Okay SE, You've Had Enough Fun. . .

. . . Now would somebody please get that clumsy laborer hanging for his life in Idyllshire down safely? He's been hanging for dear life for at least 3 patches now. That man needs a new job. A safe job that doesn't involve heights, lol. I don't want to run into him down in the Palace of the Dead in 3.5. . .

Maybe have the Skybear save him?

Sounds like an HR issue in The Shire lol

Who runs the place anyways? Rowena? The goblins?

Just blame Rowena. She's a confirmed slaver. ;D

I'm wondering now if he's still going to be hanging off of something when Idyllshire is finally finished.

Technically true but it's indentured servitude. Her 'slaves' are women who were in crippling debt who she bailed out. If she hadn't they likely would have ended up arrested, indentured by someone else or on the run. Uldan merchants don't have a lot of respect for the concept of declaring bankruptcy. Rowena's deal seems to be a case of giving them a second chance but still putting it on them to dig themselves out of the hole they ended up in.

As for the hanging guy.... All I can say is Eorzea has lousy OH&S regulations. For that matter, I am not convinced on the geological stability of Idylshire. That's not exactly a sturdy base of stone your building this town on top of. This is a place that has Calamities on a regular enough basis and it doesn't look like it would require a particularly violent earthquake to cause the entire town to tumble down.

You guys are looking at it the wrong way, he's doing pull-ups. If he was on a actual pinch he wouldn't be constantly changing locations.

Clearly the man was the one who cleared out that huge pillar on the middle of idleshire.

I'll let him back up when he pays me back the 5 gil he owes me.

I can just imagine running into the Clumsy Contractor in PotD in 4.0. After disappearing during 3.5.

At least this guy's hanging from different places each patch, which means he does get help at some point. What about the poor guy dangling from the scaffolding just across from the Machinist guild in Ishgard? Or the poor woman on the arm of the monument near Falcon's Nest in the Western Highlands? They haven't even moved since 3.0 was released!

Don't even get me started on the guy dangling from the side of the Astalicia in Limsa (although he does deserve it, if those pirates are trustworthy). That's three years of ropeburn right there!
