Case in point..I was standing outside the bank at Qeynos a week or so ago
and a player named "Crimany" or something similar was begging every player
that walked by for platinum or spare weapons or armor. I was doing songs and
waiting for a friend so I was there a bit.. This guy asked no less than 20
people and was there before I got there and after I left. The worst part is
that you could watch as he actually got a lot of stuff from people. (You
could see him put it on) I know people like to be nice, as do I, but what's
the point of this person playing the game? (By the way, he was level 2 and
definitely not a "restarted" character)

Does that actually work? You can give an item to a monster and if they get
killed, it's still on the body to recover? If so that's a completely
fantastic idea and I'll start doing that immediately with all the rusty
stuff I find and maybe the occasional tidbit. Thank you!!!! (No sarcasm
what-so-ever, this is a really great idea!) By the way, if this actually
does work - is there any kind of time limit as to how long it'll stay with
the monster?
