I got mistaken as a Japanese player ><

[Altae]

So, one day I've finally decided to camp Leaping Lizzy for a pair of bounding boots. While doing so, a simple emote created quite an unnecessary outburst. And apparently, this certian individual hasn't breathed the outside air for a while.

If you view the images, and cannot read the text, be sure to click on the image a bit to zoom and smooth out the quality. They're full sized screenshots, as if you were playing the game itself in the screenshots.

And the focus of attention here is Teknetic, of Midgardsormr.

Yes I've even had a run in with him. He was at Serket and when we were done killing it him and his partner got aggro. I healed him so he would live and during that time his partner got aggro and slept it. Then he got aggro again so they had 3 beetles on them. He kills the beetle he as working on and gets aggro AGAIN. So I cast sleep at the same time he does and heal him through the next beetle. But now my LS needs me and I must leave so I warp out as he kills the beetle he's on and then the next one wakes up. It runs over to me as I'm warping and hits me and then goes to him. He starts running around saying I'm MPK'ing him and then I'm in Jeuno. He could easily have slept them and warp himself and his friend out. I don't even want to discuss the rest. He's an immature a-hole.

I'm sorry you had to endure that Altae. ; ;

Yeah, depending on who go to the word "Jap" can be considered racist and with the recent changes to the ToS if it's pushed enough the guy could likely get banned for using that word.

It's funny but you can't even use that word on the Playstation Message boards it bleeps it out.

the word IS racist.

"Jap" is just as bad as "Chink" or even the N-word

I know it is. My experience though has stated that not a lot of people realize it is, they think Jap is proper way to abreviate Japanese when it should be JP.

Double Post Edited:
Take that into consideration and realize the GMs you talk to may not be Japanese, but Amercians (or the like) that would also think Jap is an abbreviation for Japanese and that were I come up with stating that it can be considered.

It's really messed up but not everyone realizes what is a racist word and what isn't. In the way that guy used it though he knew it was racist.

Should have made a GM call on him; they're willing to crack down on racial comments like that.

Yup, since the last patch the GMs are extra sensative to stuff people say. A friend of mine got sent to jail because he had 'wee wee' in his comment (don't ask).
