Common Courtesy

No, the deal I thought I agreed to was giving my shank and in return obtaining the BB item.

Hey, guess what? If you speak fluent english, people are going to expect you to understand words that all 4 year olds understand. If you do not, then you should just suck it up, and give up the item you promised to give up, if only as payment for teaching you such a valuable piece of vocabulary.

However, perfectly reasonable English-speaking person could interpret the arrangement as being "I get your shank If the tongue drops". English is not a simple language where every piece of dialogue is always perfectly clear, there are nuance to language that is often lost over written media. Can you honestly say you have never read a post and been unable to tell whether the post was sarcastic? Besides if you had read my post you'd see that Pewpew screwed himself out of a shank and Linh out of an orb.

I have never read the word "chance" and took it to mean anything else, no.

Jeff wants item A
Sue wants item B
A and B both drop from the fight
they go together so they each get two chances to get the item they want
Sue trades her item for them to fight
neither item drops

Jeff decides he doesn’t like just the one chance at his item so he says, “well since I didn’t get A from yours I get B if it drops in mine”
Sue: “But B didn’t drop in mine and I don’t even want A”
Jeff: “Well I didn’t get what I wanted from yours, so I’ll leave and do this deal again with someone else for more chances”
*Jeff warps out*
*Sue looks at her empty hands and begins to cry*


basically a scenario for what happened.
You didnt like that you didnt get the drop from his so didnt want to burn yours even though he burnt his for you to get a chance.

I used to get it in YOTD when I'd go we'd do their orb then theyd warp away, thanks for the help and drops, gl with yours

YOU are the one who did wrong OP

so if the tongue had dropped on their orb and you won the lot would you be posting this?

this is the problem with any popped content. Ideally, if a group goes together to do multiple attempts at x it should be that all pops are consumed, whether you choose to use it come your turn or not. That would end the whiney puss-bags that just quit when they find out the drop isn't theirs no matter who's pop it's from.

simple answer, if you commit to the runs with a rule on drops for the group then you are commited. quit before the runs are done and yeah, you're an ass.

How much should it matter in this game?

A player named Pewpeww shouted for a YOYD "Horns of War". After I clarified that the Behemoth Tongue still drops in Horns of War per this post:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...0514#post80514

He sent me a tell saying that he'll give me a chance to lot BB item on both his and his LS-mate's orb if it dropped.

When it was my turn (3rd/last) the Tongue still had not dropped. I asked if I still get to keep my shank if my orb didn't drop Tongue. He said that wasn't part of the deal I made, that it wasn't his fault I misinterpret the deal.

"The deal was not for the BB item itself, but the chance for you to lot it if it drops on our orb. Even if it doesn't drop on your orb, we still get your shank. You misinterpret the deal, not our fault."

Is this what you call a "Confidence Man Tactic"? Cuz through the "fine print/contract" he is right, but not through the "General Perception" or "Common Courtesy" way.

Those are the moment you /blm and d2 one of them while they're not looking.
Maybe you'd get lucky getting them both without one running away.
Jokes Jokes. Even though i've always wanted to do it lol.
