Urat, you were a friend of mine in game, so please, take my advice. Don't say anything.
That's the advice. Don't say anything.
You're not a bad guy. You're enthusiastic. You seem to mean well, despite how things turn out in practice. But, you talk inappropriately. I don't want
you to become the next QCDN pariah. You might think it's too late, but it isn't. You can save your entire FFXI reputation. It's not too late. All you have to do is shut up. I mean that in a nice way. You're in quicksand, and you need not die. I'm tossing you a rope called shut up. Seriously.
If you let this drop, if you keep yourself out of trouble, people will forget. Don't make exaggerate. Don't post ideas for things you can't do yet. Don't talk. You have friends. You have a linkshell. You have tells. Stick to that for quite a while. I'm watching you destroy yourself and it isn't fun.
You seem to have a great need to prove yourself. I can understand. You were a mid level character in a social shell of 75s. You don't have to prove anything. Don't act big. You don't need to act big. You want to be popular? You can be. Try modesty. Seriously. Some people in FFXI are assholes. The won't be worthwhile no matter what they do. You're not. However, your FFXI social skills need a lot of work. Don't you see what you're making people think of you?
Lay low. If you think you don't need to lay low any longer, lay low another month after that. If you absolutely must post, keep it non XI. Keep it modest. You can be likable. Be likable. Nobody cares about accomplishments when they decide who to be friends with. I had lots of friends and no accomplishments. Just be modest. QCDN will appreciate you for it. FFXI will appreciate you for it. Don't try and stick yourself in the top tier. You won't be till you hit 75 and merit to no end and do endgame stuff. If you try, people will resent you for it. You don't want to be, and don't deserve to be, resented. So for god's sake, stick to your strong suits and stop the know it all business.
Let your name fall off the FFXI radar. Come back with a second chance and you'll be just fine. You're no where near as great as you give the impression you are in your dialogues here and in game. You're no where near as bad as the people here think you are because of your actions. So anyway. Save yourself, because if you become the next FFXI outcast, you'll probably end up quitting. How much fun would that be? If you think there's glory in being the single persecuted victim, there isn't. I hope you take my advice and drop into the shadows till the smoke clears.
