So this whm comes to me bitching about her Beadeaux coffer as usual, talking about quitting for WoW, so I decide to come out to where she is, invite her, and get a party going to get her coffer key just because I feel like it. Because I'm a nice fucking guy and I usually don't mind helping people get shit done as I know the majority of you are all selfish fucks and don't want to help unless somebody pays you.

Well, I head out there and tank the shit for her, we get her coffer key, a 300k gil item drops in the process. She gets it. After she has her coffer and everything I ask politely for at least a split on the item with gil as I was the entire reason this shit even happened, and I get shafted. She keeps saying "I need a vermillion cloak.." then after I just get sick of hearing the bullshit, I go off on her, and her story changes to "Maybe I was just kidding."

Yea, whatever, fuck you. Fuck everybody on this entire god damn game and their selfish ways. I'm tired of helping people and not even getting respect. "Oh, sorry Mithe, you took a shitload of time out of your day just to help me get something done because you're nice, and I'm not even going to split this awesome thing with you that dropped even though we wouldn't even be here and I wouldn't even have my fucking AF if it wasn't for you coming and helping me just because you're a nice person and didn't expect any reward anyway."

God fucking damnit.. THIS IS WHY I STAY POOR AS FUCK. I still need a hauberk, a nadziak, whatever. You name it, I need it. I don't have jackshit in this game worth anything still and I keep getting shafted some way or another. I can't even get fucking parties together for rare/ex equipment because nobody in the game just wants to help. I guess I'll just keep getting shafted and keep being poor as fuck. Whipee. I love this fucking game.
 
Mithe it may not mean much, but when I get to a level where I actaully can help you, please don't hesitate to ask. As for doucheMage, let it roll off your shoulders, and forget it. I know you've probably thought of all thest things...but try breathing and remembering that if you want something bad enough, you'll get it. ^^
 
What dropped off a coffer mob that was worth 300k? <_<
 
Water IV.
A big congrats to someone who not only got the only thing they came for, but our share of things as well. Go go cockbite go.
 
Man, sorry to hear this happen.
Getting a tell asking you to help someone with their AF is one thing.
Getting a tell about someone bitching to you about their AF and then you going through the trouble of organizing a party and getting them their key is another thing.

For either senario if an item like that were to drop I would split it only amonst the group and take nothing for myself. Reason being is I got my key and that was all I wanted. Now what this WHM that you helped did was pure-A fucking bullshit, but don't let it get to you much, there are people like tha out there.

If it means anything, thanks alot for helping me with all my AF when i was a lower level PLD and I guess i really haven't found a way to repay you for that yet, if you go for your Assault Jerkin again soon or need help with anything don't hesitate to ask.
 
I sympathize with your plight, but at the same time, it could have been avoided with a few ground rules.

When someone asks you for help like that, and you know there is the possibility of high-value items dropping during the key hunt, make sure you get them to concede non-key drops to you. If they refuse, don't help. Pretty much that simple.

And, knowing this is a simple what-if situation and all, there's no way of knowing what would happen - but what if the situation was reversed? You win the lot or whatever. Would you have, out of the 'goodness of your heart' or whatever, offered a split? Or would you have (since you've said you're poor) taken the gil from the drop all for yourself?
 
I've been in situations similar to this numerous times before, including getting amemet during skillups, random crap like that. Anybody can tell you that I would gladly split it.

Anyone with a heart would..
 
Conscience is something many people will be more than happy to leave at the door when you can be anonymous.

Sad but true....

I know when I got my Beaduex coffer, we had an alliance, I won 1st key, and got my coffer, then later I got Water IV, I told the BLMs to lot on it, and gave it to the winner. I think people who leave conscience at the door when anonymous are just pricks IRL that let themselfs go in game...

Thankfully, not everybody.
 
That's really shitty and low...if you were helping me get a coffer/key/item/etc I would of let you have the whole Water IV....not even take the split!

I was kinda hoping a light Spirit would drop for Villarel and them when we went for a carby mitten run so they could sell it...it didn't and I was mad :?
 
I've been dicked out on alot of things like this, Not as bad as Mithe's case though. This game only produces greed and this is a clear example of it. You gotta keep on keeping on Mithe, everydog has his day, and on yours, remember to cock slap all those who have fucked with you.
 
This one time I was in an xp party and this guy lotted on a fire crystal and everyone was all over him about lotting and he almost got kicked XD

I was like WTF dude.
 
Very sorry someone would just take the scroll like that, stuff like that happens alot, so glad the things I normally help out with don't drop expensive stuff because I'd bet things like this would happen :roll:

I don't know you. You don't know me, but like Devi said, when I get around the level where you or anyone else needs help I'm always willing. I'm a sucker for {Thank you}'s :roll:
 
In that situation, I would definitely offer half to my helper. I mean, these people aren't your damn slave.

In regards to the "I will help you , but I get everything that isn't a key" Even though it may be an effective manner, I think this kind of message would make Mithe look like the selfish person they want to avoid being. This has happened to me a couple of time, and I don't mind giving up whatever for the help. However, if I present this onto other people, they're quite rude about it thinking I'm some kind of gil-digging taru whore.

Bottom line is, if you're nice, and decent, you'd offer half the item, if not the whole thing to your helper. The "I want the original item.... ooo... I like that item too, gimme gimme gimme" attitude doesn't sit well with me. The person is already helping you in the first place. Just leave them in the pit of one of the zones and let them ghetto warp out..lol
 
Well, originally, I wasn't going to include a name just because I'm not here to ruin anybody's name, but I went and got some background information on this person and apparently she's been a fuckwad like this before, and uses people for free help and tries to leech off shit 24/7. I looked to see what she was doing later and she's going about like nothing ever happened, the little cunt.

So, she's Atrbiohazard. Fuck her. If you want somebody to pin all this shit on, that's who took it all for herself and screwed all of us. She's a selfish piece of shit.
