Anyone who knows me knows I work my hardest to earn my gear and help LSes and that honor is one of the most precious things to me...I've had people loan me Osodes, several million gil, both of which I gave back as soon as I was...I don't know the word...I payed back gil as soon as I could, many people can vouch for this, and I gave back the Osode as soon as the person who lent it back...
I have a bad temper, and I do take things personally quickly, but something like this would especially get to me...I utterly despise thieves, and I believe entirely in earning crap. I know how hard it is to earn crap in this dumb game...the forum knows, I mean I bitched incessantly about Biast and it's ridiculous droprate. That being said, I am completely hurt that ANYONE would think I'd purposely steal from someone, let alone plot to do it over a course of several months like he says I did. If I'd been making some multi-month "scheme" to rob him blind, why would I give the stuff back to him? Why would I have only taken a few items and not everything worth anything? Doesn't that just seem a LITTLE off?
The worst part of this is the fact that people somehow think I actually planned to do this. I can't believe I give off that kindof impression.
Because "sorry" isn't a magical, all-healing word. I said I was sorry, and I continue to be sorry. It was a very stupid thing I've held against myself to this day, and not just because of some forum topic about it.
