Hello to all. I'm the long-time friend of Necrosis. I've known him from when we first started playing the game and have considered him a close in-game friend. I had complete trust in him and let him borrow gil, Lu Shang's, etc. on many occassions and he never did anything to break that trust. Even though I've heard stories from others that question his character, I stood by him.
Two months ago, I made an agreement with him to level my NIN to 37. I paid him 5 million up front and would pay him the rest after completion. For the first couple of weeks, he hardly leveled the job. Instead, I would find him on my other mules crafting for his own profit. I wouldn't have a problem if he had asked me first, but he didnt and I was surprised that he was using my account for his own agenda. But, I let it go because while he was profiting from my fishing and leather crafts, he was skilling them up as well.
The main problem arose when I noticed my BST had lost some XP. I'm not sure how many times he's gotten my BST killed because I didn't keep track until I started noticing that it was taking long to get to level 74. After the first death, I mentioned it to him and he apologized. Occassionally, I would find him using BST to camp NMs or do other activities without my permission. He then died a second time on my BST and I told him to not play around with the job anymore. About 6 weeks into our NIN-leveling agreement, with NIN still at level 15 or so, he dies a third time. I was furious because I thought I made it clear to him. He then promised to never mess around with my BST again. He also joked that, if it wasn't for him, I would be level 75 by now.
Well, I honestly thought that would be the last time. I log in last week and find my BST down by 4k XP. At this point, I just had enough. His explanation for the death was outrageous. I asked him how in the hell he died when I had logged out in a non-aggro area. He responded by saying that he logged in with the character on autorun. I find it extremely disrespectful that he would test my competence with such a ridiculous explanation. I told him to forget about leveling my NIN, logged out, and changed my PW.
This is not about the amount of XP that I lost. It's that I had trust in Necrosis and he responded by taking advantage of that trust. I repeatedly gave him chances, yet he continued to belittle our friendship by ignoring my requests. And he did this after I confided in him about some trust issues in my RL. I cannot play this game anymore. It disgusts me to XP knowing that a friend can cause as much XP loss as the Elder Gobbue I'm fighting. Thanks kis for looking out as always. I had great times with you all (Ibot Debo Wataza Topler Ryan Bran Highweindht Kye Marx Pofna Rafcalz Tailss Longarm Primadoll Sam ..). keepyoureyeonthejudas. Take care, I'm out.

This is probably the most important post of the thread. How many of you actually read it? It looks like the vast majority of you completely ignored it, to pursue your own little thread-derailing side arguments.
Topic = Necrosis screwing over Sote, then actually posting a flame about getting called on it.
Since almost none of you have given any sign of having even seen this post, just please take a half-second to skim over these key points from Sote's side of the story, before you go back on your own little side-adventure:
1) It's my understanding that Necrosis lost far more than 4,000 experience on BST. Rather, he lost that much after already being told to not touch the job
two or three times.
2) Necrosis had difficulty finding the time to level the job past 15, per the agreement he made, but found plenty of time to instead use Sote's mules for their crafts, and using Sote's BST to camp NMs for hours on end ...
without asking first.
3) Necrosis actually made the ridiculous claim, by way of excuse for dying on BST for the umpteenth time, that he logged in with the character
already in autorun mode. That is beside the point, of course, that he had already been told more than once not to log into BST
at all.
Even with just Necrosis' own story to go off of, with Sote's side nowhere to be seen, I couldn't imagine how he could come out of this looking like the victimized party. I was beyond surprised to find the first few posts of this thread to be in
support of him. It was downright flabbergasting that Necrosis himself was the one to post a flame.
There's no question who was in the wrong, here. Necrosis received a large sum of money, much more than such a task was worth, to take the few days necessary to level a job to 37. Instead, he spent weeks devoting his time to exploiting every other aspect of that account for his own profit. He had already received more than enough payment, and yet instead of doing the work he had been contracted out to do, he only used the account to sweeten his deal. He took this so far, in fact, that he never actually got around to doing what he agreed to, and in fact left this person in a
worse position than they were in to begin with. He has no business acting affronted about being chewed out.
The flame should have been reversed. The fact that nothing surfaced from the other side indicates either a disinterest in the drama of QCDN, or perhaps indicates who has more class.
Sote didn't quit over a few thousand lost experience points. He quit out of
disgust over how his fellow players can behave.
