is it -right- for me to give away or even sell these drops to other guilds? I can get in anyone to loot as long as they are kod'taz flagged (attainable, with some difficulty, by Vex/mid-PoP level characters). And I've already had quite a few Bloodlink Chainmails, Aegises of Blackscales and so on rot or be given away to friendly guilds. Probably about 15 or so items, and the number will become substantially higher in coming weeks. But should I start giving them away to total strangers or selling them?
Do as you are pleased. give away, or sell, or let rot. although one can't have enough money
(as long as Guild is ok with it).

similar thread, as to how one may give away items (newbie lvl though). and, there is no difference between giving away low lvl items to newbies or high lvl items to high level players.
some here say, that giving is something like cheating. well, they might be jealous? cause it took them x hours to obtain it? or they probably don't even have it yet? so what? I' ve been given a good few items (e.g. shissars knights sword
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=10182 or a massive dragon claw shard
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4931 - only realised few hours after what i've been given...) but I still love playing the game, "peridot"
there is nothing like a general rule, if giving away should be allowed or not. and to the people, who say that it destroys the balance:
1 - Did you ever get a buff which was too high lvl for you? HP buffs, thistle shields, manan/HP regeneration , i.e. Temp at lvl 20, KEI at lvl 25...etc.?
2 - Did you ever request the help of someone, to help you in certain circumstances (get a high lvl necro to summon corpse, ask a high level cleric to reanimate your corpse with 90% exp. restore) while being at least 15 to 20 lvls below that person?
3 - did you ever give away an item to a newbie?
If you can answer one Q with yes, than wasn't that cheating too?
oh yes, all three questions above would be a yes for me...
PS: its funny, when I try to cast center on a lvl 2 player in GF and the spell won't take hold, hehe.
PPS: I even prefer to group with an experienced (!) twink, knowing he lasts longer in battle...
