Player Warning - RucaFollow

Excuse me?

No, I'm not nuking anyone's Karma on this thread, except yours for being an ***. In fact, when I posted it several days ago I received one of the lovely cluster errors from Allakhazam...so I didn't think it even went through and posted.

Given that I was extremely frustrated and upset, I thought it was better that the post hadn't gone through. I just recently noticed that it did.

#1. No, what happened was not the end of the world. But I had reason to be upset. I'm over the incident now, but I still do not have a good opinion of this player due to what happened and how they responded to my being upset about the issue. I will not party with people like this (unfortunately there are a high number of people that leave when they level or when they get a merit at this level).

#2. Ruca does not speak English, she said so many times using the translator. If she does speak English, (s)he was claiming ignorance so (s)he didn't have to respond.

#3. Yes of course I know people have schedules, and that real life is much more important than FFXI. But what you don't seem to understand is that I was looking forward to reaching 72, and I was on the absolute cusp. To see someone stay later than they said they would only to level and then leave regardless of everyone else is incredibly rude.

#4. As I'd said, we couldn't find a replacement because it was very late, and we were all tired. Ruca leaving meant the party was disbanding because others were leaving when (s)he did.

#5. No, the "Time for Work" excuse is NOT always BS. But when someone gains a level or whatnot immediately before or after they say this, it of course draws suspicion.

#6. Contrary to what a lot of people think, getting XP parties at 71+ PLD is NOT an easy thing. Reason being is that there are an insane number of high level Paladins, many going after XP buffers and others going for Merit Points. Remember that the cap is 75...there's nowhere to go afterwards except other jobs. I spend more time seeking at 70+ than at any other level.

I wasn't really in a hurry to get 72, it was the fact that I'd been 71 for awhile (due to seek times and my schedule) and I really wanted to advance. Does this incident mean Ruca doesn't know up from down, how to Skillchain, or how to do anything else in game? Of course not. Does this incident mean Ruca leaving immediately after she leveled was rude, inconsiderate, and only for their personal gain? Yes it does.

And in closing, shut the f[i][/i]uck up confucion.

Notice my previous post:





I do not owe anyone anything for joining a party, I am 1/6th of the party, just as important as any other member. If you re-read my original post, you will see that I said TWICE that I understood that (s)he needed to leave, and that it happens. I only got upset when (s)he stayed late just to get a level, then immediately left.

If I said anywhere that Ruca was a "bad player", please show me where and I'll correct it. I made the post to warn of his/her playing attitude/style, not their skill level. I would personally not want anyone I know to enter this kind of a situation.

I didn't expect jack from the party. But when (s)he said they needed to leave, I expected them to leave and we'd all go on our way. Not keep the party together until the moment they leveled, then leave.

I rarely post on threads like this because there is always two sides to a story. After reading your posts' {stunted} and the replies from the others I'm left wondering why you didn't 5 man for your last bit of xp.

Also I noted that this was Rucas party?

It also looks as if Ruca gave warning that he/she was leaving soon.

With what you yourself have said, why in the world would you post a "Player Warning" thread here?
Just my thoughts on this. I dont know you, and have only played with ruca a few times. But really, did this player deserve a player warning thread because they stayed what 5-10 mins longer to get 1000-1500 xp before they had to go to work.

From what your side of the story is -unless there is more- Ruca didn't deserve this. Confuction is in PM with Ruca, I believe confuction is the owner/leader. All confuction is doing is sticking up for a ls mate that is getting blasted for nothing.

They also probably would not waste everyone's time posting about it.

Edit: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your ratedowns will never hurt me!

lol you mean you don't have anything to respond to my posts with but more whining.

So what LS?

Calling shennanigans on you because for someone who's been in "one of the best HNMls for over a year," you're acting mighty pissy of 1k xp at level 72.

The people I know from the top HNMls on the server ( mine included kthx ^^ )rape sky for about 10k xp an hour. Soooo... since you're in "one of the best" for "over a year now" why is some pissant xp pt in Ro' Meave making your yeast infection itch all over again? I mean surely someone of your high regard in an HNMls for that long this should npok.

Well, since I busted you on your BS remarks, you're pretty much naked now kiddo.

Like I said GL getting into a "real" HNMls, and Roc, Simurgh, Serket aren't the HNM's I mean lol. Panzy.
