    btw, didnt know about "blacklisting" you until you said something so, methinks you may enjoy this attention just a theory though.
    ^ that. Sheep are gonna do what sheep do. If anyone blists you, chances are, they'll end up wiping you off the list when they have to clear it because it's full. Personally, if I were you, I'd look at them removing me from their blist as a loss on my end.

    HA. Reminds me of this guy on my server who blisted me. He asked me for a tip for melding MY materia to MY weapon with MY catalyst for a lowly relic...Lol, a matter of 10 seconds really. I gave him the tip because he asked for it, which I found a little weird because 1.) I don't make people tip me when I OFFER to meld materia for their relic. And 2.) I've never been asked to tip someone for melding for my relic either. In 1.0 you tipped someone because they used their own catalyst. In 2.0, all the materials and catalysts come from the requester. So all you're wasting when melding someone's materia is time. And if you don't want to waste that. Don't offer.

    After explaining that to him, he said "I wasted my time and gear damage on you. Welcome to my blist moron"

    To which I responded, "Never take me off of it"

    Your comment just reminded me of that story XD

    It's like when you order pizza and they charge you a delivery fee. As far as I'm concerned, the delivery fee is the tip. They shouldn't charge me a flat fee for something then expect extra on top of it.

    If someone asks for a meld, and you step up, your doing it out of kindness. If they tip you for it, then that is kindness in return. When you demand payment, that's not kindness, that then becomes business. And you know what? If you really want a tip, then fine, here's 50 gil for the stupid repair cost.

    And honestly, most players with multiple lv 50 crafters hardly need a tip. Most high level craters are sitting on 1mil gil or better.

    This sorta reminds me of this one guy who was willing to craft me a i90 DRG Chest piece using MY MATS and MATERIA, and he wanted a 250K tip for it. If anything, that tip is to prevent him from walking away with my mats and being a thief. >.>
    Either make some friends who can craft things for you, or suck it up and pay strangers for their time.

    I really don't get the sense of entitlement from people who say things like this. So, you think the crafter leveled most crafts to level 50, full melding her gear (about 2m + 1.5m per class), and got through the Artisan grind (which also costs about a 1m per class as well as many hours of crafting) just so she could spend her time crafting stuff for you for free since you took ten seconds to buy some mats off the MB? If crafting is so easy that crafters shouldn't be paid for their time (and time is the biggest cost to a crafter, not mat prices which they can factor into the price), why aren't you doing it yourself? Not to mention, there is no 100% rotation for three star (i90) crafts. If he failed to HQ the synth, would you expect him to replace your mats and try again?

    Hoo boy, this comment affects me personally. In the case of pizza deliveries, that delivery charge never makes it to the driver 90% of the time. Most often, they are using their personal vehicles and pay out of their own pocket for gas to bring you your pie.
    I deliver chinese food and this is the case for me. I also get paid nearly half of minimum wage because I'm considered tip-wage.

    The high cost of gas and maintenance to keep the car running add up very quickly. We depend entirely on tips to survive.

    The more people that think like you, the less likely I'm able to pay my rent this month. Please reconsider your stance on tipping.
