No more BACKSTABBING & BETRAYAL

[Krotoan]

Your fault lies in the "but I didn't " part of your whole story. You had the chance to protect your interests. You even point out that you were aware you were leaving a risky situation open specifically but you did NOT correct it. The ONLY time I trust people online implicitly is when i know them in real life and know where they live. My FC is full of great guys and I'd gladly do almost anything and/or sacrifice time/money/gil for them. But every time I use the FC bank to transfer I accept the fact that one of them could snipe me and yoink my stuff while I relog. If I need to transfer irreplaceable items or amounts of gil I ALWAYS use a real life friend.

I commiserate with your tragedy. That really REALLY sucks what that person did and I am sorry they did it to you. But the tools to prevent it were provided, you just did not use them.

Just remember everybody:

You can't be betrayed if you have no friends.

Amen to that.

No amount of items or currency are worth betraying people... unless they sold their game stuff for real money to help pay medical bills for cancer treatment or something lol. Just screwing people to get something shiny in-game is silly. There are plenty ways to earn gil and more housing plots will be available too. My FC doesn't have much gil in the company chest. We keep by far more savings on our personal character/retainers and don't make loans.

Unfortunately some disagree...

I'm sorry this happened to you, but in truth, you stated that you made the choice not to change his rank once the plot you wanted was bought. The system wasn't broken. If you truly wanted to trust this guy with that much power within your fc, you would have done so no matter what restrictions SE placed on you. It's just something that needs to be learned from, and it's great that you shared your experience here so that others can be aware of how easy something like this can happen, but we do have the resources to keep it from happening now.

For anyone who comes across this situation in the future and feels the need to allow a lower-ranked fc member the privilege of buying and relocating housing plots or accessing gil for that purpose, then don't be afraid to lower their ranks again once the deed is done. And make sure that this player is someone who you feel absolutely no mistrust for. If you find yourself thinking that something nasty could happen, then you shouldn't be putting your trust in that person to begin with.

Such a hard way to learn a lesson. I'm sorry this happened to you, but the system works based on your actions. If you gave them permissions, then sadly you're leaving an opening. On the bright side, that person showed their true colours, so you can keep them away from you. As a future reference, be more careful with all this.

Looking forward to read your replies
Thank you all for you support.

100 Gil your "friend" is a lalafell.

100 Gil your "friend" is a lalafell.

I feel like you actually hate the people behind an in game race.

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Yeah, even tho my FC pretty much knows everyone IRL, we took the housing demolish/transfer off all but the lead rank as a precaution. Gil is still open to a few of us, but we can go slap eachother if someone jumps ship with it lol. its also only 15 ish mil, so not excessive.
