Very true. Many people learn this from having some bad experience. It's better to learn that lesson in a game than when someone asks to borrow the key to your house.

No matter how many times they are warned, most people are surprised (and have no backups) the first time they lose files to a virus or hardware failure. Some people die without a legal will to declare their heirs. We are each naïve in some way.

As an IT professional I consider sharing an account to a computer system like sharing your underwear. It's something so intimate you wouldn't even do it with someone you DO trust.

To those of you wishing to simply have access to shared items, which many older players do, simply create a shared account and put the things into it that you can afford to lose. You can then share that account with another. Be forewarned though that losing items is not the only concern you may have.
I once had access to a shared account and was left as the sole owner as other players left the game. What I ended up with was an account that I signed into to keep active, but hardly ever used. I didn't keep track of what they and I added to the account. The best purpose of having something like this is in gaining trust. I have learnt that not everyone is untrustworthy when anonymous, as I once thought. It has helped me in my personal life as well. When the day comes that I do trust the wrong people, I will still remember how long it actually took for a mishap to occur and consider it a positive lesson in cautiousness. Always test a player before giving this information... "lend" them something at a time when you ARE NOT getting along before giving information like this. It is best to test one character at their least admirable state.
Becoming a sole inheritor of an account like this can be a burden, much like an inherited estate can be. I don't suggest it, but it can be eye opening in a positive sense as well.
