You know, when I'm out an about on BST (or any job) in the game, I try to help people along the way if I can make time to do so. BST EXP isn't exactly fast, so I don't mind terribly to help a PT out of a jam or whatever, its not going to break my progress by much.
So I had my GC coffer key, soloed it myself on Hellmines in GC - scary for any other job my level, but doable since I can create mindless minions for my own purposes. Got the key on first kill after I logged in, in fact.
So I start roaming between the banishing gates, checking behind #3 first. Since just logging in and out and checking there isn't much of an interesting evening to me, I move on to check gate #2.
Get the gate #2 and no one's really there to open the gate, so I poke around and get some light EXP off the bats, explosures, beetles, skeles and what not. BLM and MNK run by and the BLM is getting beaten down hard. They go further past the switches and the BLM dies. MNK now has skeleton aggro.
In short, I take some links, heal the MNK and raise the BLM.
Good deed, right?
Some short time later while the BLM is in the corner resting, a PLD at half HP turns the corner with a mass swarm of bats, MNK jumps into the fray and is getting beaten sensless. I proceed to help control the pet population by charming and using Leave to despawn the bats in question, then follow up with some Cure IIIs. They thank me.
Good deed, right?
Just so happens we now have four people in the vicinity of the switches. We can open a gate and...
They tell me to go away so they can get in the gate with no competition for the coffer. The same exact MNK I saved twice over moments ago. And then a RNG buddy of hers comes in to try to impose this as well. While it is true I did need the coffer chest, I was also there to see the potential for camping back there. The mobs are comprable to the chamber beetle camp in the first basement.
I could have tried to explain that to them, that I didn't need the coffer ASAP and could just wait back there while I EXPed, but it was clear they just now saw me as some evil coffer-popping thief for just wanting to go behind the gate. God forbid I get some EXP and get my AF later as a perk.
I didn't budge from leaving because I didn't have to. I'm just really amazed by the gall those people had to turn around and act like that. At least the BLM and PLD were nice about it and didn't harass me. They finally broke down and opened the door when I called their bluff on "we have have all day to wait." I proceed to go in and start having a look around at pets
BLM gets the coffer, and the RNG proceeds to rub it in my face. Like I really care. Good for the BLM. I don't think I would have raised him in the first place if I was blackhearted enough to refuse helping known competition.
I swear there are days people in this game make the RMT look like saints. Oh well, makes future my merit PTs easier to build.

It's really disturbing when I've been camping an NM for a couple hours and some guy just shows up out of nowhere and sends me a tell claiming that the NM "belongs" to him (as if to act like he'd been there all along when I *KNOW* he just got there, to say nothing that you simply cannot lay claim to an NM before it pops anyway).
