Looking for honesty... neriak foreign quarters

[Calabee]

Long story short, fucked up and lost a set of puppet strings... taking forever for gm's to answer (and knowing how they do stuff, getting help will be stretching it)

These strings were left on a merchant apparently, in neriak foreign quarters, less then a week ago. If you or someone you know acquired these through selling high end gems at the recharge merchant that was used... troll section, it would be nice if you could be honest about it and return something that isnt yours.

Long shot i know... but costs nothing asks, costs 200k to replace.

[Lojik]

Have there been any resets since then?

[Sylexis]

Ouch!

[Calabee]

No reset, someone sold 3 gems to a merchant who was TOTALLY empty for over a month now and bought em back after i fucked up self recharging and leaving em there.

Totally my error, totally my fault... but would be nice if the person who bought em reads this could be honest about it, or if you knew someone who all of a sudden got strings just less then a week ago and didnt have enough plat to afford em could contact me.

Im trying to get quick answer from derubael / sirken about it before they get traded / sold / moved around too much and are unrecoverable... but im not holding up any hopes.

[Supaskillz]

I know nothing of these strings, but I do wish merchants reset with the simulated patches to clear crap from them for recharging purposes.

You don't know the exact merchant? Are you sure you did not bury them on a full merchant?

[Calabee]

positive, and i could get the exact name if needed.

merchant who i had been using to recharge was totally empty for over a month now, selling only ''cloth caps'' till just a few days ago... surprise, he has high end gems (ruby crown, sapphire neck, etc) and mule no more strings :/

[quido]

Just pretend the merchant is a female you want to cyber. Or pretend the person who bought them off the merchant is a female who now will appreciate what you did for her. This should make it easier for you.

[Nubben]

No offense, but this is a risk you take when you decide to exploit merchant recharges. In my opinion the GM's should absolutely not give you any information as to what happened to the Strings, whether it poofed, or got bought by another player. It would be different if you lost it to a scam or something, but this was your own doing.

That being said, it would be awesome if whoever found them does happen to see this post and returns them to you or offers to at least strike a deal. I wish you the best of luck in recovering your item.

[August]

Anyone notice that the phrase 'no offense' is usually followed by that person saying something offensive to that person.

'no offense, but you're really fat'

'no offense, but you smell like cheese'

turn of phrase that does nothing except warn the recipient that you're about to get shit on.

[Lojik]

No offense, but good defense

[Jimjam]

They stop being yours when you sell them.

If you're lucky some sweet heart will have found them, realised someone made a mistake and are holding on to them for you.

Good luck on that one in a million shot.

[Raavak]

Big DOH!
Sorry man.

[daasgoot]

lol

[GnashingOfTeeth]

Gm's will not refund this.
You can offer a bounty, and hope for an honest person to return.
What do they cost on the recharge buy from the merchant?

[Rais]

Cashed in. Sorry I won't be selling them back.

[Lyrith]

This sucks, hate to read stuff like this on the forums... =(

[Rkelly]

I don't get why a GM would replace this, the item was sold to a merchant, right?

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/500x/48866652.jpg

Re-charging is pretty lame anyway. An obvious oversight in the game's initial design. So you fucked up yer legal exploit. Here, let me cry a single tear for you.

No more ez plats for you. But because you messed up a stone-simple legal exploit, someone else, now they get the ez plats. O, the humanity!

[Sirken]

taking forever for gm's to answer

its been 32hrs since you petitioned. relax

[Lyrith]

He lost puppet strings... It's been like 32 years to him. :D

[daasgoot]

Don't give him back the strings.. that would be dumb as hell.


OP sorry man that sucks.. but this is how i feel.

[Trelaboon]

"It would be nice if you returned something that isn't yours"

It sounds to me like it *is* theirs. You goofed, they got lucky and found the item on a merchant and BAM, it officially became theirs.

Hate to be the dick who says it, but I think you should receive zero assistance on this one.

[Lyrith]

Trelaboon fix you sig... No idea why that bothers me. And I think everyone has learned their lesson here. You need to be checking every vendor for 200k items!

[tristantio]

Looks like we better not buy any limited quantity items (vendor diving) for fear of taking someone else's item that they just happened to leave with the vendor temporarily (hah).

[Lictor]

This seems like a classic eq problem to me.

[BigHurb]

and with a classic solution: bend over, no lube

[Yonkec]

He lost puppet strings... It's been like 32 years to him. :D

And it still doesn't make it ok for a GM to force their return. User error is not something you petition a GM to make right. You suck it up, learn from the mistake, and make a post such as this asking if someone is feeling generous and wants to help a brother out. Didn't work? Exhale and starting saving for a new one. You don't run crying to mommy/daddy and beg them to make it all better.

[SamwiseRed]

recharging needs to go away. how can i tell if im buying legit puppet string charges or exploited ones?

[4WOFURY]

Recharging is classic.

[Kekephee]

How long were the puppet strings on the vendor? Not asking because I'm gonna blame you, just curious because I'm getting the impression they were on there for a really long time and I'd just like some clarity.


Also, regardless of fault/error/whatever that still sucks. Them's a valuable shits to lose.

[patrick210]

I almost bought strings off a vendor once when someone was recharging and no one was in zone. It's a loss you have to be ready to take when you are doing recharges. It sucks but that's how it goes.

[JPMorgan]

Thread is weak. OP's plea makes it sound like whoever found the strings is a crook for finding them, and a bad person if they don't give them back.

I honestly hope they were bought before any server reset and that the guy who got them enjoys them.

[Calabee]

you guys saying how it's legal exploiting and they werent mine anymore.... yea dude buys sumtin for 400ish pp that's worth 200k that he happened to find luckily

If you'd find a wallet on the ground, with id adress and etc, but it had a lot of money... you'd all keep the money and return the rest or toss it away eh?

just like how casuals sucked up to get mobs, u all want handouts

[Joyelle]

The 200k price tag that you've attached is only relevant to the player market. As far as the game itself is concerned, they are only worth 400pp. I fail to see where the new owner has committed any type of exploit.

If you'd find a wallet on the ground, with id adress and etc, but it had a lot of money... you'd all keep the money and return the rest or toss it away eh?

Unlike that wallet in your analogy, those puppet strings had no identification to lead the purchaser back to the original owner. I would liken this more to finding a $20 bill laying on the ground and there's nobody around.

just like how casuals sucked up to get mobs, u all want handouts

I kinda felt bad for ya till I read this line. You're the one asking someone to give you a highly valuable item that they rightfully acquired off a vendor because some schmuck was careless while recharging. I hope you never get your shit back.

Yeah wow. Stop being a whiny bitch. Or have you already forgotten the part about this being your fault?

Last time I checked puppet strings left on a vendor do not come with a photo ID and home address.

[oldschooltrader]

whoever snatched these if ur reading, sell them for plat asap then there's nothing that can be done.

So take your hand out of your pants and start manning the phone lines, get'r done.

Pauvre petit garcon! Achete la mienne!

[Daldaen]

Calabee I suggest you enlist Jeremy's help. He has packets that make those who interrupt your recharging efforts, pay. Or so I've read.

[Argh]

There was a reset sometime very recently

[Tecmos Deception]

Glad I checked the forums today.

Calabee, 200k isn't shit to you anyways :p

[Lisset]

If I buy a Rolex from a pawn shop that the owner sold to the store himself, buying them doesn't make me even a little dishonest, even if the pawn shop sells it to me for $30.

Quit trying to make it seem like the purchaser did anything wrong. They didn't. You were a complete moron. Did the purchaser show up when you and a buddy were charging and take from a vendor? Only then might you have a moral case. But no, like a dumbass, you left them there.

If I happen to find puppet strings on a vendor, you're damn right I'm buying them and no you wouldn't get them back.

You're like the guy who realizes that his Superman #1 was in the box of old comics he sold for $2 at his yard sale and then starts calling the buyer a crook.

[Circa.]

Good luck with that Cala, someone stole my wizard and I've petitioned it and never gotten her back

Refer to heebo's sig, thats classic.

[Daldaen]

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I definitely have the money to replace it after selling many Ragebringer and OT hammers. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me come to the forums to whine about my own mistake. If you let my Puppet Strings go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will petition for you, I will whine at the GMs to find you, and I will probably RNF when they fail to help me.

[Sylexis]

Arguments on this topic aside, recharging is classic. Not a single person has started a thread recently about what dirty stinking jeaters all melee and clerics are for recharging their rings of shadows. If it's okay for a 19pp item who gives a damn if the item happens to be 200k instead.

[Fame]

Would not restore, pras classic, pras staff

[SamwiseRed]

classic exploits need to be fixed. if they didnt everyone would be leveling in akanon and other places where mobs would just stand in doorways and not attack back. oh wait some of you would probably want that. scrubs.

[Kristian]

Items shouldn't be rechargeable anyways, it's exploiting a bug. The game would be so much better without recharges and epic MQ

Classic UI forced
No ducking casts

No Scroll Wheel to 3rd person

No Buff duration shown
No mana total shown in inventory window
255 Resist Cap

[Nikon]

The reality of this sucks for Calabee for sure, but if the GM's give information regarding who purchased them or makes someone give them back, that would set a really bad precedent. They really shouldn't do anything about this at all since it was not a game mechanic error. Hate to say it because it's unfortunate, but Calabee fucked up and as a result someone else may have had a really good day. Such is life. If they disappeared due to a game issue, that's a different story.

I've returned lost wallets/phones before. Never returned something I've bought from a second hand shop to the original owner after they called me a thief though. If this hypothetical sweetheart did buy those strings I'm sure after seeing you raging here they are not going to return them. You were so polite in OP :(.

[August]

I was for Calabee getting the strings back, shit happens and I know I'd be pretty upset if it happened to me and ecstatic if I got them back.

Then he had to go and make a stab at casuals and just in general be a whiny jerk. I don't even raid, or even want to, but I tell ya if I had taken your strings and saw that there's no way I'd give 'em back.

When you don't have anything to stand on, it's best to not start throwing shit.

[4WOFURY]

Aye, OP sounds like a self entitled whiner.

Grats to whomever got the strings! Wish I'd have been around.

[4WOFURY]

Just makes me think I need to go vendor diving more.

Though I have seen people standing around whenever a large group of people are standing near a merchant, repeatedly clicking the merchant everytime one of the group does, waiting to snag an item.

[tekniq]

has OP clarified that he left them there while he was logging back on his mule to get them back or he just left them there indefinitely hoping that no one would ever use his said vendor?

[Lyrith]

You REALLY think he left that item on there indefinitely? I don't think it takes an Knights HR Team to figure out he made a mistake that costed him.

[tekniq]

Ya I really do.

Also if you took the bike that I threw away, be a pal and give it to me - thx

[Supaskillz]

Why would you just leave it on a merchant on purpose? Obviously an accident. If it was while swapping toons he would know who it was.

I would guess gms will restore with a bit of patience. Although I sort of agree with, you sold it to a merchant and left, fair game. I know I'm paranoid with my red wood wands and they are just red wood wands. I wouldn't expect gms to return them if accidentally left them on a merchant.

[Lyrith]

Ya I really do.

Give them a couple hours and they will provide all the information in screenshots fully documented. :D

1. Curious as to what evidence there is that recharging was considered an exploit by SOE in the year 2,000. I honestly don't remember.

2. Suggestion that epic MQ is not classic is pretty stupid. MQ's were classic; what makes an epic MQ any different. The argument that it didn't happen that much is dumb. MQ of quests was widely used before Kunark and velious. If SOE wanted to make epics special and set apart, then they would have made the quests so as to preclude MQ's. They didn't.

[Rist]

I once found a Commons hat on a vendor in Erudin. Promptly ran to the bank and bought it with all I had and sold it for a profit. Don't remember how much the difference was, but free plat to a 20 Mage was glorious.

Don't leave stuff on merchants expecting them to be there the next time you want to recharge.

They are indeed classic bugs.

I use the term bug because bother were fixed in one way or another.

1. They made all vendors filter items by charge, preventing the recharge exploit.
2. Around LDoN/LoY/GoD era all quests moved to be un-MQable. Requiring all turnins be provided from a single source or having some hidden character flags tied to quest steps.*

*though MQing most quests was not retroactively fixed.

[Jygia]

They knew about recharging, during Velious the prices for some rechargeable items were raised (egg shaped pumice and golem wand went from 15pp to 100pp and some others too, like rez stick, etc...)

[sulpher01]

If this is the only evidence, then calling MQing a "Classic Bug" is disingenuous, particularly when MQ wasn't changed until much later in time, and even then you could still MQ Classic World content. Thus the specific problem was identified, and deliberately left unchanged.

In this regard, MQing is no different than kiting or FD pulling. Sure, perhaps it wasn't originally contemplated and intended; but it became accepted and even endorsed by SOE.

Dolic

[Daldaen]

No. It was never endorsed. That's why it was phased out. It was a bug and they rectified it by making all their future content not be MQable. They just didn't care enough to go back and rewrite 1000+ quests from Classic to PoP.

They, like GMs here, did and do not refund for failed MQs.

Kiting and FD pulling on the other hand; many things were added such as new AAs, raids, and group events to cater to these mechanics. Endorsing them as you would say.

This still doesn't answer the original question. The team in control of the game changed from Verant's team to Sony's team in 2002 or w/e therefore you can say anything produced post-velious or possibly luclin was NOT something considered a bug from the original game devs, or if it was, not one important enough to fix.

[SamwiseRed]

its obvious to anyone with a brain that they are bugs.

[Trosh]

who knows!? Perhaps all norrathian merchants are part of a guild, and they can accept items without charges, but must re-charge them in order to sell, as part of the guild requirements!

[Zoesha]

Glad I checked the forums today.

Calabee, 200k isn't shit to you anyways :p

It is when its not his strings in the first place... they were Retus's puppet strings and if the GM's don't reimburse them then Culprit will be expected to give Retus his strings in return for the fuck up.

I tried invis turning something in yesterday assuming there wasn't any real faction required, and it got eaten.

I'd understand if the GMs didn't see fit to reimburse it cause that was my mess up, though. If they do I'll be grateful and know in the future I can't try invis turning in that part of the quest.

Pro tip - Mobs that see invis don't like it when you try invis turnins. And KoS mobs will happily eat your turnin piece!

[Brut]

I tried invis turning something in yesterday assuming there wasn't any real faction required, and it got eaten.
That's borderline bug though, or at least something you wouldn't necessarily know about. Doesn't really compare to selling your high value goods to a vendor and forgetting about them. Think asking for reimbursement here would be like asking for one if you turned your Ragebringer MQ to Anson. As in 100% your own fault for not paying attention.

Idunno, heard people petitioning dumbest screwups. Imo it's not really worth it to waste the staff's time if you gave your sky items to the wrong quest npc, but seen guys do that with the mindset that "it's worth a try".

so using vendors as personal space is now acceptable. If someone buys your shit just report them.

[Champion_Standing]

From what I understand they can give you back items accidentally sold to a vendor as long as it isn't bought by another player first. Clearly these strings still exist in the game, the person that has them has done nothing wrong to get them so they can't be taken back. Duplicates cannot be created, not classic, not legit.

[Kekephee]

I don't get why people in this thread are talking about screwed-up turnins as somehow being "less" than intentionally selling your super expensive shit to a merchant and then FORGETTING about it. Like "well jeeze, if the GMs will help reimburse quest items that you turned in wrong by accident, surely they will aid with this extremely unfair situation!" Do you guys really think screwing up a turnin for quest items that you had to collect over months is less-deserving of the GMs' time than this?

I'm not saying I don't think the puppet strings should be reimbursed. I mean, I don't, honestly, because if they get reimbursed then the server has one more set of puppet strings than it is supposed to and with that precedent set we've got a pretty sweet new method for totally legitimized duping on our hands- but that's beside the point. What I am saying is, what am I missing here that you people think a failed quest turnin is less assistance-worthy than this?


Like this:

so using vendors as personal space is now acceptable. If someone buys your shit just report them.



The person you're responding to made a mistake turning quest items in. Entirely different situation than this.

[Ambrotos]

if the GMs will help reimburse quest items that you turned in wrong by accident, surely they will aid with this extremely unfair situation!" Do you guys really think screwing up a turnin for quest items that you had to collect over months is less-deserving of the GMs' time than this?


Shouldn't do both. It's classic.
As for the issue at hand:
Highly doubtful that Sirken would make anyone give anything back from a vendor. Hasn't happened in the past at least. I don't see a huge issue with dropping a name of who bought it. I did that before, but only after I asked the person who bought it, if the person who sold it to the vendor could contact them.

Drop items,mess up quests,sold items off vendor (start buying everything back) is different here than on classic servers.

[quido]

imo make Calabee pay for being the dumbass that he is

I dunno, man. The whole Machiavellian "sorry you didn't unstack your bone chips/turn in the fire opal before the other three pieces of the epic" thing is cool to a point, but there are some things with some of these quest turnins that are just arbitrary and begging for people to fuck them up. Plus, mistakes get made. Mistakes of varying degrees of reason- there's a lot of grey area.

One time i was trying to do a Lambent quest and I turned a piece in to the wrong npc because two erudites were standing next to each other and one of them said "give the gem to my brother" and I just assumed it was the other erudite. Turns out it was a high elf across the zone. That one's on me- I didn't read the wiki closely enough and perhaps my understanding of what it means when an erudite refers to someone as his "brother" was a little misinformed. I had already petitioned because I thought it was a bug when I realized what I'd done, so I followed up the petition and said look, this one was my bad, don't reimburse the shit. And they didn't. But there have definitely been situations where I or someone I know has made some terrible mistake that really, really wasn't their fault, it was just human error or a bad series of events, and the GMs have helped them out, and I've said, "yes, that was a time where I believe it was good for the GMs to help."

The cool thing about being on an emulated server rather than a corporately owned official one is that the people who run this thing can bend the rules a little bit in the right situations to make the game more pleasant for people. Imo. It's a fucking game, we don't need to be twisting peoples' arms and putting them on the rack because they got two items with a similar name and the same graphic mixed up.

If I buy a Rolex from a pawn shop that the owner sold to the store himself, buying them doesn't make me even a little dishonest, even if the pawn shop sells it to me for $30.

Quit trying to make it seem like the purchaser did anything wrong. They didn't. You were a complete moron. Did the purchaser show up when you and a buddy were charging and take from a vendor? Only then might you have a moral case. But no, like a dumbass, you left them there.

If I happen to find puppet strings on a vendor, you're damn right I'm buying them and no you wouldn't get them back.

You're like the guy who realizes that his Superman #1 was in the box of old comics he sold for $2 at his yard sale and then starts calling the buyer a crook.

Pretty much what he said. I have been playing EQ since 2000. Never have quit. Live, EQMac, Sleeper, here, you name it. I would hate to add up all the crap I have lost in the 14 years I have been playing.

Well since they were Retus's strings and he was nice enough to let culprit and I recharge off them I do agree that he should pay Retus back in full for the cost of them. Or give him his strings.

I checked my logs and found out that I never forgot to buy them back after recharging them so the only other person who could have done it was Culprit since we were the only other people with access...

I had someone talk with Sirken about it and he will not refund them so the only other thing that can be done is for Culprit to do the right thing and reimburse Retus for his mistake.

Thats like asking to personally borrow+drive your friends car to go jump start your car that is sitting with a dead battery across town, wrapping their car around a telephone poll as you drive there drunk, and then returning to your friend, saying "my bad, here are they keys! I hope you had insurance".

The strings that were lost were most certainly not Retus's.

[Calabee]

um ya they were actually, i self recharged and forgot to buy them back apparently, ya know.. if two boxing was allowed this would have never happened :P

and im waiting on the official answer from derubael, sirken told me gm's powers are split and divided since the fall of uthgaard and it's deru's domain... so who knows.

Buying something off a vendor =/= thieving.

[Tasslehofp99]

I remember many times where an item was ninjalooted off a corpse, picked up off the ground, etc where either GMs intervened or players flamed the thief endlessly/whiteknighted for the victim.


Why is this situation any different? Same idea really.


Furthermore there was almost no GM intervention in situations like this on live. The precedent here on p99 though is a very different story.

Personally I am against GM intervention in cases like this. However if you're going to suspend scammers/ninjalooters/move raid items from one player to another after the wrong person looted it (not classic) I fail to see any difference in this situation.

[SCB]

If I drop items on the ground, switch between characters, and transfer items, I run the risk of losing those items forever. Same deal with recharging.

OP lost his item through no one's fault but his own. OP needs to own his mistake. That he would fail to see how he is begging for a handout as he rags others about this is just the icing on the cake.

Aye, but then GM's reimbursed players (or atleast they have in the past) who've had their characters stripped/scammed, items ninjalooted, item's that have been dropped on the ground/picked up by the wrong person?

I mean I've seen friends have item's stolen off of their account numerous times in the past (recently as wel) because they shared their info. Sometimes the GM's would move the items back to the rightful owner, other times they would just tell the person who took their things and leave them to their own methods of retrieving their items.

I mean I'm all or being responsible for your own items/actions, but if the precedent in these situations was to reimburse/assist it seems logical to assume the course of action would be the same in this case.

That's all.

[Brut]

Wut. How is sharing your account info and someone stripping your toon even remotely close to vendoring your crap, forgetting about it, and someone else buying it?

It's already getting way too into hand-holding when we're talking about reimburing items if someone drops them and someone else picks them up. There's a setting in Options to never drop items if people really can't figure out what they're doing with their inventories.

Humans are supposed to be learning from their mistakes. Not having both their hands held so they can't make any.

[Tasslehofp99]

My point was that really if its been done in the past for people in the same/similar situation, it wouldn't be fair to stop now. How many epics exist on p99 only because a GM was nice enough to reimburse an item that was eaten due to stupidity/mistake?

That's all.


I guess what I mean to say is that if you reimburse one idiot, how can you not reimburse the rest?

Sure you draw a line somewhere but I would prefer if (as im sure most would) the playing field was fair for everyone in all situations when it comes to reimbursement of items lost due to stupidity.

Granted this is rogean/nilbogs server and they can do whatever they please, I just think if there was going to be a classic stance on reimbursement here that it should've applied to everyone since the beginning of p99.

[Man0warr]

There is no reimbursement that needs to happen, the item wasn't lost. It still exists on the server, and whoever bought it off the vendor is now the rightful owner.

Winner of the vendor lotto, congrats, enjoy, sell it and never think twice about whiny rich toons that have no problem creating 16 page threads crying about giving an item to you for 400p. You know that's what you did don't you? By putting it on vendor you basically auctioned a 200k item for 400p..... and someone took you up on it.

Every time I hear of them reimbursing any epic pieces, it's some part of the quest that's convoluted and confusing, ie. the wiz note was handed back to BDA, prty sure monks have received their final turnin piece back many times since 60% of them forget about the OT turnin, would assume some sky pieces since Verant was bananas with the system of spawning different quest NPCs for them. I don't see anything game-related being a part of this, the merchant system didn't make this confusing.

There's a pretty vast difference between trying to MQ an epic and fecking up the order therefore losing all the stuff - and turning in half the pieces then forgetting about it and logging off while the quest npc despawns.

These strings were left on a merchant apparently, in neriak foreign quarters, less then a week ago. If you or someone you know acquired these through selling high end gems at the recharge merchant that was used... troll section, it would be nice if you could be honest about it and return something that isnt yours.

Long shot i know... but costs nothing asks, costs 200k to replace.

as far as i know gms no longer reimburse for what you've said. Account sales/sharing account info is no longer backed up by gms. You gotta realize that the OP sold an item to a merchant in order to use an exploit to recharge said item. At that point while it's on the merchant that everyone has access to buying items from, it ceases to be anyones item but the merchant's until it is bought again. This isn't stealing.

The 200k price tag that you've attached is only relevant to the player market. As far as the game itself is concerned, they are only worth 400pp. I fail to see where the new owner has committed any type of exploit.



Unlike that wallet in your analogy, those puppet strings had no identification to lead the purchaser back to the original owner. I would liken this more to finding a $20 bill laying on the ground and there's nobody around.

Did you ever vendor any of them?

nordenwatch you say?

So how close of friends were you of this RMTer? Sounds like the same way Nord made all his plats in game, and bragged the same way. Why did you just out yourself?

how does another person, in another guild, that i wasnt associated with has to do anything with me?

i was saying we were the original epic sellers now every guild has at least 3-4 different people selling them

Really mean but I just imagined the OPs face after realising THEIR mistake and the frantic dash back to Neriak to find the vendor didn't have them. Made me lol.

I'm killing wisps to get greater light stones to buy leather for my main so had I found those strings there's no way in hell I'd return them. On a vendor they're free to be bought.
