Whoa... where did all our BoE epics go?

An extremely nasty bug related to Guild Banks surfaced yesterday at WoW Insider: It seems that new invites to your World of Warcraft guild retain their guild bank privileges from their previous guild. Some officers of guilds have been using this nasty little issue to get invited to new guilds and clean out their guild bank before deleting or transferring their character.

Currently, withdrawal limits are not reset when a character joins a new guild. Whatever a character's old guild status was carries over. In this way, officers are leaving guilds, joining new ones, and gaining officer access to the new guild's bank tabs. After withdrawing most of the loot, the character transfers servers or mails off the loot and deletes his toon. The guild logs report "Unknown" as the culprit.
