Being a goblin is hard. (Yes it has to do with Black Mage) Follow

#1 Jun 30 2010 at 12:18 AM Rating: Excellent
Well I was soloing on my BLM today, when I took a second to think while resting.
I thought of that poor Goblin, who's little pet bee I kept killing. It's not that I just killed it, it's that I slammed it close to death with a rock, shocked it closer to death, then drowned it with the fury of water.
I couldn't help but think how that poor goblin pathfinder felt about all this.
Imagine your wife left you, you were $10,000 in debt, you were living in a crap apartment in the slums of city, with only your pet bee to keep you company.
Your pet bee is like the child you never had with that cheating whore. He meant the world to you. So your taking your bee for a walk, you stop at a crosswalk, your little bee behind you out of site. Then you turn around to find your pet bee gone. Vanished. Your wrecked, you have nothing to live for anymore. It starts raining, you start to head home.

And yes, I almost cried while writing this.

I was attacked by a bee once then he left and brought his bee friend back for more. Naturally I have no sympathy for bees real or pixels.

I actually felt quite sad for those Gigas beastmasters that happened to live in the past. After killing something that felt like a million of their pet tigers I began to wonder if I was doing the right thing...

When i told my 8 year old syster that i was killing a goblin pet i got lectured on it...

She was really mad that i was killing someone's pet. Even if it was on a video game.

More like he's thinking of levelling another job than BST because bee jugs only last a few minutes and he uses up 50 stacks a day.

This goes for all the pets, because I had a pillow that looked just like those leeches.

I bet that Gigas in Vunkurl Inlet [S] finally leveled cooking after spending so much money on jugs.

I've thought about this more than once, but then I think, "well I'm paying that goblin $12.95/month to summon those pets, he better be happy to have a job."

But how is this any different then roving magian death squads? Especially the ones clubbing baby apkallu.

That $12.95 is split between 4,000 or so monsters though _(._.)_ and I doubt that gobbie has a high wage either.

Assuming even 8000 people on shiva, one character per person, and 4000 monsters. Each monster is then making $25.9/month. That is nearly enough to at least buy 500k from gilsellers. Assuming the salary for mobs scales linearly with the level of the mob, those gigas are pretty well off and same w/ the goblins. Enough to pay for their jugs at the very least.
