I just got kicked

[SilkaN]

no actually. A mentor would have had more tact and actually sat down to discuss why they weren't happy with what I was doing.

If you only knew...

I have had someone ask this from me before. It was for an alt character for purpose to play certain role in RP storyline. What was "traded down" was few glamour gear items that they had got and dyed correctly beforehand so as not to have to go through leveling the alt just for the dyeing purpose. Reasons vary. It's possible your way to ask what they want traded came of as annoyed (even if not intended so) and they said "never mind" just because they didn't want to bother you any more. If you then jumped into reporting them for something that would really not have been a big deal, they might have seen you as a bit hostile. Misunderstandings and all that.

I wager a mentor kicked you, who else would?

Simply not liking you, however regrettable, is a perfectly legitimate reason to kick someone from a FC. They were lame not to actually talk to you before doing it but it's their FC and nothing stops you from making your own, so the onus is on you to fit in with them if you want to be part of their little club. I'd be just as confused about 'trading down' (I don't understand why speaking in plain English is so hard for people) but it doesn't sound especially shady.

You'll find a better FC. One which fits you and doesn't force you act in a way you're not comfortable with.

thanks. I apologize for coming off as hostile. I was so blindsided by the kick that I didn't know what to feel. I never told anyone about the report and was waiting for a GM (I honestly was just scared of a rmt) when the kick happened. I was never told about a trial period or what was expected in the FC I was just let in by a different and much friendlier person who was a lot of help in my dps training.

I waited to buy a room and felt especially cheated when I was kicked not even an hour after I settled in.

Something just occurred to me. This "person I've never seen before" might have just as well been the main character of someone who had recently been playing their alt a lot. So while you had been nice and helpfull in their presence earlier, you seemingly suddenly turned (seemingly) annoyed/hostile. As for the trade down as a concept, there's nothing against it in this game, by the way. It's not made easy, true, and if it concerned large amount of money, shards or such, it might be on the suspicious side. But if someone just wants to move random selection of inconsequent gear pieces on occasion there is no cause for alarm. Also, the people who report someone are not told about the outcome of the report. Additional information might be requested if necessary but not always. Its totally possible however that GM had contacted (or even punished) the guy you reported. Getting or attempting to get someone punished for no reason tends to be perceived badly.

That's just it! I asked them what they wanted to trade and they wouldn't tell me! ;-; they just said never mind and I got scared. the report was to clear up any doubts. I was going to ask if there was anything going on but before I could get any answers I was kicked.

Step 1: get "never mind" (possibly meaning, "oh, sorry that I bothered")

Step 2: report the person

Step 3: ask what it was actually about

You jumped the gun and wonder why they felt threatened? If you have fate in them, you dont use report as first tool, you ask first. If you don't have fate in them, why do you care they didn't have fate in you either.

This is what baffles me the most in this thread. Also, there is nothing in this whole situation to be reported to the GM. There was no harassment. A misunderstanding that ended in a bad way, happens all the time. You get up and move on.

Ok I'm sorry. I'm in the wrong and I got what I deserved. can a mod please close this thread now?
