Yeah well this is how it's always worked in XIV. People will always be assholes.

Also I'd like to openly state that I once removed everything from an FC Chest, because in an old FC I was in a terrible person was put in charge of the FC, and they changed the rules that any money that was put into the FC was not allowed to be removed at all (Lost 3m back in the days of 2.1, back when that was a decent amount). They even used it to buy a medium plot without discussing anything with anyone else. Shit happens. If someone has permissions and decides to abuse them, it's the fault of whoever gave said permissions.

Do you know how many cases that SE has to handle a day that aren't about item related issues? Now imagine if people could be reported for taking items from the FC chest because they have permissions. Don't want people taking your stuff? Don't give them a chance.

Hell I've played a couple dozen MMORPGs, and there have been cases of stuff like this where either the company CAN do something, or CAN NOT due to the rules they have in place. MANY companies are against going in and editing peoples' accounts by removing items and then giving them to someone else. It's a VERY gray zone and many companies don't want to even touch that. It's not every single MMO out there that isn't XIV. So don't act like it's a blanket statement.
