Default Octopath: A Legacy of Business Ethics and Character

Sadly, this druid named Octopath has attained a certain amount of fame for a very unfortunate event and a post on the forum.

But let me tell you, if he should be famous for anything it is how he does business and his integrity and character.

I have now dealt with him a handful of times. After seeing how great he is at what he does i have learned now to go to him first for my EC tunnel needs.

Last night was no different. I sent him a message explaining i was looking for an Exquisite Velium Spear. I had a few items i needed to sell first to afford one but i was hoping he could keep an eye out for me in his time in the tunnel.

Within the hour he has purchased the Spear for me, yet i could NOT leave a Seb CE group obviously, especially so close to level 58. So, what does he do? He agrees to trade me the spear directly for the items i was planning on selling plus a bit of plat. And THEN he offers to run the Spear out to me in Seb so i do not have to cease leveling. He is quick to inform me he has not been to Seb since live, and thus almost dies on his way and has to find an escort. Finally he arrives at seb and trades me, (i did not have all the extra plat i owed him, but he told me not to worry about it til the next day) and refuses to leave until he sees me equip my new offhand.

All of this took him probably about 2 hours, just for a single customer he hardly knows.

This may not seem like a big deal to some, but it has encouraged me deeply enough to spend this time making a post about him. I have never dealt with an EC tunnel quester with this amount of concern for his customers.

Bro if you read this, i know losing 76k sucks man, especially since you have only been working in the Tunnel to fund your own Character to play. But do NOT leave. This server needs more people like you. I hope knowing that you are positively effecting people here encourages you in your quest to make your Shadowknight and stick around a bit longer.


TL;DR - Buy from Octopath, good dude there.

Never met the man, but if somebody takes the time out of their day to make a post thanking him. Then i have to assume he's a good dude. Cheers to Octopath! I see you.

Class act, Octopath! And thank you to Priison for taking the time to give kudos!

We need less elf litigation and more feel-good stories like this!

Holy shit, I was actually there for the end of this! He wasn't sure how to get to the Seb entrance, and was understandably worried about finding it without ITU. I found him at the wall nearby, gave him ITU and escorted him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can confirm, if nothing else, that Octopath definitely was delivering a weapon to someone at Seb, and also that he was very nice.

I didn't know he was noteworthy for a post on the forum, now I need to do a search [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT: I searched, I expected some big drama or something. He's the guy that lost a lot of money by accidentally handing it to a guard.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.
