The only fail I saw in that link was a bunch of assholes thinking they are hot shit for being racist over the internet. Since when is that awesome cool shit?
Wasn't really sure where this should be posted but I think this is appropriate. So the story starts in Limbus when a friend sends me a /tell and says someone in Jeuno is shouting to sell sky/sea gear. I lead a linkshell named Epidemic, which does Sky on the weekends. We've been having a long dry spell on crimson legs and I'd been wanting to buy mine just to get out of everyone's way that still needs them in my linkshell.
The original shouter was somebody named Lissaa, who told me crimson legs were 4 mil. Sounded reasonable, they asked if I was free now and I said I would be in 30 minutes after a quick ENM run. They sent me a /tell 30 minutes later asking if I was ready and I told them soon, and they said to hold on and their friend would send me a /tell. I heard nothing else for over an hour after that and they were no longer online. And then...
(Sorry for shitty black boxes, blocked out unimportant linkshell and /tell banter)

He must have panicked and checked the closest person to him for a legit name and it just happened to be my own member.
If you want to scam somebody, at least make sure you're not trying to scam the leader of the linkshell you're pretending to be from.
A for effort at least?
Wow, that's just...wow. I don't even have words for that.
I've gotta give them this: They are doing their DAMNED best to scam money. I honestly would call that epic win on your part, good sir.
I initially asked if I could pay a lower amount of money and include a Kirin pop set, expecting maybe 2.8-3 mil + triggers since a Kirin set here is worth about 1.1-1.2 mil. He responded 3.8 mil with triggers and I just laughed and said Kirin trigs are worth more than 200k, so he said 3.5 but I still wasn't going for that. Had never seen this person before and was kind of confused why they were even shouting in Jeuno instead of Whitegate in the first place. Whether it's RMT or just some desperate NA I don't know but I hope nobody else on Seraph fell for this today. But if you ever give that kind of money to a level 1 mule before you even see if this person has a linkshell that can kill anything you deserve what you get.
That's the whole point. They think they're awesome for being a bunch of racist dipshits, when all it really shows is that they're a bunch of scum that you're best of having nothing to do with.
Holy wow at the w. legs convo. That's started my morning off on a bright note!
That's why I don't buy drops from NMs, I don't trust the people at all. Though I was tempted to buy W. Legs just because they were the last thing I wanted from sky, but meh... not worth the 3M IMO since I hardly ever used my PLD outside of farming.

Ramuh endgame is awful these days, DH was always a bunch of internet toughguy faggots, the only shell I'd even consider if I were there with TAL gone, since Empire's leaders are probably due for another server jumping bank-nab, by now is Pixies but I'm not foreign enough.
That is why you only work with people like me who kill the NM for you, get ToD for you and wait until its in your inventory before hitting trade. It just makes for a much nicer deal when there is no stress or pushing for gil first, item after. It also works best when you work exclusively with JPs.
And I guess I was wooshed on that post about that LS. I thought it meant something else.
Eh i never liked that shell, Plus Marasama was in there And ill be god damned if im in a shell with a snorlax like her.
They were decent when i was there, but the play times were very EU. That was 2 years ago, Maybe they broadened their play times.
But Callisto is right get off that backwater server, go to remora learn how the big trolls get down, Hell join the right shell and they'll give you an apoc when your scythe skill isnt capped.

Who were you on Ramuh?
But yes, I agree as well. Ramuh always seemed like the backwater, reject server for years, lol.
how is that fail? when is something decent ever dropped from t1
