So, I know a few things:
- This post is far too emotional and partially created without thought.
- This might possibly not be new.
- This might possibly not be a good idea to ask on public forums.
- This is a good way to cause panics.
Even though, just to figure out a few things, that actually DO scare me:
How the heck did somebody manage to steal No Copy items directly out of my hands today? This is something I have never even heard before. Of course, I heard about Copybot and all those other pesky little buggers of tools you can use, but.
Well, let me just tell you the story.
Friend and I went to a huge shop to check out some new stuff they had. Played around for a while, until some random girl avatar walks up to us, insulting us out of the blue. Really, that of course makes you shrug first off. She popped in and out a few times, telling us to wait. Really, sometimes it's a good idea to take your own advice and just leave when somebody annoys you. Of course we didn't. Wanted to play a bit with somebody who seemed like a random jerk.
When she came around the last time, she had a few of the things attached we had on. Not so much a big surprise, figured she was completely insane and went get the items herself. Anyway though, there was one custom made item nobody except for my friend had in there, AND my shoes in the exact same configuration as I had.
Granted, sounds like a simple copybot style tool. But, when we went home and checked, we first got problems attaching items when we tried to detach/reattach things from out inventory that we had on earlier, although it only affected prim items.
Then the scary part began: The few No Copy items we had on our bodies just... Disappeared. They were gone, didn't come back after clearing cache (and actually disappeared only after that completely after being "not able to rez").
So, there's my question: Is this just a very, very strange thing happening to the two of us, is this a known issue, does anybody know how this works or why in god's name I never heard of it before? It's not like it's just a copybot, it fucking STOLE the items, which I deemed impossible up till today.
I'm not a freebie place, dammit. Get off my items.
