Ladies and gentlemen:
If you are invited to do a round of BCNM's with a group please adhere to the agreement. Irregardless of whether you felt offended by one or more of the party members it is extremely childish and rude to keep a big money drop to use on yourself.
Even if you desire the item (Erase for mages) do not ***** the whole party because of one person or even if the whole group irritated you.
Recently, I did a 6 man round of the Worm's Turn. Our whm had to leave before using his orb and the party leader invited another whm to join. This whm used his orb and zoned before ensuring the drops were placed into his inventory. One member was slow to pass the items. One of the rangers was a bit rude, but we allowed this whm to warp back to Jeuno to obtain another orb and we redid his round of bcnm. This was kindness on our part. After a few days we noticed that this whm's Erase scroll had not been sold, even though by this time 10 more had sold after the first two erases that our party had obtained had sold.
I tried speaking to this whm to ascertain if he'd used or tried to sell. He refused to answer my tells. I found out through another member that this whm used it on himself, justifying it by saying "1. He needed the spell as a whm and 2. He was offended by the one ranger."
I know myself if he'd mentioned prior that he would like to keep the erase if it dropped, I'd've had no problems myself. Three of the other members though I know would not have, as they'd've prefered the gil.
The original whm got into a pissing contest with the same ranger and this ranger then in turn screwed the whm by not sending him his cut of the orb that the rng used that the original whm participated in. This whm needed that gil to buy his own erase scroll and is still sitting on his orb as well.
Even though I did not have to, I still sent this whm 25k out of my 100k cut from the orb battle.
We're all in this together, let's not ***** each other over in what is perhaps one the best sources of income in the mid levels of this game.
