Jaded GM, or end of shift?

[Elesirdur]

That GM is a complete dick and his unprofessional behavior is exactly what this game does not need. Granted, the call was foolish because if the mob goes yellow there's no ToS violation, just some bad etiquette (but given how Ulli's been the last year I can easily say that I would gank a yellow Ulli from even a legit LS).

Regardless, if these GMs are being paid to be the representatives of SE in Vana'diel then this kind of flippant and disrespectful behavior is totally unacceptable. The players are the customers and customers should be treated with respect and courtesy. GM's have a bad enough rep as being uncaring and ineffective and actions such as this are inexcusable. If I was this guy's supervisor you can bet he would be disciplined or released from his contract. I've disciplined and fired past employees of mine when I was working retail management for just this kind of thing and it's not like customers were paying $12.95 a month to get into my store.

We keep playing and keep paying, including yourself? Apparently it is acceptable... and hilarious.

Any customer-service employee at any company is going to give some annoying, typical, complaining customer some lip at one point in their lives, I don't care where you work, this one just happened to get screenshot'd. I've worked retail management as well, and I sure as hell have treated a moron customer like the moron they were before, unlucky for them. Unless you release some steam in some way during the job, it's going to come out on one random, unsuspecting dipshit who pushes your buttons. None of you are his boss so none of you should give a damn, lol?

I liked the part where people said they should send screenshots showing tparty to SE to complain about GM's.

Working retail management is -nothing- compared to working tech support for a MMORPG. The amount of bullshit you have to deal with in this game...just whoa. In retail it's a whole other game and there at least you have a measure of power to deal with it. In game GM's hands are tied unless it's a JP GM employed by SE and they don't deal with english speakers.

I must give the GM a hand. It was a stupid call, the people who made it had to know that the GM couldn't do shit and the reply to the "Why don't you do something about the f'n RMT's blah blah blah." was priceless because reguardless of all they do, we can't prove it's a RMT.

Why waste time unless it's something they can do? We need to spend more time trying to get SE to create a server wide event where you can attack other players like they were mobs in return for a level one headband that offers Flee every two days. Then during the two week run, we can all spend our time mowing down RMT's.

ok it looks like i got to post since it looks like some ppls didnt get it.....

1st i didnt want that to be posted here purposely cuz i knew 80% or more of the answers would be totally stupid or not worth it thx to my buddy drinkhinn that takes too much initiative sometimes.....

2nd i didnt call the GM for the mob steal thats what almost everyone got wrong, i called it cuz it went unclaimed while it shouldnt have, even if the nin that had hate d/ced we still had Bio Posoin and Frost on it, our rdm kept spamming all kind of DoT and our blm was regulary stuning it so it simply shouldt have unclaimed thats why i called the GM

3rd zigma, my name isnt Sonofabitch but Symanovitch if you cant read that then better get your glasses thx

You think this game would have boosted people's grammar's levels by now....

[Lordwafik]

You sure you're playing FF to come to that conclusion?

[Symanovitch]

im sorry if my grammar doesnt suit to you, im french not english or NA, the day you speak french as good as i speak english you come criticing my grammar

[Spoony Bob]

I haven't done the HNM thing (as HNM as Ulli can be) all that much, but if you're kiting something, or really any instance of a fight, and someone with claim starts DCing, isn't it obvious that it's going to go yellow? Unless action is taken against the monster from a few seconds after someone drops, that's just what happens, regardless of DoTs i thought. Isn't that how it's always been? Bet you wished you'd have cast bio when the guy dropped now, huh?

[Lithiani]

Why on earth are you kiting Ulli? You'll be telling me you kite Despot next.

1) /blockaid on

2) It's not uncommon for mobs to go unclaimed when the player with hate dies or disconnects. Congratulations on finally learning that... the hard way.

3) Learn how to speak to a GM with some respect and they might feel more inclined to help you out, instead of bitching "yes give me back my stone" "rules rules bla bla you guys dont do anything about gil sellers" If you notice, that's right when he gave you the attitude right back.

4) Haha.

[Miruka]

Mobs normally lose claim after a short delay if the last thing that acted on them dies or otherwise disappears, right? I think I lost Xolotl at 3% like that once.

[Lordwafik]

That would be the case if we were on a french orientated forum, but we're not.

Regardless of if that was true or not,

Incorrect. I can cheerfully duplicate your loss of hate without even trying, and do so regularly when kiting. On the Al Zahbi- Nashmau ship, wait for one of the sea monk monsters to spawn. Gravity it. DoT it. Run the monster around for a few laps. Heck, nuke it a few times for good measure. That's how I used to kill the things on the ferry when I skilled up on the crabs and built up my Apkallu hate to max.

Eventually, it'll lose track of you and go yellow again, even though DoT's are still running on the monster in question. I've sat there with Poison II ticking away on a monk that was yellow as can be, placidly sitting in one place doing nothing whatsoever- I've even seen them wearing off half a minute or more afterwards. Applying a new DoT or other source of hate will cause it to go red and aggro, of course.

Your situation is not that of a unique little snowflake's.

[Lordwafik]

The reason d/c or death causes yellow targetry is because the monster loses it's current target and for a second has no valid targets. It's retarded, but it's not the same as DoT run glitch (which I hate, I'm trying to solo Ulli PH's then they just depop on me).

Wafik summed it, your example was pretty much a fail according to Syman's response of them spamming the DoT on it. Sounds like you DoT then run and no longer act on it. That's how it sounds...

I've kited Despot... when I solo it on BST and theres greedy-ass players waiting for a pet swap and it to go yellow, COME ON its such an easy pop let me have the fucking sycthe.

Archantion's in somebody's sig with a quote "Are you a na player?" (as written)

I met gm Xojana last night because some up-and-coming gilsellers happened to be exping on top of my pt(was leveling rdm@VoS) and one of them had a bazcom that read "KILLJAPANESE KILLJAPANESE F U C K JAPANESE"

Figured it was an easy opportunity to get some flag on a future gilseller's acct and I was right :D nice gm popped up, talked to me for 5 seconds, and the dude disappeared.

I think xojana's in somebody's sig here talking to someone in mordion about easter eggs in their bazaar spelling Cunt. lol


Moral:
Shitty gm call->Shitty gm
Racism against japanese->Duck and cover
