Find me in game.

Just so that you guys are aware, this Demetri Delethorn person has been going around scamming people by asking in shout chat if anyone with some "christmas spirit" could help him out by giving him a relic precursor (he claims not to have enough gil to buy one for himself) so that he can then turn around and sell it on the market board. This has happened to me and other people as well. He has already been reported to a gm by multiple people, but I came here to let you guys know that you should be VERY careful when it comes to trusting this person.

Well that is depressing... I remember in FFXI, how the Japanese players used to shame individuals for this by making exact replicas of the user's avatar and placing them around Jeuno so everyone knew what they looked like. Fun times.

I think there's a bit of confusion here that needs cleared up prior to a witch-hunt. I asked ONCE in Mor Dhona if anyone could help me out. Two people responded and yes, I got two staves, materia and all. I was extremely grateful to both parties for taking their time to help me, because yeah: I'm pretty broke in-game and it sucks. I wound up with an unmelded (is that what you call them without materia?) staff as well, which I opted to have melded (?) by a friend because they're into that sort of crafting thing. So yeah, I had two spares. To say that I've gone around scamming people (which would imply that I have essentially robbed people in that I took their items without giving them some sort of money/item in return via a trick, even though it was pretty clear these were acts of kindness and mercy) is extremely misleading.

I appreciated the time you took to make me a staff, Mikh'a, and I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm happy with how it all turned out (I didn't expect anyone to put forth kindness, much less more than one person), but I can't sit by and have you label me as some pathological scam artist. I haven't the brains nor the mindset for such an operation. Even so, I'm not so stupid as to risk my account for, what, a hundred thousand gil? I play the game every day, love it, and (perhaps laughably, depending on the person you ask) have put quite a bit of money into it (bought a platinum wedding package just yesterday, dig the dress!).

I don't go around breaking rules, but I'm happy to know that I may wind up banned for a massive misunderstanding. If I somehow am able to stick around, I'll be sure not to seek out help beyond closer friends.

Your achievements state that you completed your relic quest on the 30th of November. Why then, were you asking for relic precursors on the evening of the 9th of December? Nice try though

Maybe I have an alt? Maybe a friend? Regardless, there's no legally binding contract that states I have to do anything specific with that staff.

Convincing a personal army to report me based on one side of a biased story is horrific at best, especially when scamming wasn't involved. Nobody scammed anyone out of anything.

By the way, I asked for a relic precursor. Notice the singular form, not the plural.

You led me to believe that you wanted the precursor for yourself.

You are correct though, you were under no obligation to actually use staff for your relic, but you did behave dishonestly. And that is not really a trait that I think people care for in a free company leader.
