhere, it would be the monsters looted corpse. Some people need to stop being such crybabies, if you want a 100% chance of being the person to get the item, play offline. People online do not owe you anything. Just because you're playing, watching your screen, does not mean everything that appears on your television set is rightfully yours.
If you drop an item on the floor on P2 and someone takes it, as immoral as it is (I wouldn't take items like that) it's still you're own fault. The fact is only items in your inventory and bank are classed as yours. If you willingly give an item to the floor, what do you expect? Not everyone is nice. And the reason there is no trade window in quests isn't because "OmFGz!!11 ST is st00pid!" it's because you have made a commitment to play the quest (some quest elements are timed) and you should not be blathering around on P2 trading! Help your team!
The only real stealing in PSO is when hackers use codes to steal from you. It is only an electronic representation of a sword or whatever, get over it.
Back in the good old DC days you used to drop your weapon and meseta when you died, when someone took that item people claimed it was stealing. It's not stealing, it was an element designed into the game.
Please people, for the love of God, accept loss as part of the game!
