To anyone from SE or the Developer Team I need your help in a theft situation

[YuriSan]

"Live and learn" lol...

I'd never repair something that was up for 14 mil. reward lol. i'd think obviously a mistake and
notify the person of that mistake..
And if i did for some reason and the person asked me kindly for his gil. back i'd just give em back without giving him a hard time about it.. common ethics and morals here.

Welcome to Fabul!!!


Where people will come to your house slay all your kittens, slash your velvet sofa, spray paint your expenssive wallpapers and when u react in your rage they'll be like
"You are just overreacting man don't be such a drama queen"
and leave it at that lmao!

As for the comment made on legit transaction for material melding, Yes, the transaction is legit, but the agreement is not.
For that you can say the guy who ran off with the materia is wrong.

When it comes to materia, the agreement is that I will meld Materia to your item, there is nothing saying that I have to give the item back, thats common knowledge.
It should also be common knowledge that this guy made a mistake when he put up a repair item for that amount of money.
The guy who took the money is first class thief and there is nothing that can justify his action.

On another note, it will also be good to keep the names of the guys that support him, so anyone can know who to NOT trust in this game.

[Matsume]

I dont care about the situation, the guy who is not returning the money is an asshole and so is everyone else that supports this kind of a behaviour.
The guy made a mistake, you want him to act like a circus monkey in order to give him his money back?

Trading items for materia melds is also legit, do you think that it would be cool if I kept the item in the end?
It's an honest transaction after all.

This is all the money this guy had seriously, I am really happy that I am not in the same server with trash players like the guy who took the money.
If it was me I wouldn't even make the repairs, I would inform him first for how much he put the item up

Complete lack of sence of justice in some of todays kids... you make me sick.

THIS.

IF you said "if you would be so kind" instead of "calling GM",you have got ALL your money back.

Next time someone material melds for you, I hope they keep your Savage Might IVs.

He shouldn't have done the repair in the first place...

This is called Honor and Integrity. I’m glad to see you have some Danavia.

How did he make that money I wonder... selling parts/materials back in the start for outrageous prices only to become obsolete later? I say, retribution!

…you are so dumb. You must have been one of those noobs who bought a piece of lvl 10 gear for 70K from the wards rather than spend the time lvling your crafts and making it yourself. So now you are taking it out on the OP, and calling it Retribution? /disgust

I have almost 14 million and its not a lot.
Its hard earned money by farming and selling materials - crafted items, Levequest rewards and trying not to spend them.

Took me 1 year and some months to get that money so don't say crap like "retribution" , if you think that money is made out so easily then please go ahead and give this guy 13 of your million, youre not gonna miss it, I am sure you will make it again.

Point taken.

When it comes to materia, the agreement is that I will meld Materia to your item, there is nothing saying that I have to give the item back, thats common knowledge.
It should also be common knowledge that this guy made a mistake when he put up a repair item for that amount of money.
The guy who took the money is first class thief and there is nothing that can justify his action.

On another note, it will also be good to keep the names of the guys that support him, so anyone can know who to NOT trust in this game.

And this.

Nah, if it was common knowledge not to repair anyone's gear for them for if to me, the repairer, said "Hmm, the reward seems too outlandish, allow me to report this person to a GM, so that the proper channels can direct this fellow to a correct reward amount, but I shall not tell them, less the reward be true and I be made the fool!"
I'm sure if we all thought like that, it would be fine.
But instead, first I repair it, I collect my reward, and once one receives a a rather large reward, one usually celebrates, none of this "Haha, I stole that guys money just now."
But then, to call me a GM on me, then call me a thief, after doing nothing wrong, herp derp, man is the system sure wrong when I can reported and demonized for simply playing the game.

Sure I understand he was tired, but you don't start blaming the guy you hit after you fell asleep at the wheel, and from what I understand he still received SOME of the money back, unless I'm confused of course. Even in the days of FFXI, if someone miss-bid on certain items, every once in a while you'd be able to hear a wonder story about him getting his money back (Don't you guys dare stand up here and say "NO, FFXI community was perfect! They'd always give back whats not theirs!"), cause lets just say I even paid 500k for a stack of earth crystals, yet did I up on a high horse and say, "Hear ye hear ye! If you stole 500k from me give it back!" Cause then you'd just have a confused group of Jeuno folks.

Cause when I hear the word thief, I think of person A is scamming Person B. Not Person B made a mistake that benefited person A. Unless... Nick Zealot broke into the OP's account and put all his money into one repair...

But I think looking at those logs, it all could have been avoided if he didn't threaten to call a GM on him so quickly, soon as someone threatens to sue me, as a reasonable person, I'd stop talking to that person until proper authority looks things over and issues a rightful claim.

(@_@ all that looks a mess... I must be tired... ; ; )

[AlaulaTheGreat]

Yeah, I did buy gear once for 70k, but I'm confused how what I buy has anything to do with this. o:
And in order to properly make level 10 gear as you said, I would have to focus in on crafting for maybe 2 weeks at launch THEN when atleast 4 of my DoH and 2 of my DoL classes were around 20-30, I could comfortably play a DoW or a DoM class all by myself. But luckily, I had RL friends to shoulder the burden. :P

[urhryu]

If this guy did commit theft, etc, etc as you guys had mentioned. Don't worry too much, I believed SE won't tolerate that.
Don't you agree?
Let's just see?

[Abauge_Goga]

Why do people keep saying he didn't do anything illegal and his money is lost lol?
Anyone with integrity would go out and say "Hey bro, you are offering 14M for a repair, are you stupid?" Is it worth having your name bashed like this over 14M gil for your remaining play time with SE, which may be 2-5 years or more?
I know people that switched servers because they did stupid things or even start all over.

I think Nick has a chance to make this better by simply returning OP's gil. We all have a good laugh and the matter will be forgotten within 2 days.

Or don't, and possibly half the server in Fabul will have him blisted in 2 weeks.

Your choice dude.

[Babydoll]

How can people seriously defend the guy keeping the money? >.> Humanity is at its end lol. It is a shame that more people are not helpful, caring and kind to one another. I wouldn't call him a thief...but the way he (Nick) chose to handle the situation is really, really pathetic. He is on the same level as a thief, sure..but I would just say Nick is acting very childish and selfish.

Then again it is so much "easier" to do the wrong thing and extremely hard for some to do the right thing... I'm sorry OP that you had to come across such a person.

It is people like the guy who kept the gil why I am so meticulous and wary of most people. Not a fun way to live but when there are people like him what other choice do we have :/

[AlaulaTheGreat]

Nah, SE saying that is a theft is like they are saying they helped the thief steal it in the first place. So it is not a theft, it is well within the game's limitation that wonderful transactions like this happen everyday!

I'm sure a GM would love to send that person to in game jail or what ever this game has at the moment, but that is like sending a game designer to jail cause I accidentally vendored my scorpion harness +1 with +5 to dex augments in it signed by the dead wife of 10 years who used to play. (Thats worth about 14 mil-ish right?)

[AlaulaTheGreat]

Oh btw, take the wrong stance here, seems like you are disgusting in a certain someone's eyes~

I look forward to your continued guidance Matsume, if only they allowed it possible to know when we were quoted, I'd like to hear each and everything you had to say about me. If I were true garbage of this world, I'd have it no other way.
