I thought everything was cool&#8230; our friendship was really deep at one point, to the stage where we mail stuff to each other. Stuff went pretty well until some shit happened&#8230; and it all starts with Salvage.<\/p>\n<p>So when we all join Lagsave&#8230; both of us were on the same line of equipment, all 5 pieces. Since L was my good friend, I didn&#8217;t wanna be at a point where I have to lot against my good friend. So I&#8217;ve decided to take a break, or step out of Salvage while L gets 1-2 of the pieces out of the way. I was going to wait a bit longer but.. Jackalman said if I don&#8217;t start coming to Salvage&#8230; I will be removed from the priority list. So my &#8220;good intension&#8221; ended there. I never told L.. but was just something I&#8217;d do behind a friend.. not only to avoid conflict, but just to see L in pretty stuff, was my way of helping a friend, was also my way of supporting a friend and making L happy.<\/p>\n<p>So I started going to Salvage again, non stop&#8230; even after taking a break, my attendance is now way ahead of most people including L&#8230; what does this mean? That break that I took wasn&#8217;t because I cannot attend, but was for good intension. But apparently.. my luck isn&#8217;t as good as many others, in fact.. horrible. I just got my FIRST PIECE of Salvage gear&#8230; after 120 (one-hundred and twenty plus) runs. This is with the help of Olorin passing for me. He saw me having nothing after 120 runs (nothing = 0\/5 Morrigan Piece completed), and decided to help me out. He didn&#8217;t know me&#8230; nor did I.. but a stranger.. someone that I don&#8217;t know.. decided to pass for me. I was touched of what he did.<\/p>\n<p>He is a really nice person for sure, with a good heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Now the reason I was happy but sad about this is&#8230; this piece that I got&#8230; could have been mines 40 runs ago. What happened was.. the shoe dropped&#8230; and it was lotting between L and Mai. With no questions asked, L &#8230; who I thought was my best friend, is not willing to say a word, do anything nor ask a question but lotted WITH ME in my face. That was what broke my heart. Someone who I&#8217;ve done so much for, didn&#8217;t care about my feelings and just lotted infront of my face. Why? L once said these things to me&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I only play FF because you still play&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If you quit, I&#8217;d quit too&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I&#8217;d even follow you if you transfer server&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I am still in Duck because&#8230; I want to help you and be with you, see I never even lotted any Homam&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All this&#8230;  sweet talking and lotting over me&#8230; and L didn&#8217;t even bother asking me or even trying to &#8220;fake&#8221; some shit like eg. &#8220;Aww u haven&#8217;t gotten anything yet, do you want me to pass for you?&#8221; honestly, I would have said no, but the fact that someone ask you something like that shows you friendship was there.. but no.. never happened. Lotted, not a single word after only shows me L&#8217;s friendship never excited. Loot Whoring got to L&#8217;s mind and&#8230; just out of control.<\/p>\n<p>It saddens me how loot can flip a person, from a friend to someone I now I don&#8217;t even want to talk to. Not only L is someone lotting stuff OVER me (even though you consider me such a &#8220;so call&#8221; good friend which you&#8217;ll quit ffxi for), but the fact that L says &#8220;I am here in duck to help you and haven&#8217;t lotted any other shit eg. Homam&#8221;, but &#8220;lotting everything else in the linkshell that&#8217;s got to offer OTHER than Homam&#8221; only shows me L was nothing but a bunch of lie and lip service. Reminds me of Ron Paul&#8230; lip service&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The other part about L was also the run skewing part. So much EMO happened at the back&#8230; just so there was more Salvage run scheduled than normal just to get L&#8217;s pieces done. So okay.. it was completed. But L never thought about the gil required to make it&#8230; and let those 3 pieces sat there for ages&#8230; selfish and greedy if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>I really wish the person that passed for me was L, and not Olorin. But this incident made me realize the friendship between L and I&#8230; was never there&#8230; that&#8217;s what Internet is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is rather recent&#8230; but it saddens me every time i think about it.
