V. Claw stolen by LittleamigoFollow

Just a heads up to y'all...

Last night (2 am PST), my friend Kisho was looking for a crafter to make a SH out of his V. Claw and he found Littleamigo. Littleamigo said that he had 97 <Bonecraft> and 60 <Leathercraft>... so Kisho saw this as a good bet at success (hell, maybe even a +1).

Kisho traded the V. Claw + a 50k fee and oddly enough, the red DC sign appeared next to Littleamigo right after the trade was complete. Kisho stayed around waiting for him to log back in and/or for a GM to help him out. Neither of these happened, of course...

Littleamigo logged back in earlier today, and was pretending to be AFK and ignoring all /tell's. People may have heard the /shout's in Port Jeuno warning about Littleamigo who promptly ran to log out in front of the AH. I assume he put the V. Claw up for sale or sent it to a mule (i've heard that Smalleramigo and Roxi are his mules...) or to a friend.

I have also heard that he got booted from his LS for this (by the LS leader, whom i feel does not need to be involved here) , but I just wanted everyone else to be aware of his/her actions and be cautious in the future. We don't need to hear about Kisho shouldn't have trusted L.amigo and all that... we get it. :P Hopefully a GM will be able to fix this and we can move on.
Who knows, maybe Littleamigo will have the guts to own up to what he/she did and return it? >.> <.<


<Peace> <out>

What's the point of working to become a high level crafter, if no one is expected to be able trust anyone else in the slightest ?


I'm unsure if SE has a "no-scam" part to their rules. From past user comments, it seems to me like they're not too big on checking logs to see anything (what with the "oh, I wasn't there" type stuff -_-)... bleh.


Good luck to your friend.

Hey no there's nothing wrong with being trusting. I'm sure people here appreciate the warning, I know I do. But this is a possibility every time you deal with a, well, stranger.

I know it's pathetic people in a game can't be trusted but this just keeps happening. And it's been happening far too often. Mostly because it's so easy for a person to lie in this game. Here use this:

It's just as easy for these people to lie too but call it a hunch that they're a bit more reliable. :p

And I think Gamion is right about that contract post. I can't find it, but someone posted here how they reported a thief to a GM and he or she got the item back. Make sure you tell Kisho to report him and explain the situation, because there's a chance the item will be returned. Give it a shot anyway, the more people brought to justice the less we have to worry about thieves like this.

lol, of all the things to ***** your reputation, why steal a v.claw. if you're gonna go stealing you might as well steal something worthwhile, like a kraken.

Well, it seems that the GM(s) who dealt with it decided to just give him a SH instead... must say that I'm impressed he got anything. As for Littleamigo, I have yet to see him/her (or the mules) online since then. I don't know if he/she was suspended or anything, but whatever... point is that Kisho recouped what he lost. ^^b

And to the person that asked, I'm posting this in place of Kisho because he dosen't have / want to make an account on here (i dunno why...) so I told him I'd help get the word out for him.

Lol even though you say you are sorry your rep on bismarck is pretty much ruined. You cant just expect to be forgiven for what ya did and for people to pretend that it never happened. You will always be known as a Thief and that will never change now matter how sorry you are.

Well this is a good way to make an exit. I saw a humorous post a little bit ago about a guy who came up with a fun solution to solve his ffxi addiction.

He had tried to quit before and ended up coming back, so he decided to go out with a bang. He sent a tell to GMs saying he was about to mpk people in yhoator jungle, then he went on a rampage there and when the GMs showed up he just made fun with them and actually it was really funny. He got put in jail and suspended for a bit, not banned.

So on his return, he sent a few more GM calls, such as 'will have sex for gil' and when the GMs showed up more humor ensued. Anyway, eventually he got perma banned, after saying goodbye to his friends. So.... if you really wanna quit, use this to your advantage! It will be a lot easier to quit when youre not missed

Fyn

lmfao

I finally know how I'm gonna quite when that time comes.

Oh, I know, just mentioned it from stuff I've seen in the past in case it began to turn into something like that. I wasn't accusing :P just mentioning. ^^

You guys are really hard on this guy, he gave the damn claw back. Isn't that the right thing to do? You realy should keep ridiculing him like this, he deserves some dignity. He admitted he was wrong, apologized, gave it back...

If you ask me anyone who looks down upon him is the one who should be ashamed of themselfs.

Ok, I'll give you that. If someone nukes the state of pennsylvania and kills 3 million people I think there is a line there. But no matter how addicting it is, this is still a "game" and everyone deserves to enjoy it all the same.

And even with the 3 million people dead, no one can "give that back" but if theoretically their lives could be "given back" my theory would still work? I dunno just thinking a little there.

Peace.

True, but like I said, there has to be 'some' point to draw the line. That is where the rules in the ToS are defined.
