Some people just shouldn't exist:

On Shiva, this guy Syth asks me if I want 300,000 gil. I say "Well since you twisted my arm, sure", figuring he was a high lvl guy wanting to help out newbies. I investigate him, and he's a lvl 13 War, no subjob. So then he starts telling me that he can duplicate items. Since I'm pretty sure it's a scam, and if it IS possible I KNOW it's against the EULA, I asked him how he does it. Big mistake. His reply is "you go to the website, dumba**".

Next, I tell him that I want nothing to do with him, and that I'm just fine playing the game like it was intended to, which results in a "fine, your loss you stupid b***h" (or something to that effect). So then he starts spamming me with tells filled with swears and insults. I stop replying, until he asks me how old I am. I told him I was 15 (a lie, actually 22), figuring that he'd stop using innapropriate language to a kid, but then the tells continued for a few more minutes, none of which I replied to.

At this point I petitioned a GM, and he explained the /blist function to me, and that he'll investigate the duping patch he claims to have (probably a standard reply, as I doubt one actually exists). That blacklist is great, problem solved.

I don't really mind swearing, as my Linkshell swears quite a bit. All the original members are real life freinds, and if you don't like it you can always throw the LS away (having a love for dark humor is a prerequisite for our shell). Even so, I would not send a stranger tells for several minutes full of curse words. This case is exceptionally odd seeing as how he's trying to cheat, in one way shape or form, and there's probably other people out there that will give him al their items...

Has anyone else heard about or been a vicim of this scam? If a "duping" program ever surfaces, I hope all users of it will be castrated and deported (vote for me for president!).

And Syth, if you're reading this: refusing to cheat doesn't make me "gay", or a "little b***h" or anything else except an honest man trying to have a little fun in his spare time.

Thats just so gay.

Was the GMs only response to explain blist to you? Cause if that were me the GM would get an ear full if that was all he had to say. I hope he at least said he was going to give offending player a warning.

Im pretty sure that /tells are logged to. There is no expectation of privacy for player interaction.
