OUCH! Really sorry to hear about that. Though don't feel too bad, I'm sure we've all dropped our MM drum
or some other valuable weapon before. Sucks that you couldn't find it though!

I can certainly comisserate with you about jerks complaining about you "hogging" the giants. I did this a
lot between levels 30 and 32 (made a bunch of plat, and got real bored with it). Generally I could get
people off my back by informing them how to get more giants to spawn. There is the potential for WAY more
giants spawning than you can handle with charm. I still remember the time I had 6 giants running after
me. I actually survived, getting credit for 4 of the 6 kills! Of course, I still have to say, that my #1
reason for dying while doing this is when other people (intentionally or unintentionally) run into the
middle of the "area" I'm charming in. And I've gotten very good at it, so that area is pretty small.
