CharybdisFollow

The last few days My linkshell and I have been camping Charybdis to get some Joytoy's for our loyal members, within the 3 days we only laid claim 3 times, and got the drop 2 of the three due to a untimely pull which resulted in a wipe for our 3 member party. We were camping Charybdis last night with the ToD without any competition, and we felt the need to possibly get a new tank as our previous THF had bailed, so my GF asked an old LS friend named Bigstank to do the honors; He showed up 1 hr into the window, we had since then asked my brother(73NIN) to attempt to tank it for us and we had two WHM to back us up (WHM WHM RDM BRD NIN). About 3 hours into Charybdis' window, he popped, we started to slowly kill him. It was late in the night, and the last sword we needed, most of us had work and needed sleep; So needless to say we weren't prepared for what followed.

Charybdis was about 20% til death when my girlfriend remarked "Oh look, Bigstanks LS(Facade) came to watch." At that point in time I thought it a little odd that 3 people would come to watch an NM die and just to get the ToD; Already one member had shown up (Aviax) apparently for the ToD, or so we assumed, so this behavior seemed a little odd, when it suddenly dawned on me that something was a little too fishy, and that Bigstank; should he feel the want, could steal hate, disband and then reform with his LS's Party. And that is how it happened, Bigstank did exactly that and so 5 members of the Facade LS stole our Charybdis. They proceeded to kill it even though Bigstank died 2 or 3 times (much to our delight).

When we told them how we thought that it was pretty low we received remarks back from Ezues saying "You guys are the losers, this is just a game, get over it."

Now I can't argue that this isn't a game, it is. But people are putting their time and effort into it, sometimes staying into the late hours for a NM or to help their LS with things, it's highly stressful and a highly time consuming game, when I put 72 hours into an NM camp and you steal it and expect me to "get over it because it's a game" it's a little much; I didn't show up and 5 min later kill an NM, I am sure that took a lot of effort so it's very easy to tell me to get over it.

The tactics displayed by the Facade LS (Members: Bigstank, Aviax, Ezues, Hrdcormofo, and Pimpinous) are no different in my eyes than tactics displayed by gilsellers and mpkers. I've heard many complaints about the LS in general about them being ********* and whatnot, and I never try to judge by a few rumors, but this post and rant was just to let you fine Cerberus players to watch out and I hope this doesn't happen to you.

Wow, this is the kind of thing I saw and had to hear about that ultimately led me to leave ffxi for good. It's disgusting that people can treat other people with such behavior and it is the principle of the matter. Yes, it is a game, but being an ******* for any reason is unacceptable. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotches of each person responsible for this act.

Actually it was me that said you should rot in hell, and that was after you said something along the lines of us looking dumb.
Don't get me wrong, I feel dumb, for spending all that time trying to get a drop for someone and then having it stolen by a bunch of idiots.

And Stank is not the man, he was a pretty cool dude when I knew him back in the UWSELS. But things change.

All of you just need to get over it its video game gear. If your life is honestly that dull that you need to cry over game gear which does NOTHING for you in rl then you need to get a life. Say what you will it doesnt matter you are ******** on a forum people will forget **** happened and it will all be in the past. Stop crying and ******* get over it.

The point isn't that it's just a game because we are all well aware, but as Kyuu pointed out, even though it's a game, it takes real time to play and a lot of real time was spent planning something and 5 minutes it was taken away.

I'm not upset about the game, I'm not upset that you guys took something in-game away from us, I'm upset that I camped an NM for MY linkshell members for a lot of real time and it was taken away by YOUR linkshell members in mere minutes.

Your joytoy is undeserved, if it's so insignificant of an item you could've waited till the next window to get it. It obviously mattered enough to you for you to not only make enemies, but cheat your way to it.

So the whole point of this post is not to complain that we lost game gear, because it's not the first time we've lost the claim. But that it was rightfully ours, and our time was wasted because you thought you deserved it more for whatever reason.

And no, Stank, I don't want your help. 3/4 people got their joytoys this week, and the one person who didn't is probably the one who deserved it most. He'll get it, it's just really crappy that we had to go through your BS first.

I'm sorry I invited you to help, my own bad judgment, but hey it's not the first time. I'm more sorry to find that the things I've heard about the people in your LS are so true, maybe that's why I keep getting requests for pearls for mine from your former members for reasons like 'I'm just so sick of everyone in Facade being such a-holes'

I guess a linkshell can change a player, and it's a shame because the linkshell I met you in doesn't deserve to have their name tainted by your bad rep. Obviously you didn't follow their lead, pity.

If it's "just a game" to you guys then why would you bother to steal an NM, obviously it matters to you guys if your not going to take the time to respect the time someone had put into it. The fact of the matter is, it is a game ruining other peoples playing experience is childish. You could have easily gotten the ToD and came back the next day, but instead you feel the need to hurt another players gaming experience. If in your eyes another persons time is less important than your Joyeuse, you really should look at how you think about other people, instead of acting like little kids.

If you need help with it in the future just look me up, I've straight-tanked him on PLD/WAR and PLD/NIN, and I've kited him, be glad to help.
(If nothing else I Cure and Flash, so if the tank goes down I can tank or kite till they're back up)

I got one, and you can ask around, I'm not gonna ***** anyone.

Not gonna get involved in the drama.

If you need a hand with Chary, send me a tell in game. I have no use for the sword, just like helping others. Furionstormrage has a joytoy, and is a hell of a tank. One of the most stand up players I've met in the game.

Yeah, I have to back up Vhailor on this one.

There's no need to be an ***, you're only making yourself look bad. Linkshell-versus-linkshell malice has to be the most baseless kind. You have a virtual jumble of bytes with a name attached to it. It's not like you're defending your sister's honor against a horde of rednecks. <.<;

Remember, kids: Talking **** on teh intrwebz is like being in the Special Olympics; no matter if you win or not, you're still retarded.
