I been in this linkshell for a long time, only god knows how long. I get mad at people occasionally, but these guys are like my family. They ARE my in-game family. I have a few things to say:
1: Just because people get lazy typing does not mean we are illiterate. There are some very smart people in our linkshell, but it is a game, short-hand will be used. "lol" "omg" "wtf" tell me you haven't used those, that is not correct english, but it is accepted. If people misspell words, give them a break. They are obviously trying to convey a point and are not thinking about grammatical errors.
2: Correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought a gilseller's whole point of getting gil was to sell it. A lot of gilsellers I have seen do not have extraordinary armor. I mean come on, if we were gilsellers we WOULD be at HNMs most the time (which we hardly, if ever do), and you would see our names under high priced items. It would not just be the Jin's name, but others as well. I think it takes more than 2-4 characters for a gilseller's linkshell to work. My armor is adequate, it's not super great, but it isn't gimp either. RMT, gilsellers, etc. the thought of me being one is unfathomable.
3: Money and Items. Need I say anymore? That's all people want. I was in Jeuno the other night, and I shouted, "Help me with an NM, 100k+ reward." I got at least 15 "/tell"s. What relevancy does this have? People will do a lot of things for money. When I first joined this linkshell, I thought Jinshorty was so cool for letting a level 67 RDM and my girlfriend, Seikatsu, 67 WHM into their God linkshell. When I first joined one of the first things I was told, "This is a linkshell to get God items, hence the name, GodBlessyou" (as we were formally called). And I had my RDM pimped out because of my god armor and other things given to me. I always wanted to get Seikatsu a Noble's Tunic, but I didn't have 10M- 20M (inflation) to give to her. With the linkshell, we got her, her tunic. It made me happy. It's crazy to think of someone talking about my family members in such a manner, the pure audacity of some people.
4: As for items, I have argued with Boondock, Jinshorty, etc. numerous times. If anyone knows me/dislikes me, at least you know one thing, I speak my mind. If I see someone getting mistreated or not getting fair treatment, I am the first to confront somebody. Sure, I make mistakes too. I've wanted items that they said people deserved more than me, and I didn't agree. You know what makes you feel better? When you prove to everyone, the leaders and your linkshell members that you deserve an item. You be a royal pain in the butt, if you have to, going to every event, being the best you can be, until you get recognition. It sounds hard, but you'll notice people catch on quick.
5: One more thing. The reason we haven't got money recently: because a mutual agreement was passed. We use money to further the progress of the linkshell. Whether that advancement mean a WHM getting a noble's, or doing a dynamis as a linkshell, our money helps everyone. It is not like the money is being pulled out of our pockets. We go to sky because we WANT to. I never heard Boondock say "Dahotness come to sky, because I said so, right now." (Boon knows better to talk to me like that anyway, haha) That being said, the money is not being pocketed, the Jins have money of their own from playing the game 2+ years. I know one thing we got with the linkshell money was a Thief's Knife. On Saturday's Gods we had to have gotten at least 30M worth of drops. Genbu dropped 2 Vclaws alone, plus a whole mess of Items. If you ask me, that is a 100M well spent.
In conclusion, (if you are still reading my long post), if you think I or my beautiful GF or the Jins or any of us are a part of a RMT Linkshell, then there is no help for you. Obviously, you must need mental help, and I am not licensed to legally administer medication at this point in time. So you are just going to have to go on with your lives, until i finish med school for Pharmacy (yes, that is my real major). BE will continue on with or without the support of haters, and those who don't like the linkshell, don't be in it. Have nothing to do with us. We kill kirin in an hour, which i'm very proud of. It may not be the fastest time, but we are a truly talented group of individuals. We will own sky, as long as we are there, and if we do at one point in time decide to start HNMs we will own those as well.
Wolf is a friend of mine, but I do not condone his actions. He obviously feels slighted, and let's face it no one is perfect. I never said that our linkshell was heaven or that we never have problems. I know how it is to feel like you deserve something and no one sees it your way. But taking actions into your own hands is not always the way. Seikatsu taught me that. I know he is not in it for the money, because Saturday at gods, I offered to give him my Hauberk so he can WS harder, but he refused to use my Hauberk. He just wants the armor he feels he deserves, whether that is right or not, is up to the community to decide.
Quetzalcoatl what do you think? Is it wrong for a person to want something, and do anything he feels is necessary right or wrong to attain it?
or on the other hand..
Is it right to sit back, and wait for months, for an item you feel you deserve?
Shouldn't a person talk to the leader in /tell or talk to a few friends privately and try to get support? Would not that be a more discreet way of getting something desired without starting trouble involving outside people with something that really should be kept internal?
I do not have all the answers. I just tell it how I see it. Love me, hate me, I will still be all that I can be, as I think Wolf is trying to do.
