Are you a whm thinking about joining BoL?

[Bustaballs]

My friend Ciscute asks me to join BoL. Once I hit lv68 I ask to join. I get a pearl and ask for over a week for help with ZM6-12.. no one helps.. I wound up paying someone like 300k to help. I get that done and join BoL in sky. I have fun at first. I'm at every event almost for around 2 months and for a few events when I could afterwords cause I had a newborn baby.

After waiting behind 2 other whm and awaiting it forever I finally recieve my nobles tunic.. it was on my wishlist as well but the rules state:

Section 4: Linkshell Bank and Wish List
4.0.1 The LS Bank will be responsible for lotting and selling all money drops during sky events. With the exception of Shining Cloth which may be given to a WHM who has been approved for their Nobles Tunic.


anyways I'm gone for a month or so because of real life stuff and when I log on...






BoL never helped me with anything I wanted. I never got a thank you or anything for anything. I never got a complement ever. What I did get was constant bitching about every little thing. If someone dies the whm get blamed. If I didn't show up to one little event I get blamed and/or punished. That tunic was the only non ex item I ever got from BoL and according to the rules it is mine. It was on my wishlist and that rule up there states nothing about it being property of the LS.

BoL stole a very important item from me that I earned and then they kick me out.... hmmm

Goodbye BoL... and most likely FFXI

Maybe you should have given the LS back their tunic before not logging on for a month if you knew youd have to take time out for your baby?

 

[Mokk]

Tre lame.

 

[Stirce]

This is sad... nice to see what we got to look forward to when we get near 75. Im not shocked tho ive always heard bat things about BoL this just goes to show they are a bunch of no good theifs..

give them back MY tunic? no thanks.. besides I didnt know that was was going to happen would happen.. major relotionships problems and such... oh well

16~20 mil of mine they stole

 

[decidence]

So you want a 10mil+ item for basically showing up for a month of events, then leaving and being in social LS's instead of ours during events, and then dissapearing even further from the game altogether. You know some WHM's in the LS waited 3-4 months before they earned their Nobles? We made the mistake of giving it to you before you were proven as a consistent member...

Real life or not folks, end game is end game, its for hardcore players not for people with busy real lives that can't be playing and coming to events on a weekly basis. Don't get involved in an end game LS if you cannot dedicate yourself to major events every week.

So yea, if your a WHM and can't come to events on a weekly basis, we don't want you. And furthermore if your a WHM that is only in end game to get a Nobles and don't care about anything else or furthering the LS as a group we don't want that either.

 

[Mokk]

God forbid real life intrude on FFXI LS events >.>

Get out now while you still can, i had a kid last year, it's just not worth it compared to goofing off with a rugrat. Just my personal opinion, it's not a bash on the game perse.

In all honesty that seems like it was given to him not lent. not barrowed. IF someone gives me an Item and they dont say it only for a short time or im just letting you barrow it then that means it for me to keep. Seems the were just being Aholes and stole a tunic from him. Now when they frist found out he was going away which he said he posted it, they should of asked for it then and gave it back when he came back. You should not punish someone for having to deal with Real life.

So lets say your kid gets hit by a car, but you have a LS event? shit where should you be with your kid or should you be there for the LS.... hmmmm

 

[Mokk]

I like watch and all ... and alot of the older BoL members from back in the day and whatnot ... but i'dve told you guys to go fuck yourselves deci.

No one's kid got hit by a car...

I was trying to make a point.. that went over your head

 

[Mirewen]

Maybe have a limit of time in LS before giving someone a Tunic to begin with? Just so you don't have to ask for one back if they stop coming to events. . .

I never spent more than 10 minutes at a time in another LS. 99.9% of the time I was on was spent in BoL. Whatever mistake you think you made is bullshit.. I made constant posts about my activity in BoL and all I got was bitched at. I liked BoL until this happened.. I put everything aside with no grudges and never got into arguments with anyone... but now...

WTS said himself 2 months and then when I told him I was there 2 month he changes his mind???? I saw WTS at about 1/10 of events.. he shouldn't ever talk about being active in the LS. He was leveling Nin half the time there were LS events.

Thats what we have started doing.

We have given out several nobles to date, in order from oldest to most recent:

Acavar - Quit the Game... Nobles gone
Kabrina - Joined OH about a month after recieving
Pheona - Still Active
Legolasofelfwoo - Still Active
Penut - Teamed up with gilsellers against our rules and got kicked, sold Nobles
Istar - Went inactive after getting Nobles hasn't been seen in game since (2months)
Bustaballs - Went inactive after getting Nobles and hasn't been seen at an event since.
Kilan - Went inactive after getting Nobles when XBox 360 game out and hasn't been seen since.


So... the last 4 Nobles we have given out have been a complete waste, and we are not justified to be a little ticked off that lately our WHM's are just taking complete advantage of the LS.

No other member get Non Rare/Ex items except for Osode and everyone of our Osode's are still Active IN the LS except for Touge.

Coincidence? You all say you have lost faith or w/e about BoL... I have lost faith in the WHM Population.

 

[Bustaballs]

I made constant posts about my activity and what's going on in my life, etc,etc.. even though the tunic is MINE I tried to be nice and negotiate but nothing is ever good enough for the uber BoL. I got a little upset and STILL GAVE IN cause I dont like to upset people and I just didnt want to deal with any BS and I give it back and agree to show up for kirin to get it back and then when I give it back I get kicked...

 

[decidence]

Maybe I don't agree with being tricked into doing something, but would you have given it back if you were told you were being kicked for inactivity?

I figure it's got more to do with every endgame linkshell expecting people to crawl as far up the LSs ass as possible to get to experience the endgame everyone's entitled to but hey that's just me. Afterall god forbid a bunch of likeminded courteous people who behave as friends online band together to get something done to the benefit of only a few of them simply to show unity. But no: RULES RULES RULES, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, AND FUCK YOU IF YOU CAN'T LIVE AT YOUR DESK.

While it could simply be your right, alot of people find it discouraging that they can bust ass for quite some time and still get dick for it. It's not simply a BoL trend, nor has it been for quite some time.

End Game = teh bullshit = As Vanadiel turns.

No wonder so many people could give a shit about god fights anymore.

You're only leet if you're having a good time.

When ESP was around we seemed to have the same problem with WHMs, luckily our main base of awesome WHMs still showed up.
