expensive learning situation for you all. use trade windows--buy/sell for those exchanges. That's too much adena to toss on the ground for most of us.
The whole thing says more about the other person. The folks who do those things eventually become known and very often don't play very long. Less and less folks will associate with them--in a community game like this it gets very hard to do things on your own.
Sorry about your loss. Let it go like you would a random pk of your toon by someone higher. Unless your pick up raid group just happened to be alts of a bunch of allied mains, you aren't likely to be able to touch that person's main character (presuming they have one).
Post the players name on Bartz.
Sad when someone would ruin their playing reputation over 500k--that doesn't buy very much.
10k is nothing compared to what it could have cost you to learn someone is a jerk.
And I don't know what the rules are on Erica or Hindemith, but on Kain if you get a drop, whoever bid the highest gets the item, then drops the adena on the ground so when you pick it up, it's evenly distributed through the group. On Kain even the winner bidder stays in party so they get a cut back; but sometimes the group has them leave and drop it instead.
Very very common on my server anyway, can't think of a single time when it was an issue.
and we got a nice drop so someone buys it for 510,000 adena and person drops adean to split it.
This maybe an after thought but....
The seller and buyer should have opened up a trade window. :) Food for thought next time.
the point was to split the drop between the group. So the person buying it pays 510k which he drops on the ground and picks up so the GROUP gets the adena. Makes people happy
