The world of NMs in FFXI isn't a place for the weak... but is it so bad that people can't even be nice to one another? that people can't be trusted.... then again, it couldn't been my crummy Atuo-Trans skills...

[Eldarias]

What happened exactly?

[Tom Sly]

yeah i'm lost too

[xLanx]

He asked for help but the person didn't and now he missed out on Retaliators.

[Rivers _Asura]

no, sorry.. I should've explained better >.<

I was in Fei'Yin and saw the Western Shadow and started fighting it.. then I did a /sea to see if anyone could use them and I saw this lvl 60ish MNK in there.
I was just trying to invite them to see if they wanted the drop :/ but they thought I was asking for help...

[Eldarias]

Ohh, probably just translation issues then.

[pathwriter]

I wouldn't take 'em from you, I camp for myself and on my own terms. If you didn't need the (Rare/Ex) drop, don't claim the NM.

I'm not sure I understand the point of this.

[Klochkova]

Even if you wanted help, I'm sure the typical person would have accepted invite to see what was going on without actually going up to help kill.

Bolded what the OP is talking about.

Doubt that anyone would offer to give you anything in the first place.

So because someone refused to take an item, possibly didn't need the item, or didn't understand they were being offered the item, they are considered not a nice person?

I'll say people are to full of them selfs (pathwriter) and wouldn't ask/take help even if there life was on the line..

As for why he/she didn't accept invite is because of translation.. if you tried "NM" "Do you need it" > "h2h" "weapon name" "you can have this" i think he/she would have understood, i know 4 languages and what you auto-translated only works in English ^.^

[NinjaGorge]

What is the drop rate on Retaliators anyway?

If you didn't need the (Rare/Ex) drop, don't claim the NM.

Agreed, you could have just let the NM be and let for someone who needed it get the kill.

Of course, now that you have it, keep it in your storage of mog locker till you level Monk. While you may not think of leveling Monk right now, you may in the future and might as well just keep it for now.

Lol @ this line... Do you people seriously have to take pot-shots at him every time you see him post somewhere?

Who cares if he'd rather get them on his own.

Must feel good to be such a hypocrite though.

This is a video game. Try to distinguish.

I don't get how people only call this a "videogame", it's a life standard, it's just like money, yes, my analogys suck.

I tried my best to post like you.I am better at being like some of the monks though (not all, but some):
Oh yes path you rock and if I quote your posts and say win maybe people will recognize me and give me attentioooooooon!

Good day sirs.

[pathwriter]

Life standards don't extend on a one-to-one ratio between real life and a video game. Ultimately, if you die in a video game, nothing bad really happens. You have to recover your corpse and maybe some XP, but you aren't going to lose a finger for it. To suggest that I would allow someone to die in real life because I don't accept video game charity is... so absurd that I don't know why you're arguing with me.

It's sad that people feel this need to pick a fight with me all the time. Most people who actually speak to me quickly realize that what the forum-dwellers have said about me are unusually exaggerated. I suppose it's the price of infamy.

[Yojo]

Tbh the cocksuckers on the Monk forums kinda are one of the reasons of the whole "Let's hate path guys".
