Hm.. I think theres not really a need for going sarcastic, since there are not really reasons to be disappointed at all. Of course the victims now complain, since they actually cant strike back icly. They surely will try, with more or less valid approaches, and I think its quite natural, after all they were fooled. You didnt expect to post this and have everyone, including the victims to cheer, did you? If so, think twice next time, otherwise just face it.
boring 240 page novel describing every facet of my life leading up to this event
You pretty much got it: I personally, for one, am not interested at all to read over 200 pages about a boring life (or 200 boring pages about a life.. take it as you wish=P) - a few lines describing an exciting break would have done;)
(lol of course kidding, Sov.. I just couldnt resist
)
If I may be appearing to be on the burglars side, then its due to the simple fact, that I like how they made use of mechanics icly, while the victims, instead of simply making proper use of it, now go and shout for even more mechanics. Think about it: Having your suggested marking on each item, will the next step be to implement one more instance that requires any prove of being the righteous owner every time you want to use it (like for instance every time sending a request to the stated crafter..)?
Get over it, folks, mechanics will never protect you from committing mistakes, if you wont make use of it.
