To Bid or Not To Bid

Ok.. I work for a really respectable company which sells things professionally on ebay. Having over 5k feedback at 100% is hard business, but doable as long as you really try.

So, here's my thing.....

What the fuck is with people that bid on shit... win the auction.... and then contact you saying....

"oops, I didn't mean to bid on that item. Can you just cancel my bid?"

what the fuck do you mean you didn't 'mean' to bid on it?.... it asked you twice..!!!

Our auctions run for 7 days minimum, and as a professional company, we try our best to research a part etc that you may need in order to provide you with a 100% accurate, nice, factual description... and with this description being what it is... and it running for as long as it does... you mean to tell me that in a very detailed description of an auction running for 7 fucking days that you couldn't figure out "oh hey.. I might not fucking need this..."

Then you have to audacity to ask me if I can just... forget about it, let it go, let you walk away scott free, while i'll have to pay the listing fees twice because of your retardedness...

Go die in a fucking fire....

Here's a thought... PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS BEFORE YOU FUCKING BID.....

dammit you people suck............

The Drop System

We all know that the drop system is screwed - and any time you want a drop... to drop... it isn't going to. Unless you have like Treasure Hunter 12 or something... but this isn't really what i'm going to focus on...

What i'm talking about is the drops that should be there, but aren't.

For instance.. any seasoned FFXI Player that has played the game for a while knows that at some point in the storyline of the expansion packs you get to fight the lord of dragons... Bahamut.

NICE!.... right?...

Sorta... see.. Bahamut drops some really nice gear called the Homam set. It's a nice set of red, bad ass looking armor with some seriously great stats for just about any job that can use it.

The problem....

You have to complete both 'Rise of the Zilart' & 'Chains of Promathia' expansion packs in order to get to the point where you can actually fight the guy which is really tough.

However; you've been to whitegate, no?

Sure you have... we all have...

I think...

you should go, it's nice

Anyway - so yeah, you high tale it to whitegate to check out the new shit, walk outside and HOLY SHIT! that Bard Fomor is wearing.....

wait for it......

HOMAM GEAR!

Why can't you just kick the bards ass and take his gear? I mean it's RIGHT THERE.... he's obviously dead now and won't be needing it... yet, you just let it lie.

"No thanks, i'd rather have to do a whole bunch of other shit, countless missions, fight for my life, try my damndest to slay a big ass dragon, and then pray he drops the piece I want and or need."

you're insane....

really....

somewhere, someplace, there is a padded room just waiting for you...

Thanks SE for being retarded in how the drop system works....

If the mob isn't gonna drop it, it shouldn't wear it....

jeez..... this shit is elementary man....

maybe pre-school....

probably pre-school....
