got robbed

[Spatzle]

I paid a Halfling druid to xfer a bag from my chanter to my warrior and he has been linkdead now for quite sometime am I shit out of luck for thinking that this wouldn't happen on emulator server? please keep the mocking to a minimum I am just in awe that this happened

[Erasong]

shitty people are everywhere. i guess you can still hope he comes back and just had a house fire?

[SamwiseRed]

you really shouldnt ask a total stranger to transfer stuff. why not use a guildie or an established ec tunnel neckbeard?

ive drop traded everything personally. never had an issue.

[Spatzle]

I honestly have never had an issue before plus I tipped him handsomely just blows my mind.

[SamwiseRed]

ya sucks but maybe hell come back. if not name and shame :)

[Daldaen]

Only use guilded level 60s in EC is what I do. Or more often than not I drop stuff on the ground.

The Halflings name could be useful though.

[Spatzle]

Ya u can say lesson learned was at the cost of a lammy , scorpikis claw impaler, blood stained mantle and 2 sow pots not the end of the world but still hurts when your just starting out on server.

[Asap]

Name?

[Spatzle]

Wylfred Halfling druid its been over 2 hours now I don't think he is coming back and I need to get ready for work. like I said I learnt my lesson sucks but that's what I get for being naturally trusting of everyone. Everyone have a good day I get to play restaurant see you all in about 12 hours!

[Sturgeon]

You can file a petition and logs can be pulled I believe. Not sure on the turnaround for something like this but GMs are usually good about it.

[Swish]

It could all be a misunderstanding... but if it isn't, could one of the GMs investigate/remove the items from his inventory? I know that's asking a lot but I think it's been done for others before when they've been screwed.

Sorry to hear this happened , I am often in EC due to RL situation and often doing transfers during un social hours as I am from the UK , please don't hesitate in asking me to transfer stuff I'm more than happy to do so!

[Thulack]

Only use guilded level 60s in EC is what I do. Or more often than not I drop stuff on the ground.

The Halflings name could be useful though.

you have a level 20 do xfers for you :D

And sorry that happened. Unfortunately i have a job and life so can't be in tunnel 24/7 to do xfers but i'm usually on in the evening hours EST and on the weekends if you ever need anything moved. No donations accepted either :)

Why do people have to be thieving, rotten, no good bastards?? Wylfred is on my no fly list and my shit list. It grows bigger every day. :mad:

Listen, I made a stupid mistake after a long night. None of my guildies should be held accountable for my blatant thievery. I sold your lammy, but ill have it back by the time your off work. I apologize, I hope this is consolation enough for you :/

I may have failed in the moment but I hope I can fix it mate.

Once again, my apologies :/

[Fleetwood]

*cough*

[Sidelle]

I wonder if that really nice escrow guy is still around? I forgot his name but I seem to remember people were pleased with his service. Seemed like a good option if your friends aren't online to help with transfers.

[Sarajo]

So what I've found is that if you line your alt up ahead of time for a drop-transfer, and are sure to verify /loc coords ahead of time (nothing worse than being unable to find your tiny sack) you have 3 minutes 0 seconds to /camp and get back in.
So type /camp, and when you're down to 5 seconds go ahead and drop the item. Log back in on your alt, and you should have about a minute to spare (even if you're on a crappy computer like mine)

It's a start.

P.S. Please get rid of your sig which is obviously bullshit.

[mrtoga]

It wasn't meant to be bullshit, me and my cousin started that guild a few weeks back. Then he jumped ship and started another one, which is the new banner i herald. I didn't even think of the irony of our guild name :\

oh well, hope the gm's dont fry me. But I made the mistake. Thats the price.

Edit: Also, I understand the hostilities. But i'm not doing this to save face for myself. Just don't want to be another bastard ruining the game for others.

[Sgt1stClassPerkerwood]

So he rips off someone and doesnt even have the balls to keep the shit.


what a dam noob.

[mrtoga]

He still has his items, so I wouldn't go so far as to say his experience has been ruined. Sure I made a muck of it but atleast I'm making the effort to fix this.

[Sidelle]

Good on you for manning up.

Lol. I don't think he had much of a choice with OP going public to name and shame. I'm assuming druid with bear is his main.

Yeah, I'm skeptical that he owned up to it out of guilt or the goodness of his heart.

Oh well, glad the OP will be reimbursed.

[mrtoga]

I'de defend myself but their's not much logic to it. I know what I'm doing. However, im sure your aware that of all the times this has happened befeore its highly irregular for someone to make their defense to the public. I don't owe anyone but him an apology. All I wanted was to clear the name of my fellow guildies with this.

Anyone can act on greed, were human. But if you really think i'm so petty then why would I bother trying to sway your opinion?

Edit:

Also, very dissapointed in myself that this is my big debut for meeting the community. Hullo everyone, I'm a common thief! >.<

[Spatzle]

Thanks to everyone for not flaming me for having some random do a xfer for me however so far with this server I have met nothing but great people never thought this would happen here or on any emulator for that fact I was able to leave work early cause it was bugging me so bad. Still no reply from a GM but is this mrtoga guy wylfred?

[mrtoga]

And yet I still rolled an alt with 3-4k as well as returned the lammy. Quite the dipshit.

[Spatzle]

I haven't gotten anything back and its not only a lammy is scorpikis claw impaler, blood stained mantle 2 sow pots bro

[Sturgeon]

GMs come down on him yet? Or no since he admitted to it in here via apology?

[Spatzle]

I just got my items back from wylfred is there a way I can close this thread or can only moderators do that?

[mrtoga]

Just to say, yea, I was going to use his lammy to gear a toon. Which I stated the moment I posted anything in this forum revealing myself as Wylfred. But after I bought it back I stripped myself to afford that gear. Even with the gift of anonymity I can still own my mistakes to people i'm never going to meet.

Atleast when the dust settles I know whatever I fucked up I did my best to put back together. I'de like to believe that we can see past that.

Glad you all had a good laugh though. Atleast someone found amusement in all this.

[Spatzle]

thanks abacab for your honesty

[Burrito]

mrtoga just quit now. You can't beat forum trolls- and this isn't even the full brunt of RNF. Just stop being a scumbag and you'll be fine. Recommend changing forum avatar and laying low. Change your name and then make a return joining the top raiding guilds and then getting banned for duping for some real good quality forum drama while people try to tie the webs and deceit together.

Sorry to see this happen! Please know our guild (CoS) does not tolerate scamming of any sort and we've handled the issue with parties involved - reputation and credibility is worth more than anything those precious plats could buy. Glad to see items returned to you

alls well that ends well

[Drummond]

Good on you for manning up.

I don't want to be one of those nitpicking grammar police, but your use of that idiom doesn't meant what you think it means.. at least anymore.


While "man up" still retains it's old definition of "to fulfill your responsibilites despite the worry of embarrassment", "manning up" now officially means "to choke badly when it counts most (and be an embarrassment)"

Just thought you might like to know. :)

[xexbis0]

Dude, is NO ONE going to mention the fact that OP left early from work because his 3-4k worth of pixels got stolen from EQEmu? That is the most ridiculous thing in this entire thread.

Dooooooood, pretty sure he said he had to leave for work. def not gonna re read it though

[xexbis0]

This. I'm sorry common thief but I have to call bullshit on your whole "I'm a changed person over the course of less than 24 hours" epiphany.

Let's be real here, you are an opportunist. You saw an opportunity to rip someone off and you took it, then you saw an opportunity to try and save face and you took that too. You aren't a changed person, and you don't have the moral high ground in this situation to try and make anyone feel guilt for not accepting your cheap words or deeds.

[Lamil]

This thread had me laughing at work... so thanks for that

[NextGenesis88]

Props for coming clean and making an effort, but I don't think anyone believes you would have done this if there wasn't a thread publicly shaming your name and guild. People get second chances though. It SHOULD be possibly for people to get themselves off a black list if they truly come around. I just can't stand how people do this kind of stuff, but also the trader needs to take more responsibility as well.

And to trivialize and put this guy down for caring about all the weapons and money he lost while you are here on these forums and playing the same game is ridiculous. For some people this is the one game we really invest in (or even if it's another) so why should it not be important to us? This game takes A LOT of time and effort to aquire things yourself. Why do you think a person would be so into this game, but then not give a shit about losing progress, items and etc? Who am I kidding anyways. Probably just some troll.

Not everybody wipes their ass with 100k. Although it would seem a lot of people actually do.

[BahamutDF]

Strangest thread I've seen in a while.

Mrtoga should set up his own mule/transfer business in the tunnel.

"Now offering a 45% chance I won't jack your shit! Otherwise it's free! /tell me!"

[BahamutDF]

I love posting from my phone. Can always expect random issues. Didn't mean to quote anyone.

Carry on

[NuckyThompson]

I sure as hell don't want to instigate this entire issue and would rather leave it buried but I find it interesting that so many people can give their psychoanalysis and personal opinion on something (and someone) when they may not know all the details of the situation.

In no way am I saying Toga was right but after being presented with the true appearance of the scenario and inevitable outcome from his guild he chose to do the right thing - definitely speaks to the power of positive guild influence and reputation in the community. Even if the post had not been started I'd like to think (going the rarely trodden opportunistic path here unlike so many others) that he would have come to his senses and done the right thing.

Now consequences have been issued and the victim got his items back. Both sides have lessons to be learned here...

The most important being don't trust a hobbit with shiny things. (kidding of course)

[BahamutDF]

Nucky - IMO bullshit. On my worst day I wouldn't resort to jacking another players pixels. Not on my worst day.

EQ is a community based game where trusting others and asking others for help/support is paramount. Not punishing this kind of bullshit either socially or with bans is asking for it to perpetuate. All I've read about here is how people get banned for fucking up. This guy fucked up. Whether he came clean or not. The robber doesn't get off because he cops guilt.

Idk, I'm just saying. I don't like the idea of giving a pass to someone who up and decides to fuck someone else over, blatantly. And then is coaxed into repentance for fear of blacklisting.

[NuckyThompson]

I certainly am not trying to give him full immunity - as I said before in the CoS rules (http://www.companyofscoundrels.tk/who-we-are.html)this type of business as well as RMT is met with swift and unwavering consequences, and they have been dealt. Copping guilt wouldn't have changed the aftermath - fail to see how that applies besides being a source of entertainment for many - it's the actions that matter, and as the social consequences have been met (and *if* GMs decide to deal with the issue in their own method) I think we can give SOME opportunistic credit to a justifiable outcome.

Toga will have a hard enough time in the future if he chooses to continue with his pain. Lessons are learned, second chances are extended. I can think of many others in much more popular guilds who have done scams and RMTs much more profitable than this one and they're still sitting comfortably in their guild in P99.

I can't help but think that this would not have been resolved so swiftly and "cleanly" if you had not pointed out his guild (thereby bringing it to their attention while simultaneously throwing them into the fire).

[NuckyThompson]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion - that fact certainly brought it to our attention quicker than the alternative, but in public view or not the consequences would have been the same.

But you are correct in saying it brought a rapid response... No guild whose values include credibility and reputation would be happy knowing this type of thing was going on, much less being spread on the public forum in such a fashion that gives ill representation towards them.

I hate to say this as I have been I. A similar situation, but it's your own fault. Don't ever hand anything over or pay up front to someone unless they are in a reputable guild and is established, not a level 1-10. Not always a convinient as finding any noob but you won't get robbed this way.
