Divorce...

[Brill_]

they shouldnt change it, maybe it'll open some eyes so people think twice before getting married in real life!

Huh. MMO gamers get married in real life!?

I imagine this is part of the reason they have pay options, to make you think about whether you actually want to spend real money on them.

Im not sure how they can really harrass you. They have a ring on a 30 minute cooldown that lets them teleport to you, that's not that much worse than someone just /searching you and teleporting to the zone you are in.

There's supposed to be an npc to annul the wedding anyway, not as simple as throw away the ring. Not sure who or where it is, but go talk to the npc's around the chapel and see if there's a way to properly divorce yourself.

You reap what you sow, dear friend. Hope you have learned a lesson and let your story opens the eyes of those who wish to marry just because of the item and don't give a second thought of to whom they will marry.

But guys they were in love.

I don't get it.....how are they affecting you in anyway? What does being married in the game actually do besides allow you to teleport to that person with the ring? I thought it was all for show

which is the issue he's pointing out. if the relationship turns sour, one of the spouses can stalk the other.

Finally someone gets it. More than half these posts are about my own situation which I could care less about since, as I pointed out, I married a friend. My issue is the fact that the system can easily be abused due to the fact that Person A can still utilize the full benefits of the marriage despite Person B having a divorce. Being able to have someone you dont like teleport to you INSTANTLY every 30 mins vs someone having to search an entire map for you is completely different.
I get it, I reap what I sow... which isn't much of anything since it was a FRIEND and it was for shits and giggles, as well as gil. This is addressed to individuals with actual relationships that can go downwind.

Because you edited your post when everyone posted already.

Also you say you don't care if you get stalked by a friend but then again you care?

You make no sense, you say that is can be abused when and where and who?

If you say your friend then you don't mind which isn't a issue and It sounds like you are making a issue out of a drop of milk, its not like everyone is gonna do what your friend did and refuse to drop a ring.

Are you simply trying to ruin the teleporting option for others by trying to make it a issue?

You are still missing my point: I care about this issue because it is a FLAW in the system that can ALLOW POSSIBLE harassment.

Who can it be abused by? Obviously you and many others have not taken the time to read my posts. I've said it again, and again, that it is possible this can be abused by individuals who wish to harass other players. For the 3rd time on this forum, I give my example: Person A and Person B are in a relationship. They marry in game. Relationship goes sour and Person A decides to leave person B entirely, but Person B is an asshole and decides to stalk Person A in game by utilizing the eternity ring.

I am not making a big deal out of this, when it is an issue that is already existant IN REAL LIFE. We don't need this kind of nonsense IN GAME. I don't know if you have ever had a relationship go bad, but people are only human. There is BOUND to be somebody who would maliciously use this function. I know I am not addressing the majority here, as most people who have went through with the marriage system are probably in a healthy relationship - be it friendship or love - with the other individual, but this is a loophole which could give fire to UNHEALTHY relationships.

No, I am not "trying to ruin the teleporting option for others". The teleporting system is a great benefit to players who are married. Am I trying to ruin the teleporting option for potential harassers? Yes.

They think everyone is gonna stalk, though it wont happen.

The guy already stated he doesn't mind his friend stalking him, which makes it a non issue but then accuses everyone that they will stalk and it will be a issue when it hasn't even happened.

Do tell me where I said EVERYONE is going to stalk each other. I think you are taking my point a bit too personally, since I never once said that this would be abused by EVERYONE to harass individuals. I like logic, not emotion. Why wait for an incident to happen before you fix it, when it could be adverted entirely?

An ulterior motive that seemed to backfire? I'm sure if you put in a ticket to explain the situation, there is the possibility that they might nullify the capabilities, but you can't refute the fact that you entered into this virtual pact for all the wrong reasons. The other person paid the fees (ed. traded real money for in game glamour items - within the boundaries of the rules of the game, since it was through the Mog Station) and you reaped the benefits. Other than all the stuff you got courtesy of this persons real money, there was only one thing that they could expect in the end - to teleport to you every 30 min. There's no shared gil, property, or items.

The reaction you are giving here is why they haven't made it so that an eternally bonded couple can't dip into each other's things. I'll be honest, I never thought about someone actually entering into the eternal bonding system for the sake of stuff like you did. Ugh.

[edited to add] I actually know someone in game who did stuff in real life for the sake of gil then regretted the outcome as well. I should be shocked by what you did, but knowing someone who promised nude photos in trade for gil... Well, I guess RMT pales in comparison. The lesson here isn't that SE needs to fix the divorce system, it's in the motivation that drives someone who wants a piece of glamour gear so bad that they are willing to take advantage of someone else to get it, then they don't want to suffer the consequences.
