Seriously need to vent some frustrastion after just playing so need to create this post.
I have needed a Magiked skull for quite some time now as the final item for the sub job quest. Got in a group today, who all already had their subjobs and we were hunting on the beach. I announced that I really needed a skull so we looked for some ghouls.
Our first ghoul and hey presto! a magiked skull! I couldn't believe my luck! I cast a lot for it as everyone passes so that I could get it, but as I'm casting my lot, one member cast a lot for it as well! And naturally they scored the higher number so they got a useless (to them) skull!
I was screwed! He said that he didn't know you couldn't trade skulls and that his intentions were to cast a lot for it and then pass it on to me. WHY CAST THE LOT????
I explained that what he should have done is leave it and let me lot for it so I would score it. Anyway, we kicked him from the group as everyone was disgusted at such and act and played on without him.
He later kept apologising saying that he was new and didn't know that he shouldn't have done it, but I still think it was one of the most thoughtless, stupid things (despite being an 'ignorant mistake') I've seen in the game between players, and all of my party agreed they hadn't seen much worse that that.
I didn't abuse the guy but I explained that anybody else probably would have let him have it!
Any other experiences like this? (Insert Frustrated Scream!)
