I’ve been in GLLS for several months now and I only recently dropped my pearl because I felt enough was enough (more on this later). I rarely had the pearl on because I preferred to be in my chat ls and really don’t play that often enough. Besides, I got most of what I’ve needed from a previous HNM ls and so only really went on GLLS events just to help out. Anyway, I do know most of the key players in this whole melodrama and have only had time today with the servers being down to read through all this amusing crap.
Before I state what ultimately made me totally disgusted with GLLS, I wanted to clarify and reiterate a few points. Oh and if you want to rate me down for this post, feel free – if you want to flame me for this post feel free – you’re the one reading it, so don’t complain. Anyhoo – GLLS – where to begin. I’ve known many of the people involved in this whole thing for quite some time. As far as Thalion is concerned – yea I knew he was unhappy – but that he stole? Hmmm. I don’t know that he stole a single thing. If you consider attempting to redeem points for items as stealing, then yea I suppose you could call him a thief. But then again, it would seem only those in favor of the leadership were really allowed to freely redeem points, so then I suppose by that reasoning they are thieves as well. Whatever. The GLLS point system gets manipulated so often to favor the sacks that it is disgusting. Like I said, I already have what I need, so it didn’t really matter to me, but if I remember correctly – Thalion and Bibrian each had plenty of points when the whole thing went down. To me, I just feel like an LS that places conditions on whether or not you can spend points that have been clearly earned based solely on whether or not they like you, or perceive you to be “loyal†or not is ludicrous. Regardless of whether or not you like someone, they did in fact earn the points. You’ve gotten tens of hours of help from that person, then you turn around and tell them they can’t redeem them? When it states in your own forums that you can? WTF. Then you have people like Sheeba saying that Thalion and Thecrew tried to leech and suck GLLS dry. LMAO this from a person of questionable integrity who is in possession of stolen property. We can’t all stand by the lightpost in Lower Jeuno and have guys throw gils and items at us.
That certain GLLS leaders would call Thalion or anyone else a thief is laughable. These are the same people that condoned and praised Kluyasufoya. For a few days, many of us thought that Thalion and the rest of those that were booted really were traitors and thieves. I am guilty of thinking the same, although I wasn’t one of the sheep that blindly accepted Kluya’s so called “righteous†reasons for doing what he did such as Tetsu and Gentaro. Nor did I bother to listen to Wiccatu or Booger’s praise of Kluyasufoya either – seeing at I’ve never trusted either of them. Those two love to create drama – “we’re leaving – no we’re back – we’re leaving – no we were on a secret missionâ€. These guys are grown-up with kids? Orz for the kids if their parents behave this way. But anyway, the more I thought about it, and the more people would talk about it, it seemed to me that the only thing they were guilty of was being unhappy with GLLS and being silent about wanting to leave. I mean I can see why them and so many people were unhappy – sackholders literally ignore members asking for help unless it’s for a sack, then people are commanded to help, people like Radell SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS DURING TRIGGERS BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS SMALL WEE-WEE, Wiccatu doing her typical backhanded ******** time and time again, Zerta saying things on the LS that rarely isn’t offensive, people constantly arguing, sacks changing lotting rules on the fly just to make sure favored people get items over those with more points – it’s a mess. On the other hand, I have seen how GLLS brands people that leave or are considered “unloyal†and I doubt they would have compensated any of those people for all their unspent points so I can understand why they never said anything. I am betting that none of this would have happened if Gwenn was still at the helm, but then Fsst is certainly no Gwenn. Gwenn actually was honest and honorable. Doing /em joy to people and putting on a “nice guy†show does not hide true motives to those intelligent enough to recognize it. Again, this doesn’t apply to those that blindly follow the GLLS leadership such as Tetsu and Gentaro. Speaking of points, I always found it interesting how sackholder points would magically go up or only sackholders would be allowed to redeem points for gil or items, yet everyone else making such a request needed a “sack voteâ€. Again, whatever.
So ok, this whole thing happens. Thalion, Bibrian, Kluyasufoya, Fusekazuki, and a bunch of others get kicked. Then we are told by Fsst they were planning to steal and such. By this time I unequipped the pearl because it was getting stupid. A week passes and thecrew, Thalion, and Kluyasufoya are the scorn of the server. Then a week later Kluya shows up again in GLLS. He’s praised by Fsst, Booger, and Wiccatu. Booger and Wiccatu never migrated, apparently to the dismay of many. Oddly enough we weren’t told of any so called stolen items (the SH+1, SH, and Royal Cloak) – only of the Noble’s Tunic. So naturally everyone was happy. In my opinion by the way, Bibrian should have just been given the tunic and had his points deducted for it. God knows he earned it. Sure he had been missing in action towards the end, but why should that take away from his huge contribution from the start? Oh well, more GLLS unfairness I suppose. But anyway – then we find out that Kluysufoya in fact did take more than just the Noble Tunic he was supposed to “recoverâ€. More than that, and this seems to have been lost on most people – what Kluya did was sanctioned by and known ahead of time by Fsst – our “honorable†nice-guy leader – the same leader who told us he knew not of any stolen items. Whatever. Then a few days later it seems there is this long thread here on Alla about this. Kluyasufoya openly admits he took back the Noble on top of stealing an SH+1, SH, and Royal Cloak – and this was a plan “masterminded†by Fsst and himself. He must have really long arms to be able to pat himself on the back like that. So ok, he admits to it – and on top of that, reveals that Fsst lied to the linkshell about the stolen items. I remember hearing about a few members that were asked to leave because they said the items should be given back. Then you have idiots like Sheeba, Wiccatu, Tetsu and countless others who’s wits couldn’t light a refrigerator chime in with their praise of Kluya’s actions. He admitted to deleting his friend Ensane’s account for no other reason than some argument. But no – Kluya is not a thief – he’s the righteous one. So righteous I remember hearing him brag about his Peacock Charm (which he stole from Ensane’s account). Fsst and his “honor†speech – “it’s a personal matter between themâ€. Oh really? Well after all of this went down, I stopped equipping the GLLS pearl because as word got out that thecrew were not in fact the thieves, but WE were – my Japanese friends from other HNM ls’s began to send me nasty tells about GLLS. So great - I try to join an LS that better suited my schedule (even though I admittedly didn’t spend much time on it simply because most of the drama made me sick) – is now considered the scourge ls of Ragnarok by the JPs. Great! Having been away for a couple of weeks, I come back to the game only to hear from my JP friends that a couple of GLLS members have stolen items from a JP player – something about an E-bow and SH+1 – whatever. Unbelievable. I log into GLLS just to poke my head in to see what’s going on and nothing is going on – absolutely nothing. I asked when the next triggers or gods would be and all I got was an “I dunnoâ€. Only a handful of people were on at the time - and it wasn’t even that late! LOL. Pathetic.
Fusekazuki – you’re a funny guy and a great warrior, and I feel bad you were an innocent bystander. Dregan and Ixidorr – I feel bad for you guys – more innocent bystanders. Thalion – I’ve known you for a long time, and I know you’re one of the good guys, despite what some of the GLLS sackholders would have us believe – sorry you lost your SH (I remember you spending hours and hours crafting just to get it – orz) but I am glad to hear that thecrew is doing so well. Bibrian – you’re an idiot sometimes – but I’ve always known you to be a nice guy – not sure if your intentions were to “steal†the noble, but I also understand why you thought you were entitled to it. Nonetheless, I am one of the handful that didn’t think you should have had your Royal Cloak stolen and not returned since that was yours and had nothing to do with GLLS. Bennettz – you and I go way back from our JP HNM ls days and I can’t believe that Fsst would use you as some kind of scapegoat (ok, not that surprised) – but from my conversations with all of my JP friends in other HNM ls’s – they know you had nothing to do with this either. Ensane – what can I say? It was totally f’cked up what Kluya did to you – and I will always remember our days in Valkurm together – I hope you can get your character back and return to FFXI sometime despite what has happened to you. As for the rest of the GLLS sacks – get a clue – you guys should get some facts before preaching or spreading lies about other players. Wiccatu – I never liked you, but I suppose I have company in that area. That you would imply there could be some trouble because Orenshi and Thalion live in the same city is despicable. That you would say Vanity was enticed to join thecrew so that Thalion could steal from him is despicable. Yes, I’ve spoken to Vanity and even he says you’re lying. You know, you’re a miserable person, and yes Dregan – I too have screenshots of Wiccatu shooting off her mouth in the sackholder forums about other members and how she twists rules and points to her or someone else’s advantage (like the way she gave Booger her points during one of the times she “left†and then said that others who left shouldn’t be allowed to give away their points). You hypocrite. LMAO.
All right – so enough of the random rambling about this whole thing – and on to the thing that ultimately made me drop my pearl – because I assure you that some of you will find this interesting. Naturally there were several reasons – taking Kluyasufoya back (whom from I hear is either rarely on now or never helps), after he stole items from people that were guilty of nothing more than wanting to leave and to redeem their points for giving GLLS hours and hours of their time in exchange, and the refusal of GLLS leaders to return or reimburse those that lost the stolen items (although I understand that GLLS has compensated those in thecrew that help to replace the stolen SH+1) - most of the people that I actually liked in GLLS have left because of this nonsense – I am sick of getting tells from friends in JP HNM linkshells talking crap to me as if I had something to do with GLLS’s horrible reputation – but finally – and this is what disgusted me the most:
Kluyasufoya posted a screenshot of him dropping the SH+1 – such an honorable and righteous guy. Of course, as he says, we can not possibly say he stole it “out of greedâ€. And after all, GLLS did reimburse those people that replaced the stolen SH+1 right? (Even though as far as I know they have no intention of replacing the stolen SH and Royal – so much for honor and righteousness.) Well here’s an interesting tidbit that I am not sure if Fsst, and the “honorable†and “righteous†leadership of GLLS know about – I’ve known Kluya and Ensane for a long time – since our days in Valkurm Dunes. Yes, they were kind of an “odd†pair – but in the end they always seemed to be nothing more than great friends. I had them both on my friendlist. Well last week I noticed an interesting thing…
CHECK OUT THIS IMAGE Did any of you know that Areith is Kluyasufoya’s mule? LMAO! Unless he stole another SH+1 from someone else – I think you guys got pwnd! So what did all of this ******** get you? You ruined the reputation of GLLS, you in effect stole from others (and I think the whole server knows it by now – because from what I am told by other JP HNM linkshells – they certainly know you did), you made up lies about other people, accused them of stealing, pat yourselves on the back, welcomed a thief back with open arms, AND you even paid for one of the items he stole while he made off with 15 million! LMAO! GLLS=Gwenn’s Lovely Little SUCKERS? LMAO! LMAO! LMAO! I’m embarrassed to have ever having a pearl. The sad thing? You did this to yourselves. Anyway, I bid you all farewell and assuming the rumors lately turn out to be true - gratz to you Fsst and Kluyasufoya - you guys made out like bandits!
