Gloves of the Bandit

DevilsDice · #1 09-06-2003, 12:37 PM

If all of you hadnt of heard, the gloves of the bandits were created, then somebody sold them to somebody, and so on.

That last recipient was me. I held those gloves for over, 3 weeks I believe.

Ac+1
Wc+1
Dex+1

Getting offers like RoW's and Warhammers, but unfortunately, I didnt complete those deals...

Instead, I told a staff member, and tonite, Friday Sept 5, Tseng rid of these gloves, and "compansated" me with Havoks and 6 EA's...

Of course, I'm unhappy with that, but I'm "lucky" to have received "anything" for doing the "right thing"...

But in reality, the words didnt come out right... It was more like, I had been ****ed, out of the best damn gloves in the game, and heres some peices of **** for you, have fun and enjoy!

I admit, I purchased those off of somebody for USD. OK, so sue me. But what I got in return, was less then I expected, or then what I paid for the other gloves...

Anywhom, this isnt a thread for any of you to even post on, just wanted you all too know, I had them, blah blah.

K thx Bai

Also, no I did not purchase Inferno / row / ros / bracers / anything else usd >.>

Why the hel would you perchase them for usd? Those gloves suck compared to marksmanship or any other glove. Your lucky you even got something for the gloves, so why are you being a ***** about giving them up? :o

Tseng · #3 09-06-2003, 05:23 PM

Bull****; last night you said geno gave them to you.

And now, you want to complain, without your complaint being examined/posted on? I'm starting to get tired of your hypocricy (asking others not to post in your threads, but feeling it's alright to post in whatever thread you want).

And I think a perfect havoks and 6 EAs is good compensation for an item which arguably should not exist at all. If you had not talked to me, the odds are it would have been removed, and would you have gotten anything at all? Probably not, dude.

Havok's gloves shouldn't exist at all, but they do. :o

Dude you're rather fortunate...I don't think anyone else that had items removed got anything at all. Sorry that person ripped you off with the USD deal you made with 'em cause I'm positive he was aware of the consequences of owning the item (having it removed.)

Agreed, but as you said, they do. They are not terribly strong, but not terribly useless either. It seemed a fitting compensation.

a staff member named James gave me the gloves.
i then sold them for USD to argosax, stefan told me that selling items for USD is not illegal, just advertising them on graal is illegal, me and agrosax had a AIM relation ship were i would sell him things. i do think it was unfare that he had them taken from him. for a Staff member issued them to me himself they were not stolen or hacked or anything like that. but thats not really my say so :X

well what makes them so good is that it has +1 WC in the mix so when you EA it, it not only levels up your AC but WC as well, and it also has the (Stealth) attribute which also will probley come in handy when that is implamented.

how come if a staff member gives you something that means it can be removed at anytime, thats some messed up rules and your wrong i was not aware of them.

Why do so many Graalians feel the need to type "dude" in every one of their posts?

Anyhow...Thanks for sharing your story with us :-D

I suppose the lesson here is to never tell staff if you have an item that you believe is illegal.

That's a _great_ way to be recompensed at all when it gets removed.

Maybe because that's how they talk?

Many, many people use illegal items, and they are only removed if someone tells staff. Toran could have continued using his bonecrusher if he had not let anyone else know about it (like markb) and staff would have never figured it out. Argo would've had those gloves forever if he hadn't told everyone on the server about them. It's sad, but it's true.

...why wouldnt you?

I just figured I'd get what I deserved, regardless of the many other things Chris found out from me.

According to your PM in-game, I've been rather screwed over thanks.

He sold me the gloves long before he was ever announcing quitting. Well, actually only a week or two in advance. Geno also said, and did burn the items, which were not purchased I believe.

True but would it be the right thing to do? We all ***** and whine about unbalancedness of the game, then we use / have used illegal items?? Really now. c.c

Wrong, I knew he had a bonecrusher before anyone told me. I saw it myself.
