So I was in Konschat (sp?) tonight leveling my WAR and I ran into a friend of mine who was passing by. I wasnt talking to him in say or anything we were just standing there speakin in /tell.
Then some hume named Milihpen rides up on a chocobo, stands beside us for about 10-20 seconds then says "F#$k you bit$%es."
Then he runs off and me and my friend both ask him in /tell what his problem is. He didnt say anything to either of us. So then I just tell him I am blacklisting him, and he proceeds to cuss me out how I am a "F#$cking Co$# Suc#$%."
I was just wondering if anyone here knows Milihpen, he was 20RDM no sub.. I would have no idea what caused him to flip out O.o
The only reason I really want to know is because I try to be as nice and helpful as possible to people, and when something like this happens it makes me mad.

Never heard of him.
Sadly, that kind of juvenile aggressive attitude isnt something people grow out of just because they level up, either.
Last weekend I had my first personal experience with another player who I'd seen around forever. Her name is Gessyca.
She's got a number of high leveled jobs, but she was the most insulting, verbally abusive person I have ever encountered in this game.
From the moment she joined our alliance, to the moment I left it (it wasn't very long), she chose me to verbally assault and insult, for no apparent reason (I don't even know her, had never exchanged a single word with her in the past, she just apparently decided that I would be the recipient of her vitriolic bile that particular evening).
I was frankly shocked at the sudden and intense verbal abuse she threw at me; it took me so off gaurd, and came without any provocation, that I really got shaken by it. I haven't felt as angry towards anyone or about anything in ages.
In /tell, she subsequently suggested that I simply couldn't take a joke, but she refused to justify or explain how I am expected to "take it as a joke" when I've never even met the woman, and hadn't even been in her presence long enough to make her acquaintance.
Anyway, I feel rather like you. I never shirk from helping people, and I always try to be as friendly and considerate as possible, and when someone randomly targets you for intense verbal abuse for no reason whatsoever, it makes you feel really rather affronted.
Needless to say, While I have seen Gessyca's name listed by someone in the Whitelist thread, my opinion of her couldn't be further to the opposite extreme.
In fact, were I to have one person on my blacklist (I have none), it would be Gessyca.

Thanks for the reply, its refreshing to know there are also people out there that feel the same as me.
It still makes me mad to know that alot of people that abuse others like this would probably tell ALL thier friends / LS that YOU are the loser who "cant take a joke" for example. Then you are the one that gets bl'd, harrased by tons of people, and your name is ruined because some ignorant high level decides to be an a$$hole.

Sadly, thats exactly how it goes.
The only 'saving grace' in my instance is the fact that apparently (so I've been told by others) this Gessyca is rather widely known to have a foul mouth and an attitude to match.
Frankly, anyone willing to follow her advice and judgement is welcome to /blist me, I'd probably rather not know them anyway.

wow..
note to self: add the people listed in these instances to the blacklist..

Mmmm, as affected as I was by my particular experience, I don't ever go around telling people to pre-emptively /blist anyone, nor advise them to until they have had their own personal experience with said person.
The person I spoke of is evidently personable enough to have friends, apparently she simply decided spontaneously in our first meeting that I would not be one of them.
I hesitate to feel "good" about the idea that anyone would go and /blist someone just because of what I had to say about him or her, rather than basing their decision on their own experience with the person.

typically I've found most well articulated people to be relatively good sources of information..
the simple fact that you would even make such a statement is the very reason why I'm willing to trust your judgement in a matter like this.
if one person doesn't like someone it's one thing..
but you yourself did mention that *multiple* people had issues with them... that being the case.. I have no problems with dropping them on the "avoid at all cost" list without ever meeting them.. because though the opinions of a single person may be somewhat flawed.. the opinions of multiple people wouldn't exist without some grain of truth...
even if the reaction was with reason.. it's still overly-harsh.. meaning this is someone I would likely not work well with.
as for the experience of the OP, I utterly totally refuse to have anything to do with anyone who would speak in that fasion weather provoked or not.. it's beyond crass and honestly makes me ill thinking that mentality runs around in the game.
they key to advancement in FF isn't gear.. it's your reputation, having a bad rep. with multiple people will be a turn-off to the community as a whole, or at least those who hear about it.
If you have *good* reason to suspect a spider to be poisonous.. and you pick it up anyway... is it the spider's fault that you got bitten and died? It had the option to bite or not.. but you voluntarily opened yourself to the risk.
my personal solution.. avoid potentially poisonus spiders all together.
course.. I play beastmaster, so it's not like I'll be partying with anyone anyway.. so my opinion on this is quite literally a meaningless drop in a very large bucket.

I had the good fortune of partying with her once in Qufim while levelling my RDM. I don't remember what she job she was at the time. However, I do remember her keeping the entire party hanging because after every fight she would remind us that she had to leave as soon as her static logged on because she wanted to get her RDM to 71. This lasted for an hour and a half. I don't know how her static works, but mine sets schedules for levelling. It's usually not a hit and miss.
Additionally, during those wonderful 90 minutes, she proceeded to tell me how every single thing I was doing was wrong without giving me any possible solutions of how my methods could be improved. Every other sentence was "That's not how I do it." Don't get me wrong, I'm still learning, and I welcome anyone who can give me ideas on how to improve my gameplay. But snide, corrosive remarks are not welcomed.
Finally, when I could stand it no longer, I thanked the party for their time, and felt that the party would be best served by someone whom the leader approved of. Then I disbanded and put my flag up. It took a little while to get another invite, but it was well worth it, given that those minutes I spent LFP and the consequent party time were more satisfying to me.
