I can't imagine being in a clan where I don't trust them with my items. Why tf you there then?
If you're scared of being scammed by your own clan mates, either you're too paranoid in a damn game, or you should just leave.
Or how about I dropped a bunch of money on Plat to get my items. I might game with people for years, it doesn't mean you truly know them anymore than people you talked to in a chat room on yahoo. Would you just send over money to hotdude24 in a chat room if you had chatted with them everyday?
I had a very good friend I worked with 6 days a week and played poker with twice a week and played D&D with twice a week for years. He had never done a violent thing in his life. One day he gets into an argument with a friend at his house, goes and gets his gun, and shoots his friend and wife. To this day they have never recovered the bodies. It just goes to show you can never truly know somebody.
Why do differences of opinion always have to lead to disrespect. Calling me too damned paranoid and should just quit the game is uncalled for. One of the problems with online interactions vs in person interactions is people can 'spit in your face' without any consequences.
