Has anyone around here ever had an item stolen from you, and then returned like a week later because the person felt bad? Or tried to repay you in other ways for selling your stuff?

[Nitro]

Nope. But I did get laughed at and have the guy tell me I deserved to get scammed for ever trusting someone in an online game.

That's just plain terrible. Did that happen to you on the Ymir server? Valkyrie I know it happens kind of often.

[Nitro]

No, it did not happen on Ymir.

If someone asks to borrow an item from me and I agree, or I offer to lend something to someone, it indicates that, in exercising my judgment, I have judged that person to be valuable and trustworthy-- that the success of their plights are more valuable to me than the risk of losing that item.

For them to take it, (And especially in Nitro's case, laugh and ridicule me for trusting them), they're saying that I judged wrong in assuming they, as a person, are worth more than the item. Not only does it lessen their reputation, but it shows at what level they really value themselves.

Happens a lot more on Valk, but it has happened on Ymir, where I've lent things to new guild members who have ragequit the guild and kept the items (Usually expensive ones, too), and upon realizing that they passed up a pretty good guild, offered to return the items and rejoin. nothx.

I genuinely feel bad that it has happened to you in that way. I know just what you mean about the guild thing. There was this guy that returned the value but not the item to me. It was strange I didnt expect that, though I did kind of pressure him to, he came back and offered up some stuff to try and make up for it.

Items are items, zeny is zeny. If I tell someone they're worth lending something to, and proceed to lend it to them, and they then maliciously "steal" it, it's theirs. I don't want it back. I don't like the idea that, by them taking something from me, they have material leverage against me in some way. Clinging onto it in that way gives them power over me and power over the guild, at their mercy. If it costs a WCP or an elemental sword or a +15 Valk GR to find out who I can and can't rely on in my guild, then it's money well spent. (And I am not a rich person by any means)

Their severing of friendship/relationship over an item is petty. I won't credit that pettiness by placing the item as the pivotal point of the relationship and say "Give that back! That belongs to me!" It justifies that it was something worth stealing in the first place.

Hope that makes sense back on Earth. Out in the void of my mind it's perfectly sensible.
