When spreding cheer and goodwill on christmas day can get you in trouble

[Oldschoolegamer38]

I was handing out cookies to folks in Limsa when a person whom I never interacted with came up to me and said "idc, go away, or get reported for harassment" When do folks say enough is enough with 4heads like this? all I was doing was spreading good cheer to folks and giving cookies out to others. So I stopped and left limsa....what a way to spoil things for others who only have good intentions. I would name and shame them but I would get in trouble.

i can see how it could be annoying for people who are busy with their own agenda or people whose heads are full with other stuff, but thats the forst time i hear of such a reaction. after all it takes only like 10seconds to take it. no big deal

I didn't melt down I was more like wtf why? I was just handing out Christmas cookies and wishing folks a merry Christmas why would I be the one melting down???

You have a very odd idea of what a meltdown is if you think that’s one.

Were you randomly forcing trades? That's annoying. Just shout that you're giving cookies away; that way only those interested would interact with you.

This, pretty much. Might not get so many people accepting them but at least the people who get them also want them.

I like giving away things, too, and the method above is my go to. FF14 community isn't the first one I have spread some of my extras either. In comparison I'd say FF14 community is not the most excited about free stuff. Maybe it is the servers i have presence on, or the time, or my face, but any time I try to get rid of anything by giveaway I usually won't end up getting rid of the thing I tried to get rid off.

And like, few years ago I tried to even giveaway whole FC with small house :'D
No takers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But on positive last note, I still like Pugy Puk minion a lot, my first minion ever and it was given to me by random person in town. And my lastest alt got Trike, which was very nice. The benefactor of that Trike just ran after my sprout face at Roots Lake/South Shroud and /tell'd: "Dino friend!!"

Don't listen to them. People here get their knickers in a twist if a pull takes 20 seconds longer.

I think it's lovely and what MMOs are about. Bad apples are everywhere, unfortunately.

This time of year means different things to different people. Not everyone is ready to deal with all that in game, especially on a day where they might have been with family.

Sometimes we just wish our closest family could still be with us and join us.

After losing my sister to breast cancer, I shifted from the "yay xmas" side to the "damn, this time of year is tough" side.

One can put on a brave face. and be nice to strangers, but by gosh, that grief gets tough at this time of year.

(Still no cause for OP's grump to be a grump though - sometimes this community just sucks)
