I just got kicked

[Transient_Shadow]

Ok so I usually avoid FC's But recently I was met by a fun and helpful player. I joined their fc. I thought everything was going fine until I was approached with a suspicious deal. I was asked to "trade down" some gear I asked what exactly was it to be traded down then they person simply said never mind.

I was then kicked from my fc.

I feel so violated and hurt. How is "not being helpful" a good reason for a kick!?

I have literally never heard of "trade down"

well in dark souls its a concept of handing down gear to another character which involves trading with a partner. which in dark souls is completely legal. In this game however I've never once been approached for something like that. needless to say I filed a report because the moment I asked "what exactly do you need traded" they said never mind. also I'd never met this player until now

and the literal moment I filed a report I was kicked.

I was never once approached or talked to about me being disruptive or causing a problem. I've left fc's before on poor terms before but that was my own choice.

never have I ever been kicked on such shady circumstances.

This ^^ not sure what they were getting at, but it sounds like they did you a favor. It's not like you can trade anything that isn't purely levelling gear.

It also sounds really dumb because you can't trade any piece of gear that has even at least 1% of Spiritbond in this game, so it's usually impossible to do any kind of "trade down."

I think you just got unlucky and ended up in a douchey FC :/. Sorry to hear, but don't lose face. There's a bunch of nice and helpful FC's out there!

So they were nice and friendly.. but you don't feel comfy at least pm'ing someone from the fc to ask what happened or why you were kicked? :P

I dunno! Seems shady!

unlucky is correct. because I had just settled in and spent 300k gil on a room... I was scared my mind was screaming 'rmt' I don't know what it really was but all I know is I got kicked for it.

I did. I was furious and demanded and answer. and what i got was and I quote "I removed you during the preliminary time, a few people didn't like you and didn't feel like your fit in. thats all."

Sounds like there's the actual reason you were kicked. Though it doesn't show very much tact from the fc that they didn't at least talk to you about it before/after it happened. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience x_x

Allow me to explain why this isn't a good reason. In the business world you don't fire someone for "oh billy doesn't like you" that's harassment. I carry my self with dignity and repose. I was never hostile towards anyone, I was helpful ( ran dungeons with our newer members) and I was encouraging when some of our older members wanted to branch out and form their own fc.

the very accusation "you weren't helpful" will not hold up in any world of social propriety. and "some people didn't like you" is more than enough ammunition to file a report. which I did.
