Something strange

[Nadyxes]

I have been getting tells in english by all sorts of people lately
This is getting weird
I am like walking in latheine or anywhere and I got a tell from someone I dont even know

I just heard last night takato got a tell from someone in bastok
My question is how are these people getting my name or other person's name?????? :mad:

I heard dbeeo got a tell from the same person as well. THis is getting out of hand. I also remember when i was going to windurst to hand my carbuncle ruby, i got a tell from some rdm saying "CAN YOU HELP ME GET SUMMONER QUEST" i was like !!!!!!!!!!!! I dont even know this person and this person was like please can you help me ?

This is just plain weird. Takato said he got the tell from the person and that he asked him how you got his name. And that person said not from the ffxionline. I was like ??? How did he get his name then. I am confused. How would someone know he was english.

And further more. I getting a little mad that some of the same people continue to check me over and over again. I was walking back to san. And must have got checked 2-3 times by one person. And when i was in selbina i was walking around as smn and got checked by the same person 2-4 times. !!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad:

I've been getting a few tells from people I don't really know too. I can only assume they either come here, they are new char names for old players, or they got my name off gamefaqs, err, or the old FFXI site I made before.

[dbeeo]

Getting a tell from an unknown person with introduce himself who he is is not a big problem....

but without any idea about the person was, getting a tell from a strange asking for some spare gil in very fustrated.

[Takato]

Yeah I was in Bastok and all of a sudden I get a tell saying 'Hello how u doing (you dont know me) but can u help me? I was like ok a newbie player I wouldnt mind helping. But then the first thing that came after that was "Can you buy me something". I was confused at this point. He was saying since im a lv60 then i should have no problem helping him out with buying this item he wanted. I told him it is rude to just pm someone u dont know and expect them to just hand over money. He then stated that no one helps anyone in this game anymore, but before he stated he was new. After I replied he said "Well we can talk and stuff for we can get to know each other":sweat: That kinda made me laugh so I just told him how he could earn the money pretty easily.

P.S. OOOH!! was that person asking about summoner a elvaan lol. If so I got checked by him in valkurm when I was a low lv smn and then got a tell right away saying he was from taiwan or something cant remember and he kept pming me how "How do I get summoner". I actually told him but he just kept repeating himself over and over so I told him sorry but I in pt and cant talk then he left.

I have also gooten a few /tells from ppl that I have not met previously in game asking for some type of help.....

I really don't have a problem with helping ppl out when I can but (for all those out there who are sending the /tells) it would be nice to get to know you a bit before you ask for help...and you cannot expect that every high lvl char is going to have time or even a desire to help you in you time of extreme urgency( which should be the only reason that you do ask for help)....so please be considerate of other ppl in game..they have things that they are trying to accomplish in-game too...

Here is a rule of thumb....try to do it on your own first...if it is just a simple question try to figure it out on your own first...then if that doesn't work try to see if anyone that you currently associate with has an answer or can give the help you need...then if that doesn't work see if anyone they know knows someone who would be willing to help....and if none of those work, try to be patient!!....it's a virtue you know and something very invaluable in-game and in RL. You should never contact anyone who you don't know in-game without going through the proper channels...and by that I mean ppl who know someone who know them...then you can talk to them and get to know them. It is just common courtesy to go through those channels and would avoid threads like this.

Anyway those are my two cents and my opinions

lol agreed Gantoris - i mean it's cool and all but if you havn't even introduced yourself, by all means you have no right to ask for gil or anything else for that matter. . . hmm well - guess there really isn't anything we can do about this matter except please if you don't know someone, or havn't previously met them don't act like they're your best bud and ask for gil or items that just sounds like a game played on an american server lol

I get tons of those nady, mainly all wanting in on an LS and others just asking questions. I dont mind that much but if your busy it's always good to ignore em.

[Nadyxes]

Elite the people that tell me are not people wanting an LS
I am not a sack holder of any kind in any LS
I am just a member
I gotten tells saying asking for help.

the only one i can clearly remember is this one:
person> Hi
Me> hi?
person> what are you doing?
Me> i am finishing up SMN quest
person> what are you suppose to do?
Me> uhh....kill leeches
person> any kind of leech?
me> uhhh...ya
person> can you help me?
me> uhhh.....i just spend 6.5 hours hunting......
person> can you please help me?
me> uhhh....i trying to finish my quest

and bah bah bah
continues to ask me without introducing or what not

I dont mind helping others, in fact I enjoy helping others but still the fact that there is no introduction what so ever is beyond me.
There are some people from this site that have given me a tell and introduced themselves, and I dont mind that. But how can you ask someone for help without introducing yourself is beyond me.

I mean if you want help at least have the courtsey to introduce yourself.

Edit: Anavrin should learn about the "log out" button!

This wasn't recent but this happened to me. I was on AIM one day and i got a message to except an IM so I accepted and the first thing he said was something like "Do you have a world pass you could give me" Now to me that was very rude, he didn't even say hi so my response was "Who the F*uck are you".:confused: He then called me an asshole and blocked me(I believe). I know he got my name from the user CP but he could've at least said hi.

On another note, you are all wondering how these people got your names, it is probably from this web site, you don't even have to register to see posts. So these rude people probably see your posts and and how you are high level and assume you have nothing better to do and millions of Gil. Well at least there is the blacklist when people get out of hand.....

Ok i am with Takato i got the tell from Sandoria saying that i was lvl 61 and that buying him his armor would be at no loss to me. The guys name was
Tsukaze. I dont know this guy he s keeps sending tells :mad:

So wanted to wrn you guys about him hes goign aroudn askign for money but its puzzles me how he got our names. This could be a player we all once new. So watch out for this guy Tsukaze.

[Spanky]

Got three ppl I'd never heard of asking me for gil yesterday:mad:

[pheK]

thats very strange... have u guys asked them how they know u were EN or where they got ur name from?

[anavrin]

lol. people asking midg for world passes and he can only even play the game at my house.

=== TO ALL IMPORTERS ===
if you dont know me, dont bother me. no, i will not buy you a world pass. no, i will not send you gil. no, i will not buy you equipment. no, i will not help you with quests or missions. no, i will not escort you from any one place to any other place. ask someone else (preferrably nadyxes).
=== END TRANSMISSION ===

anybody else can just copy and paste that if you agree.

[Nadyxes]

why me? TT :sweat:
