Issue with players stealing from Company Chests...

[MC_CosmoCanyon]

I'd like to thank GM Kroyipi for responding so quickly and compassionately about the matter of our FC chest getting intentionally raided by a player who had asked us before hand what would happen if he did so. Then did so anyway.....

The issues is being handled, thankyou SE for responding and GM Kroyipi for being very respectful and precise about the issue.

I'd like to make a suggestion regarding the gameplay interface for FC chests. We understand we can block all items for lower ranks, but this doesn't suit us because we enjoy helping new players and many of the items in there are to specifically help new players who need gear. We don't not want to block all access for these players. However we considered it would be a good thing if SE was to add an option for blocking the AMOUNTS of items each day a player from each rank can remove from the chest. This would help the issue of players contiously stealing from Free Company Chests while still being able to keep the items open to players who actually need/use them. We are just suggesting being able to control putting a "limit" on the amount of items withdrawn at one time/per day so these raids cannot happen in the future. Like an option that the lowest rank can only remove *5* items per day would do the trick, we could adjust the settings therefore large amounts of items could not be stolen before leaders would realize what is going on and prevent this issue from continuously happening. Thanks!

Is..the GM doing something about this? I am genuinely curious, because a while back on Hyperion there was a certain person who was jumping between FCs raiding as much of their chests as he could then leaving right away within minutes. We were told by GMs at the time that there was absolutely nothing that could be done, as the player, while being a jerk, hadnt broken any rules.

I like the idea of putting a limit on how much is removed. I dont like having to stop members from withdrawing anything at all, and its rough keeping track of which rank has access to which tab along with making sure people arent putting things in the wrong tabs.

I could lock my door, but I enjoy spending my time away allowing smelly homeless ax murderers to rummage through my knick-knacks and peruse my secret hiding spaces.


I would also love to know what the GM did/is doing.

not afaik, you can report this as grief but GM will not do something about this case as they will not involve to much into player play style, so player will have to deal with this issue themself.

And this is why FC leaders need to learn to LOCK the FC chest 2 and 3 for those who are rank below 5.
Also Chest 1 is always full of junks

there is no reason at any point of time that all members need vault access.

how can you say that someone stole material when in the first place you AUTHORIZED him to access the safe ????

unless he did use some alternate program that bypassed the block??

If that is not the case, I am sorry, there is only you to blame for such.

I dont agree with this that I find dubious but you took your chance you place your trust into someone and allowed him/her something, responsability is on you. This way of not accepting your responsabilities is kind of weird, next time you will pay more attention.

Not everybody is honest or has some code or maturity. Now, if someone wasnt allowed and did it, as in NOT having the permission on the safe to do that, then is anotehr story, other then this, your complain is just plain out of place.

I do think that we need more tabs in the FC chests so that we have more space to store items that should be freely used by anyone while still having space for items that are designated only to trust members. This is how I would set up my FC if I had more than a few members.
I'd say 6 tabs would be a good start. 2 tabs for junk/lowbie stuff, 2 tabs for gear/common crafting mats/materias and 2 tabs designated solely to trusted members only. Just my opinion, but I can dream XD

I think more security features associated with the FC Chest is never a bad thing. More options, more flexibility, allows a bit more micro-management. Nothing wrong with the suggestion. So please, those that are jumping on the OP saying it's his/her fault need to back off. Regardless if it is or is not, he/she and the rest of their FC members are the victims. Lets not make it worse, okay?

Well, lets be fair here. I could join an FC, behave in such a way as to generate a lot of trust and good will from the leaders, then as soon as i have bank access, loot it for all its worth and run away.
THAT is griefing. That is joining an FC with the express intent to work up to a point that I'm trusted with bank access so as to steal from them.

Its the same as befriending someone with he sole intent of learning what valuables they have so i can steal it when they're not looking.
