First of all, thanks to all of you who have replied... even though you've confirmed my very worse fears. I should have figured out when that lil' ba... didn't show "any special interest" in trading none of my best gear for his newly found Gotter (he had all my gear at his reach anyway...) or when that other warrior "paused very frequently" in the dungeons, to not say or do "anything special". I wonder where my warrior's best gear may be by now, but in the other hand, it wasn't KSoHs or AFPMs, so I soppose that it'll be discarded ultimately, as these people's "race of weapons" progreses on. Also, as good veteran players know, I'll find equal or better equipment the sooner or the later, so I suppose there's no need to worry much about it, but still find this behaviour some... irritating? intrusive?. One MORE argument against the use scanners, I suppose, as they use the same techniques to spy in your inventory that the trainers do, but well... maybe I'm going a little out of the topic, and this has been argued a lot here at the lounge...
Pete has sugested playing with trusted friends or naked, so I suppose I'll have to take his advice and play SOLO or learn to play naked. I mean: after some scanning players here and there I learned that one of the reasons why you won't need a scanner here in Europe is that 99% of the players (I was to put 100%... hehe) are cheating you. You'd be surprised at how easy is for your most trusted (legit?) friends to find Obs/Zods, KSoHs or AFPMs (Griswold's Edge is also frequent). If I had ever created a "common dupes" list for that time I used the scanner, I wonder how many "100% legit" players in here would have come out using exactly the SAME equipment. It's just sad. I wonder if these people will ever notice that they're not playing at all (or learning to play better), being so "invincible" thanks to their duped equipment.
Well, at least, something positive has come out of this: I know now what's going out there, and I've found a place where people don't avoid straight answers...

Es fácil descender al infierno. De dÃa o de noche, las puertas de la Muerte están abiertas de par en par; pero retornar, volver sobre tus pasos para llegar a la superficie... He aquà el auténtico desafÃo.
