Ok so here's the deal;
We all know how utterly useless GM's are in FFXI. We all know they have near zero knowledge of the game and have an utter lack of compassion and understanding when it comes to all things game orientated. It pisses us all off but it can sure provide us all with some quality entertainment!
If you have a story about something idiotic a GM has said or done to you or anyone else in the past, post it here. Whether it was three years ago or three minutes ago, post it and I'll keep updating this main post to include them all and hopefully we can make a nice sticky.
I know of past instances myself (such as a GM telling someone to delete his account because he got stuck in sky) but I'll start it fresh here and just add on whatever people have posted. Even if you posted it before, do so again here. The more of the story you have the better. Screenshots aren't 100% necessary I guess but some validity is needed to stop this becoming a bunch of hearsay.
And finally, if any pictures posted are in jeopardy of going down, make a note of it in your post and I'll re-host it.
GM gives a lesson on how Phantom Worm is popped
Gilsellers stole Phantom Worm and a GM was naturally called.

Nice to see them earning their money!
Preventing the masses popping Absolute Virtue
Apparantly trying to figure out how to legitimatly kill the hardest NM in the game for the good of everyone is worthy of banning an entire linkshell!

The queue of people trying to pop Jailer of Love in the entire 56 hour period he was up peaked at an almighty zero.
GM teaches us about racism
The conversation;
1 | 2 | 3
So all a GM has to do for his money is to know and enforce the ToS, right? Wrong. Oh well, the guy was clearly lying anyway! lol!
This doesn't even need a title/intro lol

"I think it was... Yuriku that this happened to and I vaguely remember this so I'll try my best:
So she was seeing someone use some sort of hack tool and called a GM... the GM looked at chat log and noticed she had JP characters in her macro... the GM then banned her for a day or so for possibly using 3rd party tools to have JP characters in her macros and did nothing about the hacker."
Double standards

NA linkshell Valor claims Fafnir and doesn't want to kill it. This is seemingly ok because the Japanese do it all the time on Midgard with no consequences.
Some Japanese linkshell steals Fafnir by spamming provoke on it. It was ganked so fast that nobody even saw it white.
NA linkshells work together and steal it back by using Cure IV + Invincible at the tail cause the enite Japanese linkshell to flail.
[GM]Danuve puts all the NA linkshells in mordion for three hours despite the fact that the Japanese linkshell had done it to them for the past three days in a row and suffered no punishment of any kind.
The fact that a Square rep said "well, Danuve IS Japanese... not that has anything to do with it..." just about says it all. Yes Mr. Square Rep, we're all sure that it had nothing to do with it!!!
And to make it just that little bit funnier, a JP member of one of the NA linkshells was let go instantly.
The dumbest GM epitomized
Taj pos hacked into the unreleased Alzadaal Undersea Ruins and called a GM to get him out expecting to get banned.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bigrussta/gmlol5sp.png
So not only did he not get banned for blatently hacking into an unreleased area but when he told the GM he had done it, isntead of thinking "wow, I'm gonna ban this guy" he tells him to submit a bug report. What a fuckwit.
"oops lawl"
Someone forgot to turn something on!
Is there anything they can actually do right?
[GM]Spynner shares his knowledge with us

Easiest job interviews in the world?
Shouldn't they be required to know reasons for a GM called before they're given the hazing red and silver dunce cap to wear?
