Take a breath, get a drink, this is a long story (and it reads better drunk I'm sure).
A normal night, goin out to do the Quadav part of G3. Im about 1/2 way to the Qulum Dome (sp) when I get the tell, "Our whm is dead... come to <pos> and raise please." This guy sounds really nice and I'm in a good mood so I agree. I run over, get into their party and raise em. He offers me a reward but I turn it down saying I don't mind at all cause I'm not like those people that are sensitive about giving Raises, teles, sneaks, or w/e....
It is then that I find out they're coffer key hunting for Afterhours WHM AF, so I'm like ok, gl, I'll be on my way. They suggest I stay in the party, in case I need a raise 2. I figure it can't hurt. R2? Why the hell not. I continue on, leaving them behind but remaining in the party so if I died they could find me.
To get around had to use Echo Drops because of the "Mute" machines in order to get past the Afflictors un-cursed. However when I'm literaly 20s away from the zone I need i start to notice their hp is going down... Abbaddon or w/e starts yellin in caps stuff like "Come back we're gonna die I pulled a link by mistake". I'll give em credit, it's damn hard to pull in there with the sound aggro mobs all over the place.
Anyway, I run all the way back to them, using the last of my echo drops... meaning I can no longer do the quest alone w/o getting cursed, and having no knowledge of what was ahead I didn't feel this was a good idea. When i return we take care of the two quadavs that they were fighting and rest up. We all decide that sure, i could stay and help em get it and all they would do afterwards is get me over to the zone. I figured it wouldn't be too long... I was wrong.
Took somewhere along the lines of 2-4hours, I'm not too sure except that it was a long time and I logged off at around 2am (right after we finished), and I started around 11pm(goind straight to work on my crest). Pretty fustrating but I didn't really care because, hey, they were gonna help me get my crest. About 30mins before we got the drop a ls member of their worked his way down to us to help out. He was actually killing with us for probably around 15mins.
After we got the key, they completely ignored me. They left me behind and went for the coffer, which completely left me fucked. After asking them wtf they were doing they suddenly "remembered" where they had promised to take me.. Granted they didn't help me get there at all (they just sat there and waited then left asap).
They leave looking for the key, bitching about people camping the coffer etc... so i go through the zone and on the way my noob self gets aggroed by the Ruby Quadav because of this "True sight" crap. So that R2 they were talking about? I never got it... instead the ls member that was there for 15mins, that promised me NOTHING came out and R1'd me. The xp loss doesn't bother me, I enjoy leveling.. But the fact that i helped them for so god damn long and then they don't even live up to an original promise pissed me off.
All in all, it was a wasted night, I should have let them die. What really pissed me off was that at the end of it all, they didn't even thank me. Hey, maybe I'm old fashioned or I just like to be recognized for what I've done but thats aggrivating. I've seen people bitch about not getting thanked for teles or raises... If no one thanks me for that, I just don't do it anymore. But this took hours of my time, not seconds to rest back up.
As most posts are, this one was written at late night, doesn't give me an excuse for spelling and BS, but thats the story and its been pissing me off what a douche those two were to me that night. They may be very nice people... and they seemed like it in the party, but from what i got out of that experience.. Fuck em.

P.S The guy that came to raise me was cool the whole time ^^.
