WATCH YOUR COMPANY CHEST!

[Snowcone]

It is very unfortunate that people take advantage of others kindness by keeping a chest for crafting items open to share amongst their group, just to find someone stalking Free Companies, asking to join, just to be standing at a company chest (unbeknown to FC) and steal all the items and leave (joined for total of 11 minutes)!

I am new to the Free Company concept and forgot that there are people on this game that suck the fun out of it by taking advantage of people who are still learning the ins and outs of this game.

So, just a warning to those out there, be sure anyone being added to your Free Company has absolutely no access to your chest. We learned the hard way. And whatever you do, don't invite VEIN JADE to your FC!

The best thing to do is not have instant access to your company chest to new members. There can be a trial period where you can at least see if they are really willing to be a part of the FC then their rank can move up along with their chest access. It could help.

we simply just don't invite random people to our FC. Problem is solved.

As unfortunate the experience was for you, it is part of the MMO experience. Now, you can dwell on it, or use it to grow as a player and learn from experience. In the future, when someone will say that they have had this issue happen to them also; you'll be able to give them the stern support you have been given.
Eventually, you'll find that we all, more or less, went through the same hoops and pitfalls. Nostalgia will have you remember silly things down the road and the worst situations will appear almost comical.
