First off, when did I ever call myself a "saint" of any kind? Never once did I say anything of the sort(nor did anyone else for that matter). I did not "immediately" sell the kote, I actually waited a day to see if the seller would contact me, which she didn't. And when I saw that another pair had been purchased, frankly, I was confused but figured that it wasn't going to turn into a problem. I did not know she was on when I bought the kote, because honestly I was a little too excited to look who the seller was.
When you did contact me, you were at first polite, I never denied that. However, when you found that I would not ask my friend to return the kote... you began to swear at me(not a good solution btw). Once the kote were sold, they were not mine anymore, therefore I cannot do anything regarding them.
As for the whole friend-giving-away deal... I was originally going to give the kote to a good friend who is in need of them. However, he refused the kote because he knew that I needed the gil. Direwolf presented the solution where he would pay me a much discounted price(not even close to AH price) and the kote could be kept in the circle for use. So, in the end, my friend in need did get the kote.
You think I'm an asshole? Great. At this point I really don't care anymore. What's done has been done and continuing to argue about it will change nothing. FFXI will continue on, just as it did before. From what I've heard it seems Mystangel has gotten over this, so why can't you? Oh that's right... you want to stay up on your moral high horse and look down upon me, the lucky asshole. Just remember, there are lots of assholes in this game, but me... I'm one of a kind. :wink:
P.S. Note the extreme sarcasm. The correct formula is pointless flame+sleep deprivation=sarcasm.
