Slight venting of frustration

[TaiDaishar]

Best is to mule with a trustworthy friend, that's for granted (high value stuff will go into the friend's inventory).

If there's no friend available I prefer to ENTER a game that has been for (at least) 5 minutes with a high/low level players so I could mule in it without their knowledge even (I prefer getting my mules to act 2 at least and mule behind the palace, hardly anyone ever look there) and if I get a realm down there is a bigger chance of the players still playing in the game (notice, you shouldn't mule in a game with above 4-5 players) thus still saving your precious items where you dropped them.

Note: none of the characters should be in the act you're muling in or the game name is connected to the act you're muling in (even if all the characters currently at the game are not in that act anymore).

Edit: oh and I lost Silks of the Victor and tearhaunch around 1.05 in diablo 2 classic where these were pretty much the most uber (unique) items to be found due to character item popping (stupid diablo)
