Shard Thief (Veigar Primordial)

Just a warning to be wary of a player who's been recently joining FCs and stealing materials (~1300 Lightning Shards from mine). Be careful of him and any others associated with.

Before anyone calls me out for "not setting the FC ranks properly", we are a relatively new FC which split off from another one following disagreements, the entirety of our new FC is hard at work together getting us off the ground starting with nothing. It is entirely our fault that these were stolen I'll grant.
So at the very least, take is warning for others to avoid the same mistake.

EDIT: Server: Primal(NA) -> Exodus

You'll get banned for mentioning his name on here.
You might wanna change your post.

Unaware of how things work around here, just here to post a warning.

That's ok.
I've actually read on here about people doing this kind of thing before.
Best thing you can do is report them to a GM and hope you get your stuff back. Sadly, we're not allowed to name and shame though :/

Sometimes a temporary suspension on the forums is worth informing people of a threat on their server.

I've heard Square Enix GMs are little more than "ghosts" so I don't expect much >.>
I'm not really expecting/wanting our stuff back (because this is the internet so I can't do much about it) but its hard watching the efforts of my friends go to waste. :/ We've been through a rollercoster-ride of a time recently.

Your best bet is to make a chat macro that names and shames him for what he does and every now and again, post it in RevToll or a city.
Something like:
->XXXX_YYYY Is joining Free Companies, cleaning out whatever he can access in the Bank, then quitting. Be wary of him.

And then drop that in Shout/Say every now and again.

That's something you should be wary of doing, it immediately makes you look just as bad as the person stealing items.

As for the OP I would say you should learn from this and set a rank with a rank with deposit only privileges that all new members are given, then after a predetermined amount of time they get permission to withdraw. The problem is that there will be a lot of players that will do this, the best thing you can do is try to pursuade players to have this rank, as uncovering one person isn't even scratching the surface.

You still have his name in the title though.

Take the high road. Learn your lesson and just move on. You are going down a No-Win path here. Be happy they only took a very small amount of shards... It could have been extremely bad and it wasn't. No matter how you justify your actions, players will/can look negatively towards you and your FC by calling him/her out. Tread with caution is all I'm saying.

(Too bad your not on Midgard, I'd drop you the shards as a "don't worry about it" gesture...) btw Boarskin maps are a great source for 220 shard drops. Turn this into a guild recovery event and group up, go run some maps and get back to having fun!

You cant edit the title. A Forum mod will have to do it.

Just done a lookup on the character, and his only class is a lvl 5 ACN in starter gear (odd seeing as the class quest will give a grimore and normal leveling quests give gear, I assume an alt to trade to another character, I can't see why a lvl 5 character would take shards. Get him reported for this, SE can trace trades if needed, but also check players on the Lodestone and ask about anything that seems odd at first. Maybe make a Linkshell for new people and eventually allow them into the FC.

All a legitimate Lvl 5 character would need is a Linkshell to get help with content and get advice, not a full FC.

This thread gave me a heart attack cause I instantly thought I was being framed for something I did not do until I saw the date it was posted. I roleplay as a female Veigar from league of legends under the name of Veig(E)r Primordial and I came from Exodus a long while back. Jesus all I wanted was to make a character card by looking up my lodestone for her, not freak out thinking I was being framed! XD
But now I understand why and who took the original Veigar name in exodus when I first tried to make my character, Sad to see someone is tarnishing a good name...

Also, you should totally have the name removed from the title. I really don't want someone mistaking my baby with that person, especially since its literally a one letter difference.

Forum rules aside, I'm all for outing the thief. They get away with it thinking people won't speak up. Get the word out; show them that kind of behavior isn't welcome in your community.

I had that happen once. We took to the streets and made sure people knew in every city. Call it harrassment if you will, but I'm not gonna roll over and let someone get away with exploiting the good faith of other players.

In fairness however, the forum rules do state against this. I've screen shot it and got the info (in case of a sudden new arrival on my server), but for what it's worth, I commend you for taking the stand and doing what's right, even if the rules say otherwise.

Just to point it out but this thread was made 3 years ago.
