Well ladies and gentleman I am here today to rant or flame about a garrison party I had yesterday. I am no good at flaming or ranting so I will just try my hand at this.
:: clears his throat ::
Yesterday I was just getting back to sandoria from a long and unevantful day in quffim, when I noticed on the shout channel someone was putting together a Garrison party. So I thought well what the hay I havent fought anything since I logged on so why not. I /tell the pt leader who's name I will keep annon and asked about the requirments for this garrison quest and what needed to be done basically he told me to come on down to the out post and all i had to do was kill orcs and make sure the npc's survived and I would get some good gil, exp, and some items. Seemed easy enough for me at the time so i went to my moghouse and grabbed my lizard armor and hussled down to the out post. When I got there I was invited into the alliance of 3 parties there we waited for a half our for everyone to arrive and then the guy who was to activate the garrison quest handed over the red cryptex to the authorities and we were on our way...so we thought the pt leader accidently dropped and we were forced to wait until another member of the alliance got back from his moghouse with his cryptex which didnt work because he was not lvl 20 and from sandoria. So we slapped another 5 minutes onto the wait by everyone was spamming /random and wandering off. So by the time the 3rd person with the cryptex got back and we got the pt's back in order had waited an hour. Final we the leader of the alliance had said to everyone "DONT LOT ON THE ITEMS UNTIL THE WAVE IS FINISHED <call18653>" everyone seemed to understad the plan until it started. One orcish cursemaker down first drop was Mannequin legs! well someone lotted which sent everyone else into a lotting and arguing match the we decided to get focused again and re-established the understanding of "No Lotting". Once again someone kills a Chassure same drop.....take a guess what happens. By this time the pt leader is spamming " NO LOTTING <call77696>" and everyone is lotting like a mad man including myself because you dont just let someone get away with casting a lot on something. By this time an orcish fighter finished me off and I was fairly unhappy that i waited an hour just to die and go home empty handed no gil , exp, or items like i was promised and yet someone had the nerve to /tell me and call me a "F'ing lotting noob" because I had lotted like everyone else to try and even it out and try to make sure the first lotter didnt get it.
So in the end what I am trying to get at is Public Event Parties = no orginization and not worth it. do this quest with a linkshell and people you trust. Otherwise this quest is not worth it because its a bunch of money hungry players in a 40 foot area with the treasure list open and ready to lot. And no the garrison hose I am selling was not the result of me playing garrison someone had given them to me to sell so I could pay for my wedding to jender but the are not selling so they must not be worth it.
