Why are ppl so freaking stupidFollow

warning: <rant: on>

Tonight I spent two hours shouting for members in Whitegate for swift belt run. After we had six members we left and starting all of us had a codex already. We random after each fight to see who goes first, my rolls suck horribly (I was rolling like 38, 13, 103). We do about 4 NM pops, and 3 belts drop. Then while we are fighting fomor to raise our hate our thf just randomly sends me a /tell: "Hey I gotta go in 5 minutes I gotta go to work". ... At first I thought it was a joke and that there was no way anyone would be stupid enough to join a swift belt run which at minimum takes 2.5-3 hours when you KNOW you have to leave in about an hour. ARE YOU RETARDED? Then i think o great no big deal i will go change job to thf and other nin can tank, we can kill balor with 5 members. I strap on my warp club and not even before the timer is ready another member force d/c. So i tell my ls about what is happening and they feel sorry for me, 1 person offers to come help, yet another member disconnects, our healer.

I WANT TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE ON VALEFOR FOR WASTING MY VALUABLE TIME:
Jhagan -- should not have joined if you couldnt stay for the entire duration
endlesspath -- fake disconnect when others are depending on you, unacceptable
aai -- same as above

TO jhagan, aai, and endlesspath: if you have a limited amount of time to play final fantasy, dont join an event or farming or anything when u cannot be easily replaced. It is rude as hell and unfair to others. also, i dont care if you are tired or you have a headache or the sky is falling, fake disconnect IS NOT acceptable under ANY circumstances. dont join if you cant handle it.
go play a differint game this a team based game and you have no integrity.
All three of you owe the other three of us an apology, and you still owe us your time helping us get out belts, or at least taking our turn for a chance to get our belts. we have OUR time invested in you this is only fair. Tough s**t if you dont like that i said that.
I sat in front of the computer for 5 hours and was fully prepared to sit in front of it for as long as it takes for everyone to take their turn with codex
in the future if you guys cannot do exactly this, dont join to begin with, you are only end up wasting their time and I GET PISSED OFF WHEN PEOPLE WASTE MY <expletive> TIME. to everyone else reading this: dont invite these people to your events or pick up ptys.
<rant: off>

If anyone on valefore is putting a swift belt run together let me know i wont d/c (except for acts of God beyond my control), i can stay the entire time regardless how long it takes, but i REFUSE to take the initiative to put together any more of my own pick-up parties for anything ever again.

I don't think stupidity is the problem, just selfishiness. Force d/cs are bad enough in exp parties, but for event like this, especially after you got what you came for is really lame.

Oh, how incredibly lucky I was. I put together my own Reverend Mail run on Fairy through pick-up. And we successfully obtained 10/10 Reverend Mails. :3 It was glorious.

Anywho, it's just a matter of organization and well. A bunch of hard yelling. Agreed people are a bunch of ********* though.

I find myself wondering more and more if time can heal stupid. Five or so years ago I would say yes. But as time goes on, I see more and more people falling into the intellectual roach motel of internet discourse.

Indeed, they were excellent. We even began to enjoy it. I listed a congratulations to those that went and thank you to all on the Fairy forums a bit ago. I think I'll have to go take a look to remember who all was there.

Yeah, good luck with that. I'm sorry you ran across selfish people, but honestly there is nothing more you can do about it now. Take it as a life lesson - either do things like this with trusted friends or be willing to take the risk of being screwed over.

As an aside, I think we should all chip in and buy this guy a SHIFT key.

Actually I find that this is when the quartermaster system actually can have a good use. If you run with the "your orb your drops" rule (which I hate, but that is besides the point) just quartermaster whomever is supplying the orb and it solves the case of ninja lotting. This doesn't always work however in the case of ex or rare/ex drops that the orb supplier would not want and would rather give to another member who would get better use of the item (latent weapons from KS30s for example), so it still isn't a catch all.

I realize you had a bad experience, but man do you have a nasty attitude. I honestly wonder how you got this far in the game as it is if something like that makes you so obviously furious.

There are all sorts of problems you will run in to in the game and in life, you might want to find a decent way to handle them.
Do you even have proof that one or both of those people didn't -actually- D/C legitimately? They very well could have 'faked' it, but there is always that chance that someone actually had a connection issue, though that didn't stop you from listing their name and calling them out for it, as well as saying they owe you 100k for it.

Again, I am sorry you had a crappy experience, that'd make anyone irritated, but I think you need some perspective.

No, it shouldn't, but I have heard of about 4 or 5 people getting shafted on an o-hat run, by getting booted once they traded their cluster, or the leader QM's their hat. I have been to runs where a key job hops it once they have got their item. I've seen the same things happen on swift belt, and know someone who got Richarded on a Under Observation run.

Unless you have absolutely no choice, I would recommend that you simply wait until your linkshell can do the event with you. Sadly, some people are dicks, and shouting for help is like a giant advertisement asking for someone to come and take away your items that you probably worked hard to be in a position to get.

The problem is Darwinism no longer applies today. The stupid do no longer get anihillated by their own retardedness before they can breed.

It's a shame to be sure.

I wouldn't give up too much hope Nilatai. Darwinism is alive and well and even gives out awards now. The Darwn Awards proves it still works, just a little slower then we'd like in these modern times.

Have I been lucky or are BLM just more reliable?
Or maybe it's because it's just a cheap pickup bcnm/ksnm/isnm.

KSNM30 ODS is a joke with 6 blm and I've never had a problem with a pickup run.

BCNM40 UO also a joke with 3 blm and again never a problem - except that time on my orb that taught a lvl 41 (or something) blm what a timed nuke is. I also learned to make sure they know what a timed nuke is or have RR up -.-
it's also a joke when I rdm UO with a couple ninjas from linkshell.

ISNM75 whatever that one with a big fish is - 5blm + rdm also = easy killin and never had a problem with anybody from that.
