Warning Neillsbrother = ThiefFollow

this is my first post. and i wanned everyone to know that Neillsbrother is a bad player. around 2 days ago. my LS was camping the Charybdis NM. (Joyeuse sword). at the time neillsbrother was in our LS call "Defiant adventures" he was PT Alliance leader. once we killed NM. Amei had the highest cast lot 860+. neillsbrother had the lowest lot. 77. when the sword was just about to drop. some how. neillsbrother disband. and got the sword. and log off. i was **** off. how can someone act like that over a damn joyeuse. then he log back in. lie about he was going on mule and come back. how i got joyeuse. i did not know etc. we kick him off LS. that is a Bull **** lie. first off all. why the hell would you log off at casting lot?. and mule while on we casting lot?. please watch out you guys. he will try to do this to anyone. oh and ya. i called GM's few time about this. they do nothing. this is just wrong

what i believe is after neillsbrother cast lot. he quickly put it on Quartermaster and that how he got it. then disband and log off. i hate when people do dirty tricks like that. that just wrong

Shush.

He admitted to stealing it...

I can honestly say I've never stolen anything from another player, for the very reason that it was not mine. As far as leaving him alone..I've never bothered him. He's a player to be avoided like the plague and I've done that so far thank you very much. Anyone who acts so egregiously deserves to enter my big 'ol mental book of people to avoid and receives 0 respect and 0 assistance from me in any form in the future.

So... if I work and save up 1000$ and someone steals it from me and I'm pissed, should I not be because I fail to realize that I can work some more to make another 1000$? That is the worst argument I have ever heard. I'm even slightly drunk right now and I'm still pretty sure that's a terrible argument.

If he stole something, and he admitted it, then he definitely is a douche. I think it's the RIGHT THING TO DO to let people know if someone really is that much of a douche.

And it's like Gamion said, they're not destroying his reputation. He himself stealing an item is destroying his own reputation. All they are doing is warning people about it.

You're an idiot lol. Are you REALLY defending this douche? I am in a Linkshell with Nevillsbrother and I would tell him to his face every time that he is a worthless *******. You do realize that by defending LS theft this thread will come up if you ever decide to jump servers or to apply to various shells right? I see it countless times on BG, where sh*t people say come back to bite them in the ***.

[Insert birds of a feather quote]

You and he both are worthless pieces of trash. Yes! I can say unequivocally that I have never stolen anything in game. I have NEVER lotted sh*t that I know that I should not have. Who cares if it can be done "countless times"? I mean if it can be done countless times they why didn't the ******* just wait his turn then? Your logic, like Nevilsbrother is made of fail.

Logged on to the "FaithinChaos" linkshell to see if he was on, he is not. I interested to see what the members and/or leaders of this shell plans to do in regard to this.

I know I'm late to the party, but when the op was posted, I added him to my /blist next chance I could and moved on. Yet after your responses and defense of him, I decided to post my thoughts. The reason everyone says to avoid him like the plague is because people who exhibit this kind of behavior will often times do it again.

Yes, every single item can be dropped again, but lets say next time he decides to "accidentally" lot something, he's in dynamis and it's someone's rdm hat who's been waiting 6 months for it to drop. Or perhaps he's helping you again for something you needed his help on, and instead of saying congrats to you when your item drops, he lots it instead cause he thinks he can use it better than you. This is why people post warnings like this, when someone pulls a douchebag move, they get that rep, and noone will help them anymore.

They will most likely find a new ls, explain how it was a huge accident and he mistakenly turned on quartermaster or lag did it, or some other lame excuse. He'll eventually get in a new ls and probably play by the rules for a few months, till there is an item in the treasure pool he really really wants, and then accidentally do it again. The good thing is, he's on my blist, so he wont be in any of my ls's and therefore wont be ******** any of my friends, my members or me out of any drops.

Btw, feel free to /blist me if you don't want to associate with players with attitudes like my own. Thieves in real life get jail time, thieves in ffxi get a bad rep, lose friends and deserve to have their name dragged thru the mud. I'm sure if it was your item that was taken, you'd be thinking completely differently.

The player base would be in a much better place if people like this thought about it before deciding to ninja lot an item, that, like you said, will drop again. The greed for the one item ultimately leads them to less items because noone will help them anymore. Think about all the other items and potential items you will be losing out on by destroying your rep, not to mention the fact that stuff like this will follow you across servers.

Now before I go on my rant, I have no intention of associating with people that steal in-game and I am in no way sticking up for anyone. I'm simply speaking my mind....


That is probably the most immature thing I've seen. The guy steals something in game (theft is theft, no matter what) and it's obvious that there's no denying such. However, calling someone worthless trash for stealing VIRTUAL GOODS is excessive. Was it right stealing a sword? No. Is it excusable by any means? No. Does that give people the right to stoop to a lower level to call him whatever? There's a difference between warning someone of another's actions, and attacking someone for their actions, and the line was obviously crossed. I mean let's be honest now...it's a game...no matter which way you try to cut it, this is a GAME. People have been screwed out before, they're getting screwed out now, and I gurantee you that it's not over.

Seriously. Just because someone did something wrong doesn't mean people have to make themselves look bad by insulting them. Feel better because YOU haven't stolen anything? Feel better that you insulted someone else for their faults? Good for you. But honestly, people like me look at that, and think the some people take Final Fantasy XI just a little bit too seriously. If you don't like the guy, that's your god-given right. So /blist him, don't associate with him, and move on.

To NB friends, family and fanboys everywhere:

You guys realize that I do log on the game right? Anyone that is throwing a hissy fit or whining because I seemingly "flamed" your friend, I have talked to NB and to Lejes about the issue. I am a straightforward person and I don't bite, any issues, comments and concerns can be directed towards me. There is no need to send cryptic messages through friends or acquaintances. My point of view is as follows: I have had friends that have been the victim of stolen goods as well as had ex-friends that have done said thefts. After talking to him I have a different understanding of that days events, deal with it. Holding a grudge? Bitter? Still butt hurt over my words? That's your problem not mine. I have been around this game far too long to care what a few select people think. One thing I have noticed in my almost 5 years of playing? Friends and alliances come and go like the tide, it's pretty much the ebb and flow of how this crazy game works sometimes.

Just throwing it out there for anyone that it may still concern, come to me directly to find out what was said and/or done. You can reach me on your forum of choice via email or pm under the same name if you prefer, or in game as *gasp! the same name, I just wish to take the anonymity out of this entire perpetual "sh*t storm". Oh and to NB I will "greet" you as I said I would if you would like just let me know lol, I am not shy or one to bite my tongue, you know this by now I'm sure. :)

Before I get anymore fanboy hate tells, that was a joke between NB and I. He got me good yesterday.....
