I know also its unlike me to have a post without curses and insults, so let me just add that every single fucking retard on the site is coming out of the woodwork for this thread. The last time I saw this many people that bring nothing to the table I watching the NY Islanders.

 

[Yurirem]

Wait, you seriously just accused Mdk of buying gil?

lol... That's all I can say. You DO know that

1) we've made 84.500.000 gil selling Salvage items
2) he have several crafts at 100

right?

Having several 100 crafts, now I know he's a superhero.

All drama and FFXI cockery aside, I laughed pretty hard at that. Well played sir.

Which is why you shouldn't have created a thread for the main purpose of advertising the fact you sold gil. Like I said before, it was essentially an FU to the majority of the players (and former players) on this board. You had to have known that when you posted it.

If you did not want to have to defend your personal conduct to the board, you should not have blatantly posted it. You were going for a reaction, don't complain when you get one.

Agreeing with Kerow and Audino - I'm disappointed

This.

Is a bunch of BAWWWing shit.

Stop nerd raging Brahs.

No, not really. Are you drunk and posting stupid shit again? Hope you didn't take any vikes this time if you were.

I'm out of painkillers, thanks for the concern. But no, I'm not drunk. I have class tomorrow. I personally just think you and MANY others take FFXI way too seriously.

But hey, it's all about nerd raging amirite brah?

It's not that we take the game seriously - we just know those are real people on the other end and treat them as such...don't see what's so 'nerd raging' about that...

The many was just him and Jamal.

Not sure what to think about this topic. Ethically, it's not right, nor is it moral, but these are the morals instilled upon us by society, so to say "it's not right" is to pass a judgment call based on what we feel is right and wrong. Personally, I feel he was wrong in his actions, but that again is how I perceive the event and not everyone feels as such. Not that it makes much difference at this point, but squabbling over why we feel someone's opinion is right or wrong shows more about those squabbling than those who committed the foul.

I'm not going to make my opinion on the off-topic feud, but something I did notice during it all: there were a couple RL name-drops, so unless that rule changed, what's up with that?

 

[Audino]

I see a lot of people here disagreeing with what happened as being "ok." Its not nerd raging, I don't see any nerd raging in my post and I fail to see what this has to do with Jamal. If I took the game too seriously, I would probably do something like lie about my crafting level, hurr.

But ok, we get it. BAW and Nerd Rage are really cool words. We'll just start using them about everything. Your posts are always full of insight. You are a very valuable member to this community. Thank God we have you. Maybe I take the game more serious since I actually still play it. Either way, we're both taking time to post on a message board about it, so its a pretty fucking stupid point to say "You take it too seriously."

Yep, definitely standing by this now. At least other people that are trying to justify the actions like Sneaky and a few others can say shit that actually has some insight and intelligence instead of just taking one liner jabs and using neat internet words.

 

[Rappa]

Rappa, holy fuck bro, just shut the fuck up. FFXI isn't a second job for income, its a fucking game, like a fucking hobby. Get a grip with your life, there's more important shit than this game. Biggest fucking joke in this thread.

Thanks for this input that I could've gotten at any kindergarten recess. Does your mommy know that you use dirty words? All those second grade girls must be swooning for you, you superstar. Seriously, if you want to talk about jokes, how about those epic 40k/hr xp pts of yours? lol, what a tool.

 

[Arros]

Redshift has a point.

IT'S JUST A GAME BRO.

HOW CAN A GAME BE YOUR LIFE BRO.

:down:

So, if you were going to quit and your character regardless of what linkshell you were in and could be useful to it had huge value, you wouldn't sell it? That's a bit hard to believe for anyone, it's one thing to say you hate rmt and those who support it, but it's another to be in that circumstance and say who really gives a damn? It's a game, now it's time to reep the benefits of the time I lost.

You didn't do anything wrong in my book sano, you didn't lie about what you did, and you aren't denying anything. You were a cool dude, take care~

 

[Tim Wakefield]

But ok, we get it. BAW and Nerd Rage are really cool words.

Don't forget "butthurt" and "asshat", two words that were once funny, and now make me want to stab children in the face.

On-Topic: Don't care. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

This is a good post to quote, and I hope it can emphasize my opinion best.

I think he did do something wrong, if only in morality's case. No one likes to see people selling gil, or RMT in general.

The issue lies in that the situation is a very hard one to ignore, or even more so, look the other way. It's either very close to, or a majority of posters in here that have either said they would out right do the same thing he did or have a hard time choosing, I'm one of those people for sure.

In the end, I probably wouldn't do it, if for no reason other than I would just feel a bit dirty in the end for it all. Would I have a hell of a time getting over the fact that I threw away that kind of money? Hell yeah, you bet I would. It would probably bother me either way.

I'm rambling a bit here, but my point is that while he did do something wrong, I think that bashing him hardcore on it (I don't think that very many if anyone in here has done that honestly) is a bad approach, as I believe it would be a very hard choice for just about anyone in here to make.

I've been trying to figure out what I wanted to say on this for a while, I think that got it out. Feel free to critique, no one liners here.

 

[Airou]

He was an RMT, and now hes gone. Thats one less person adding to the RMT cause. Glad theres one less RMT out there, theres not much else to say. He wont be affecting the game any longer.

 

[Daveman]

Everyone has their price, I'm sure most of you have heard this joke

Guy: Would you sleep with me for a billion dollars?
Girl: hell yeah!
Guy: what about ten bucks?
Girl: What kind of girl do you think I am?
Guy: We've already established that, now we're just debating on the price

The only thing that kept me from selling my account was that I estimated I could get like $1k or so for everything. (though by looking at sano's screenshots I think I underestimated how much I could've gotten lol) Which wasn't a staggering enough account to sell something I had tons of emotional attatchment to. Though it sure was close.
