I don't trust a face I've never seen. I love my guildmates, but I don't know any of them personally. When one of them asked for my home address so she could send me something she made me, I gave her a PO box outside the city I live in instead. She is now no longer playing the game, and I never received anything from her. That doesn't mean she had ill intent, but I also wasn't going to find out if she, or he did or not. I make it well known that I am here just to play the game, so any attempts at getting to know me personally, meet me, or asking for RL information about myself are immediately shut down.

I also don't put anything in the company chest that I am not willing to give away. We've never been robbed that I know of, but there have been times where things were taken and the FC leader got very upset. I did warn her to keep what she needed instead of placing it in the chest, and that restricting tabs only serves to give the impression that she doesn't trust her own guildmates.

I am really sorry to hear about the circumstances. You would like to think you can trust people, but they show time and time again that privileges need to be earned.
