Right. And inheritance should just be buried with people when they die instead of being passed on. Lets get back the the time of Pharaohs.

If you are gifted something by a player then you must of done something to earn it. Whether it was helping them in game, being a friend, loaning them stuff before, whatever. My $ and items are mine, and if I want to pass them on then that should be my option. No one should be able to tell me what I can't do with my $ or items.

This is the big deal. Way back in the early history the game, there was a player named Casanova who wanted to give his entire (substantial) fortune to another player. Many others felt that this was giving said player an unfair advantage. While there are key differences between this and that situation, the question is whether going into an extended period of inactivity should be treated as quitting.
