Question on Game Ethics.

[deathwalker]

Hi all,
Never posted here b4 , but ran into some game trouble, and thought I could use a few more view points on the subject.

Well I've been searching for Mordi for a while now, and bump into this noob selling the last few pieces I need to complete my set, pay him like 16 UJ's for 2 pieces. Then I put in the peridots, garnets, opals, UJ's etc + the runes for re-loading. This noob character also happens to have a unique ring which he exchanges for One Frigg Staff (20% mounted), and one Normal Frigg Staff.

After about a month I get a pm from the guides saying the items have been reported hacked and belong to someone name Dragonseena. Now they said they would pay me back what I paid, but wht about the crafting I did on it?

Also I know for a fact no one can hack anyone unless passwords are shared, and I personally hate that cos I find it disgusting when people share RPG ID's and more than one person plays a character, as it ruins character identity, and is sort of a cheap way to lvl up as those characters will always be higher since more than one person are lvling it.

In a lot of MMORPG's where the community is a LOT more sophisticated e.g Shimlar, Lineage, Everquest, and the classic Diablo 2 (NOT XPAC), multiple players playing a character was a serious offense and those characters r always looked down on and disrespected.

So my question is..... SHould I return the stuff to the guides?
Or should I tell the Guides to take a walk, and too bad for the character sharing noob who lost his stuff................

Also wanna know the general opinion here on character sharing.

As u mentioned some biggy sells his / hacked items under the cover of noob id. In many games (runescape for 1), the game admins specifiacally asks player not to buy items from someone who is too low to have such items. In terms of A3, dont buy mordi items from lev 10 noobs. But again since this is a3 india, ther r bound to have ppl around who like to sell from ther noob ids. One reson being to avoid begging for it (personal experience- make a shout to sell something n get 5 pms asking them to give them free or below my set price, that too pms from those who tried to pk me a day before).

Bullshit !!!!
FACT.The guides have made it a point to NOT return equipment to hacked charecters and have made OFFICIAL announcements and posts to this effect.

Is dragonseena an ultra high level charecter and even if he is what makes his case special?We all know of a lot of high lvl chars and not so hi lvl chars who havent got their stuff back after being hacked.so i think it would be fair to return his stuff only if the guides make an OFFICIAL statement that they will recover equipment for all charecters forthwith otherwise it would simply be stupid if they are partial to some charecters.
