My first Rant/Flame on AllakhazamFollow

Ok so, you all know I'm new. Been around for only four months. Blah, big deal. A couple of weeks ago, a member from my LS, ZantsukenSyndicate, going by the name of Koose let me borrow her Centurion's sword, because I needed a weapon for my WAR(Having no gil at the time) So I decided I'd send her my chainmail body armor in exchange, since it was of equal value in terms of gil. She seemed like a very nice person, and someone I could trust.

So, after a week of using the sword, I was done with it. I sent a tell to let her know that I was sending it back, and that I wanted my sword before night on the next day. This happened two weeks ago. By the end of the next week, I had reached lvl 24, and was ready to suit up in my chain mail and head back to Quifim.

But there was one problem, she never sent me back my chain mail body armor. Oh, sure, I'd sent her a tell everday, asking politely if I could have it back. But she never did send it, and still hasn't. It's been one week, and I still haven't been able to party up anywhere. I don't know how many invites I had to turn down, but I know for a fact that it was over 14 of them. So I still sent her tells, but she ignores them.

A fellow LS member, Korvin, who had PT'ed with her a few times asked her politely if she'd return the armor, and she said she would. But again, she still hasn't sent it. I've talked to many of my friends about this, and they say that she's either sold the mail and spent the money for stuff of her own, or that she's not giving it back. Some of my friends even told me to make a GM Call, but hell, what the **** will a GM do? What the hell can he do? Nothing. I still think that she keeps forgetting, but what do I know. I'm too trusting. My friends might be right about her never giving it back.

I barely have 22k, and that's roughly enough for a new mail, a few rides to Kazham, and a few chocobo rentals. I need that money too. I worked so hard to get a decent amount of cash in my pocket and now I have to spend it because I might never get my armor back. People suck. Even though a million gil is now $30, I still refuse to cheat. It's not an honorable thing to do, and I don't want to ruin the game and lose what little respect I have.

So.. if you know Koose, or Rasha(Her mule, I believe) or see her in town please tell her to send my chainmail back. Help a newb out, please... =/
