A sincere apology.

This morning around 4:50 a.m. EST I was in a MogEX group with Kasey Robinson, Sayori Neko, Raigne Takahashi, Kira Escae, Gray Fox, and Solar Eclipse. After the win I very much accidentally hit Need on the healer ribbon for which I meant to greed, even as a white mage. However shortly after doing so, instead of giving me a chance to properly apologize and make it up by grinding out more ribbons and leaving the instance before anyone bid anything (forsaking anything else I would possibly want) I was kicked and blacklisted.

Understandable through aggravating because I couldn't even resolve the issue and now, for the first time, feel I have earned a bad reputation with people on the server. This is expressly contradictory to anything else I have done on Hyperion since I've been playing.

If any of you reading this know these people, please let them know about this post as I may not be able to contact any of them in game.

It's happened to us all, man. And we've all slipped up and have done it.

Hi! Kira here! xD

Can't speak for the others, but I understood it was an honest mistake. Don't stress. The other person who wanted that healing neck got it pretty much the next run so it's all good.
I think they're just quick to be angry because from what I read afterwards, you weren't the first to "ninja" an item and they just have bad luck with people rolling need and then bailing.

If the others are on, I'll try to pass this on.

I didn't blacklist you btw =)

I know these two. I wouldn't worry too much about what they think.

It's not truly a "ninja" loot given the 3 button choices. People cry ninja when their roll is week or some secret committee promised a will roll. I come from much harsher MMOs with full open loot loose all on death and some perma deaths. True "ninja" looting is 4 of you fighting a boss mob for a specific item drop in an open free loot world as I stand off out of sight watching you do the work. As the boss drops and you all cheer and call out over said voice program you still don't see me running in till im already "ninja" looting the item. Calling someone out for Need Greed Pass choices as ninja looting and kicking and blacklisted is just a baby crying. I understand the frustation of farming a drop...(anarchy online) and getting "ninja'd". But it's laughable to it from many that truly don't understand it.

Ha! Fitting and funny. I like it.

this is the eternal curse of the poorly thought out greed party concept. You either piss them off by hitting need by accident(because you'd normally be used to hitting need if you can. can't blame people for reflex), or you piss someone off because you rolled highest for an item that someone wanted and was playing a job that could have needed it.

People need to get over themselves. Just forget about the people that act that way and move on.

Thank you all for your input on this. In the grand scheme of the universe it isn't a big deal, but I am glad that I was able to take responsibility as well as cause a discussion on the topic. It has been very interesting hearing the stories and opinions here and in the game. If a bad circumstance can be learned from then it truly isn't bad in the long run.

As long as it isn't stirring pots, I'd love to have our community share other such stories or even compare this game's system to others. It's a bit like the Midnight Society gathering around the campfire for another "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". :cool:
