Another reason Qufim in n00bland >.<Follow

So tonight I help my friend open up the Beastmaster
quest. So in good spirits and fun, I make the Kraken hate me
and I start running around Qufim with it trailing me. Well
I'm running around /anon and obviously not in any danger. So I run by Delkfutts Tower to show a friend of mine the Kraken
and also successfully ran into another person.

So this idiot Princesss a rank 4 Lv 20 Windhurstian Galka
decides omg uBer high level guy who is not in any danger
at all is getting hit by teh Kraken let me heal him.

So within a few second I loose hate from the Kraken because this
idiot throws a Cure II my way and successfully pulls the Kraken
off me straight onto his/her party. Immediatly on my screen I see.

Katsudo was defeated by the Kraken.
Katsudo falls to level 20.

Immediatly I felt bad for what had happened so I killed it
rested by the fallen player and raised them and even gave them
100k for what had just happened.

The really ****** up part about it is Princesss and Gogeto
proceed to harass blaming me for their WHM's death. Which I admit to being partially responsible for but not entirely my
fault. So after a few minutes of them going back and forth
talking **** I finially give up and warp back to my home point and read my chat log to see why I lost the kraken.....

That ******* stupid *** Galkan Princesss is the reason I lost
the Kraken and also spent 100k for nothing. Of course the WHM
made that off me since I felt so bad for the death that wasn't even my fault because if Princess hadn't tried to cure me it never would have turned on that party >.<

ok damn I feel better now guess I just needed to rant.

Edited Katsudo's lvl, was tired and pissed last night so i typed it incorrectly >.<

waaaaait~ did you say Qufim and did i saw a "falls to level 28?" 28?? qufim?? O.o And was Princesss and Katsudo in same pt?
because if there was a level 20 with a 28 in party this is kinda odd, but hey you said it qufim is n00bland, and hmmm yea Princesss sucks i had a couple of people i know in party with him ; ; /comfort Zander

I don't think i would've given them 100k even if it was my fault >.<
I would've said i was sorry and PLed them until they got their exp back. that's just me though :P

i guess, that 100k is the consequence for being an idiot and training a mob around lower level players. sorry, it may be fun, but its pretty reckless. maybe try finding a safe way to show off to lowbies? and it is no way the white mage's fault. if you wouldn't have decided to train in the first place nothing would have happened.

i felt the same way about some idiot ranger who trained an overgrown rose to the kazham zone a couple days ago. if you feel the need to show off, try saving some parties by peeling agged mobs off them, etc. don't put them in danger for your own enjoyment.

1) I think it's clear that he realized it was partly his fault. Hence paying the whm who died 100k as recompense. Rather than berating him further, I should think he deserves at least a nod in his direction for owning up to what was his fault, and trying his best to make it right.

2) The WHM wasn't who made the mistake that caused the loss of aggro.

3) If the person who cast Cure II had been doing so toward her own party I could understand it, but she cured Zander. Dumb mistake, considering curing the person who has the mob's attention results in more hate. Again, still not a big deal, if they hadn't thrown such a fit.

I can't speak for Zander, but I get the impression that the events that occurred weren't what angered him, it was the attitude leveled at him by Princesss, who was at least 50% responsible for what happened.

I have had plenty of things go wrong. Example. I was xping with a party in Boyahda and accidentally hit my steal macro when close to one of the thousand wandering onions, almost causing a complete party wipe. Was it a dumb mistake? Yes. But it was unintentional. I stand by my point that intentionally training a mob that could wipe every party in the area is irresponsible and just plain stupid. Especially an area full of mostly inexperienced players. At level 20 did I have a real understanding of hate management? Not at all, I was an overnuking BLM my first time through. Point being you have no clue who is going to cast cure or do /something/ to pull agg from you. What happened was noone's fault but your own. It's actually very surprising that you are getting sympathetic replies.

First of all. I'm the person who Zander referred to as blaming him. First of all, I didn't send tell to him until he /shout harrasing princess in public. I was only telling him that it's still part of his fault, so just explain politely to princess or just ignore him, or at least.. keep it in private channel.

Also, the whm that got killed was a japanese so she didn't say anything about it afterwards. So we have no way to confirm that zander gave our whm 100k. I was never told about the 100k.

And also, you are just "Trying" to show off. I don't see how princess would decide to throw you a cure II if your HP is still close to full. The actual "show off" is to "having a pet" without getting beaten up like that. So please go back to valkrum dunes to show off. Besides.. you are bringing the mob in the area where there were already like 10 parties there. Please have consideration for the others.

For the record: My association in game with Zander has thus far left me confident that he did indeed pay the amount stated above.

I think this particular comment is in poor taste, honestly, as it has no substance behind it, serving only to put a poor light on Zander's integrity.

True, there is no proof that he did pay the WHM the amount stated. But I will stand forth and vouch for him as an honest player.

As to your other comments, as I was not there, I have no place in replying.

Ehhh, Gogeto does have one point. As the mob kept hitting you, you were losing hate. Technically speaking, any given mob has a hate rating for every character that pisses it off. Every successful hit landed on you would lower your hate rating.

It was STILL a poor decision to heal him though. Cure spells rendered at the person who has the most hate will acrue larger quantities of hate than those aimed otherwise.

One other point I can offer on hate control is this. I've lost hate to Cure II before on my Paladin, after tossing a fresh voke and a Cure. Not often but it happens.

Something of a hijack, but I have this weird fascination with yaking about hate. =P

Anyway like I stated before this was just a rant because I was upset just like you guys were upset that apparently I and I alone killed that WHM, at least I can own up to my involvement in that, But just like you didn't check your log to see when and why that mob turned on your party you did not see what Princesss was saying in /say mode, in any event like I said previously and will not say again, Sorry.

And I'm sure you would understand my position on why I responded the way I did to your /tell considering I'd been hearing it non-stop from the galka.


Live and let go eh?

btw.. I did check the log to see what's going on...... However I admit I don't know what's going on between you and princess .. the only thing I saw was the shout ... so I decided to send you a tell and what response did I get ?!

You feel the need for rant ?! What about me ?! You're the one starting this thread. How about you "Live and let go eh?"

Sorry .. I lost my temper seeing all this posts.. I'll take this somewhere else. I apologize for all these.

Zander, do you ever do anything but whine? All I ever see from you on these boards is some kind of rant, or *****, or complaint. It's getting to be a bit annoying. I have no idea why you find it necessary to do this but you seriously need to stop. Grow up, or learn to enjoy this game, or somehting. Your rants are pathetic and annoying and no one wants to hear it. Learn to deal with your problems instead of whining for sympathy. Stop cluttering up the boards with this pointless nonsense and get over it. I don't want to hear this **** anymore.
