Wow...

[Osharan_Tregarth]

Ran into a new one today....

Some tool had an lfm up for a madstone run, and a guildie asked to join on his 11/2 Rogue/ranger. The group leader told him that he'd only let the rogue into the group if he paid him 30k plat.

sigh...

[bandyman1]

And the Assbag of the Year award goes to......


PM meh Osh.

[Justan]

but he was always going on and on about how the proceeds would be used to bring 'The Thunder From Down Under' to his home town for a 'private' New Year's Party...

I guess word got out, and somebody is seeing if they can steal Nick's booking and I believe there shall be consequenses when he finds out.

:D

[Hobgoblin]

pm plz

[Falco_Easts]

Can I have a PM as well please.

[jdyer111]

Can i get a PM of the guy please Osi

[Magi]

pm here too

[toughguyjoe]

i'd love a pm please. this kind of behavior can't be tolerated from anyone other than nick.

[Resurrection]

I was in that party, and there was some miscommunication me thinks! The leader was under the impression that the guy wanting to join was asking how much was to be made running Madstone, not asking him to pay his way. No one else paid to get into the party, and I must admit it was a smooth run. Save the drama for another day- panties need not be bunched on this one!

In-game extortion. :eek: I think that would be one of the very few instances I'd have to send up the pipe for higher review. (I mean, there's gotta be a first time for everything, right?) ;)

30k would be a rather odd amount to extort from someone to join a group... 10k... 25k... 100k.... Nice round numbers...

However, 30k is about the XP ya get for Madstone on Elite isnt it? This explanation sounds MUCH more plausable to me.

Not only are we getting one side of the story on this one.. We're getting one side.. Second hand......

yeah I gotta aggree with impaqt. Its much more beliveable that the guy was telling the OP's friend how much exp was going to be aquired.

Unless of couse the party leader absolutely hated the OP's friend (Possibly for being a loudmouth, or always-dead-zerger, or previous bad blood etc), and decided to charge him that much for the suffering he would inflict on the party. I could understand that as well hehe.

Naw.. Those adjectives might describe ME fairly well, but not the guy posting in guild chat. :D

Didn't actually care enough to bother remembering the party leaders name, so it's not like any pm's were sent out.....

Okay, welll.... I'll say that IF there were ever a case of: "In-game extortion. :eek: I think that would be one of the very few instances I'd have to send up the pipe for higher review. (I mean, there's gotta be a first time for everything, right?)" ;)

Dear friends,I am the leader of the said party.Thats right folks its me the one and only.I had the LFG up for the Madstone run.I was sent a tell by said rogue.Asking me how mush loot and xp he would get from Madstone on elite.I said if your a first timer in madstone on elite.It would be bout 30k,for a first time run on elite.Well the guy said no thanks,he didn't want 30k.Everyone in the group was chatting away and joking,waiting for the party to fill.
At the time i didn't pay much attention to that,pushed it out of my mind and went to joking with my friends in the group.Well it all came flooding back when.I was flooded with tells of how i was a blank,blank and blank.Being called names by anothers guild was not enjoyble thing to say the least.Well thats it,thats the true of the matter.
Next time i will learn spanish,so maybe i will be understood then.
Peace and Love

Meh.

No names were named... No pm's sent...

If the other group members hadn't posted, no one would even know who they were.

My bad for reading what someone had posted in guild chat, but that's about as far as my sense of responsibility goes...

Coldest is just jealous b/c we make him pay 30k pp to run with us (per night) so he does not understand what the issue is
