"Guild Bank" Common sense takes another heavy blow...

So I was in Iron Mines trying to get some of my Canthan armor infused, but everytime I went in with some loon warrior they'd end up failing miserably. I got fed up with it and decided to run infusion myself. I jumped into a Mo/W 55 suit and made a few adjustments, then advertised for a free run to get some real people to fight Eidolon instead of henches. I fill up fast and head out.

Soon enough while I'm in the middle of runnin, one of the random people starts talking...


Anyone ever heard of such a ridiculous scam, or further more someone who would fall for it?? I couldn't believe it the whole time until he confirmed it at the very end.

The thing that got me was that he was so nonchalant about it the whole time. He was a bit peeved but, by the way he acted, it was as if this kind of thing happened to him all the time...

Wallet inspector...

I'd forgotten about that.

pretty sad. im happy to say the only time i got scammed was trying to get a run from beacons to droks guys ripped us off and for about 2 months i pmed him everythime he got on. he never figured out how to put me on his ignore list.

Could've always been a guy with an extra account lying around that he allowed the guild to use. He allowed the guild use to use his storage for that account.

We had something similar in our guild. The "Guild Monk": someone had an extra account, and we all collectivly leveled a monk on it.... basically the owner handed out passwords to trusted members of the guild. Then whenever we were a monk short for a mission or a GvG we'd rock paper scissors to see who would hop on the guild monk and monk for us.

Was Muhammad a W/Mo?

Honestly, I'm not surprised by this. Sorry to say, but this guy seems a few bricks short of a full load, and I'll bet he gets ripped off frequently. The lack of intelligence exhibited by some people in this game is truly frightening.

Lol, and the way he was talking, looks like he is a 10yo, trusting anyone he sees.

Wow...just, wow. Humanity has failed me again.

its a shame that we share the gene-pool with people like this, eh?
too bad modern medicine allows some people to flourish, who otherwise would be "darwinized," if you catch my drift.

T_T oh...dear god...

thats a great idea

Except for the fact that it is totally against the EULA, and anyone in the "circle" could break the trust and change the login information and take the account...

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the EULA against that.

As for someone breaking trust...It's completely possible that those people are really his friends and they completely trust each other. Of course, no one should ever think of sharing an account with people they hardly know.

Dang, that IS pretty dumb. The thought of a guild bank, even being a storage, is a bad idea. If only the leader had access to it, he could take everything, sell the guild, and leave with a very hefty profit. If EVERYONE had acess to it, double the problems, somoeone could simply take everything in the guild storage.

...

Ok this is pretty stupid.

Why would you store your armor in the Guild Storage? Materials I could understand, but this is plain silly.

This is why I've always prouded myself in having a Storage/Mule Character, who's sole purpose is to hold my extra armor, weapons and other goodies.

It's people like this that make me not want to run anyone. Which I don't.

Yeah, its time to thin the herd out a little.

Well now the useless mocking replies are out the way, it's possible he thought he joined a guild that had trustworthy members etc. that's not an unreasonable viewpoint. If you join a guild and suspect everyone, perhaps you'd be better off not in a guild at all.

Who knows, it may have been an Officer? Without any further info it's pointless to speculate. Another note, from the responses in here it seems people are of questionable moral value themselves. If you see someone who's vulnerable/naive, do you think they deserve something bad happening to them? It's their fault? No, the blame solely rests with the scumbag who decided to abuse the situation. Period. They have the choice not to act like that, but they did so.

Guild Bank = Road Runna?
