That totally makes sense.

I say if someone is actually dumb enough to be scammed with the alternative option of trade tables then just let them quit. Even with trade tables, the "safer alternative" to dropping, people still get scammed due to total stupidity. People just want dropping back because I find going to trade tables just to give my friend an item to be a real hassle. This is because trade tables are always packed with noobs trying to sell their silly items and the only way to really trade with your friend is to travel to the Tachi trade tables. Another reason is that people thoroughly enjoyed scamming. Even though it was frowned upon it was much more entertaining than other aspects like PKing.
