The chest at the gladiator guild have, over the years, turned so many people bitter, it's quite the running joke, even if it's so tragic.
The Gladiator guild have had problems with chest(/rack)-looters ever since they were put in the game.
Time and time again have new players joined the Gladiators and tried to store gear in the chest, only to have it looted and sold, which in turn pisses them off. They then put up notes on their guildboard proclaiming all chest-looters will be killed blablablah.
Eventually though, the chest have prevailed and people have left the guild in disgust, or the few have wized up and kept a private stash in some out-of-the-way location in Kabal...Atleast until they could join another guild and escape from the Gladiators.
I wish I had a platinum coin for each note about chest-looters on the Gladiator board - I would be the most wealthy player in the game.
It's really silly that the wizards thoughout the years have refused to fix this problem, that have pissed off so many players over the years. Especially since it's _CERTAINLY_ not just the Gladiators that have, and have had, the problem.
These days though, hopefully guildmasters will wisen up and provide decent, working racks for everyone. Especially since the more players we have, the more people will be pissed off by chest looters.
And the ones that are hurt the most by this perpetual problem is the most smallest, inexperienced & casual players that rely on having equipment be available when they log in. Be it equipment that they gathered themselves or equipment someone else choose to share with their guildmates.
The influx of new players from the promotion campaign are exactly the ones that are hurt the most by all of this.
