But, I wonder: Why me? Am I the only one that has this happen? Or are there others?
And, I get comments like:
- "... you are beautiful..." -> galkan gilseller i ran into in Bastok Mines
- "... can i be your boyfriend?..." -> hume gilseller who ran into me in Lower Jeuno
- "... you're pretty... friend can i be one?..." -> a gilseller i ran into in Ordelle's Caves a few months ago
... and so on... >.>;
It's come to a point that one of the gilsellers from Ordelle's Caves a few night's ago, while heading to the ZM5 headstone, sent me a random tell asking to be my friend. And, get this: He gave me his email address!!! ~.~;
Ok... so, seeing how TOO nice a person I am, I gave him my email address, the one I use for junk mail and such, in other words, an email account I never check just to shut him up. Thus, this morning, out of curiousity, I check that account. He actually sent me an email!
This is what I've got (a bit paraphrased for this post):
Quote:
hi sister, call me lixusheng... im 21, from china. im happy to meet you, you're pretty... do you have a cam?... i like to talk to you 6 pm your time... i am sick with cold right now, was in FFXI for 12 hours... logged out 4 hours ago...
Email continues to another paragraph in Chinese ~.~;
Hmm, but I love mysteries, and will do some undercover work to see how the gilseller business works... might be good information for SE. Who knows? ~.^
But, several things that got to me, besides the cam thingy, one of which is that he plays FFXI for 12 hours. And, when he mentioned "6 pm" my time, he knows US time, also. It seems they make him work like it's a sweatshop. But, I will keep his identity a secret and do some more "undercover work". Just imagine if I could reveal the identity and inner workings of nearly every gilseller on this server. o.O
Don't worry... you won't see me out there trying to PK others or steal NMs. I will do that to them instead. >:) I will continue to talk to him, maybe he'll reveal more about his gilseller friends. If I've compiled enough information, I will send it to SE. (And, SE better do something about it!!)
Time to get to work... I feel like Sydney Bristow or Dana Scully. ^^
I will update this post when I learn more about him and his gilseller friends.
