bst meanies!

[Omni]

i play bst myself. only lvl 25 and i love the job. here goes...
i had a run in with some really mean bst and i wanted to know are these just some random assholes that happened to play bst or do bst tend to do this in general?

i was camping aquarius b/c i wanted the axe for my rng. there were 5 other ppl camping it. a pt of 3 bst and a pt of rdm + rng. i was alone. the bsts kept examining me so i asked them, if they needed the axe. i got no reply. so i sent them kind /tell asking them if they would like to team up if they didnt need the axe and that i had no intention of trying to get damascene cloth. still no answer. after a half hr, aquarius had popped on the other side of the tree and the pt of rdm and rng had claimed him fair and square. they did not take him from a pet swap or anything like that, they tagged him as he popped.

they were taking a beating from aquarius and both were in orange hp range. both are 73+ players. i quickly telled the rdm if they needed help, and if so, id tank it for them. they brought me into their pt and i began to fight it as usual. then all of a sudden 2 of the bst came over with their korrigans and released them next to us. there were also a lvl 50ish pt there lvling and watching by the tunnel entrance. the korrigan aggrod one of the lv. 50s and killed him. i began to run around, moving aquarius away from the bst but they kept following us and releasing their korrigans. they ended up killing the rng mid-way thru the battle but by that time it had turned night and my af boots kicked in. they managed to aggro me with their korrigans but i ran away and lost aggro while the rdm kept claim. this happened for about 20 minutes, they kept chasing us and harassing us the whole fight until the end when they figured that they couldnt kill me. i made a gm call but no on replied for more than 30min. there were about 8 witnesses and most of them were shouting the names of the bst and how they were trying to mpk us.

is this normal practice for bst?! or was this just a case of running into some asshole bst? i hear a lot about bst mpk ppl but to harass us for 20+ minutes is not even funny, its just mean. i know some of you wouldnt do such a thing but this just really pissed me off.

The latter... my God, the latter...

The thing is, having access to a high level beastmaster is like having access to a dangerous semi-automatic gun. They are BY FAR the most lethal MPK'ers in the game. The user has to be a responsible person, and not abuse their power. Unfortunatley, you play FFXI... and not all people are on the up and up.

Bottom line, they were assholes... in the most extreme way. Anyone who would bring 2 Korrigans down to camp Aquarius has bad intentions... no question about that. A) Korrigans/mandragora types make lousy pets. B) there are plenty of non-aggressive pets they could bring, that are just as strong, if not stronger than the Korrigans. Blood balls, Darters, skimmers, etc. They charmed the korrigans to MPK if they lost pull, no question.

Sorry there are people like that out there. Too bad the GM didnt do anything... /shocked

[Macht]

Yeah, just what Gman. That was an unfortunate encounter with a couple of real jerks.

[Jei]

are those BST gilsellers?

[Macht]

It's a possibility if they brought Korrigans with the planned intent it seemed they had.

[Gman]

Thing that I dont get is why they would put themselves in danger with the Korrigans. Even 2 of those wouldnt last long against aquarius, and they would have to release them to swap pets, opening themselves up to aggro. Stupid... just stupid.

Oh, and Jei, I doubt they were gilsellers unless they were bought accounts. No gil seller would have the patience to get BST to 73+.

lol. word.

Well, if you look at it from a personality type of view...why were they playing BST? It was probably because they were known gimps while leveling whatever job to 30....They said, hey....look, I don't have to party w/ these losers...I can just solo to 75. Also, they were probably enamored at the fact that most BSTs have mroe gil than the average player. They're probably selfish people, and have many problems in real life. Sad thing is.....why do people show who they really are on a video game. On another note, you could probably REALLY screw with their heads, because people like that seem defensive. Do a /shout in Lower Jeuno....in fact, get your whole LS to do a whole shout. More than likely they'll quit the game if enough people call out their bad actions. These people are probably middle-school kids, looking for a good laugh trying to entertain themselves. So have fun, don't get mad....screw w/ them mentally if you can. ヽ(｀д´)ノ

i had a few bad experience with bst while lvling bst. i was 38 expin in SSG. an a lvl 75 bst with a C.C did nothing but clear the entire area of all mobs. an honestly it seemed like they only targeted mobs i was expin off of. they left the bats an the leechs, but killed the ghasts, the ironshells an the sahagins.

your attack sounded like pure greed. upset they lost claim. the Korrigans where never ment to kill aquarius. but those who won the claim. i still dont know what mine was all about. bst hazing ??? lol who knows.

the only time i seen bst mpk on my servers was to piss of the people camping amemet for 24 hours straight. im curious did you guys kill it, or did you guys just try to get out of there alive ???

little ninja, i have trouble understanding what you say sometimes b/c you tend to write in broken sentences. but here goes.

my atk was out of greed? i dont see how that is. if you read my first post i explained what happened. the rdm and rng that won the pull fair and square when aquarius initially popped. they DIDNOT take him on a pet swap. both of them were taking a serious beating from aquarius so i offered to help. before they invited me, i stated that i was looking for the axe and that if damascene cloth dropped, it would be all theirs. i had no intention on making money off this, i just wanted the rare.ex axe for my rng. so i dont see where my greed came into play here. the rng already had fransica and the rdm didnt want it so they would have thrown it away anyhow since the axe is 100% drop.

we beat aquarius after being harrased for over 20minutes. it turned night time mid way thru the fight so my boots helped a lot. i was provoking and running aquarius back and forth after they released their korrigans. since it takes a few momments for monsters to aggro you after its released, i waited for their release each time before i moved aquarius again. there was no way i would let these assholes have their way. even after i got aggro from 1 korrigan + 2 linked mandies (forge the name) they still couldnt finish me off. i ran around the tunnels till i lost aggro while the rdm kept claim on aquarius.

axe, crab shell, crab meat and 6k gil is all that dropped.

Omni, Im 99.99% sure he meant they tried to MPK you out of greed, aka the BST's were at fault. You just misread I believe.

[Haraiitsu]

Just sounded like jealous people to me, they were annoyed you got there first and couldn't handle it like most so tried to get some lame revenge instead f waitin for the next spawn.

People like these are the ones who let down online gaming and give it a bad reputat

now that i had some sleep. it seems the bsts got mad when they saw you join the other 2 players in the orange. they saw their chances of an easy kill go byebye. an thus tried to mpk you. by then they were fiiled with pure greed an anger. that they were gonna make you guys pay. im glad they didnt win.. so ummm did you win loot on the axe ???

no need for apologies omni. i know my grammer is just horrid. but i think thats because i think alot faster then i can type. come to think of it. my spelliing is sucky as well... hmm english classes {yes, please}

[Jei]

haha I know what you mean ^^ I got into a lot of heated discussion too lately. Only after a few hours later that I realized I should have said something totally different.
