Instead of creating a new thread I figured I'd just use this one... today I finished questing in Storm Peaks and saved up ~7k gold from the zone. I bought the mats to make 4 titansteel guardians, headed to org, and found a blacksmith - he made me one at a time and when we got to the last one, I handed him the mats and he took off (~1300g in mats).

I know I'll get the mats back and he'll get suspended/banned for it but its annoying because i wanted to equip all 4 and now i have to wait who knows how many hours/days for a GM to respond to my ticket.
