Man, pretty expensive Osode, just cost the value of his reputation on that server, unless he was already set up for a server swap or something.
On the other hand, it was a pretty expensive way to really learn the hard way
I personally dont really feel bad for naive person who lent it to him. in this day and age in game, after scam after scam has been proven succesful against a select few with the certain common foolishness.. did they ever buy shiheh in a bazaar for 9k each when they thought it was a stack? or quickly swap out an emperor hairpin with an insect wing because they shared the same graphic icon?
Though it kinda sorta happened to an LS mate of mine but in more of an accidentally legit way.
I dont know about you other servers, but on Titan many different types of casinos run by players been popping up in whitegate lately. Tho ive tried a few runs and pretty much broke even before stopping, a buddy traded 100k for a bet and shortly after this "casino" redballed shortly after. not to be seen online since. now he could have quite easily just as well lost the random and been done with it but it wasnt the case, he won.
I highly doubt GMs can do ***about it though, over my few dealings with them theyve been about as useful as a fish needs a bicycle ingame. unless it was an actual game error, like a misdrop item off a bcnm that was due to game error, there isnt much hope. Ive reported my fair share of RMT tele-bots over the years and even that leaves me thinking im talking to a chimp bashing a computer keyboard with a baseball bat. Its almost got me thinking GMs themselves are bots programmed to respond a certain way depending on the action.
sorry it had to happen
