If anyone was the benefactor in this, please help us recoup some of the gil for this player. This was a huge mistake. how did they make a mistake like that 9 times?!!
A big mistake indeed :( I hope those people are compassionate
Wow dude, i feel bad for you but really , try to read next time you purchase something expensive >.< The AH asks you like 3 times before they proceeding your purchase
Just... wow. Nine times in a row is insane.
I had one guy do that to me, but just the one time, and I gave him his gil back. Hopefully those people are nice like me. Seraph.Pikachu said: how did they make a mistake like that 9 times?!!

I'd give the gil back, but I won't feel bad if others don't.
Not to sound cold but;

this wasn't my mistake, it was made by someone in my linkshell. I am just posting this here in hopes that someone in Quetzy knows some of these players in an attempt to fix the mistake. The player this happened to is one of the most well respected players on my server, one who always helps others. At this time, she has contacted 1 of the people, who did indeed refund the gil, so she still has several more to go. I have my fingers crossed.
Good to see at least some people have some sense of empathy and good will. Hope he gets it all back, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath. Too many aren't very honest.
hmm was tryign buy imperial wootz im guessing?
Think you have to set Quetz as the server to see.
9 stacks of iron for 1,160,000 each You have to change the server to Quetzalcoatl to see it.
As bad as that is, honestly. I dont feel bad for you at all.
When i bazaar an item of any value, or purchase something of value. I look at the numbers i have on my screen 10x over and then hold my breath when i click ok. So im not sure how you coul dbe brought back to the List of items, and proceed to click on the same item again (In a stack for one) and repeat the same error with the item "Iron Ingots" , are you sure? Popping up on the screen which you then had to confirm. Either way, this salvage body will feel damn good when they finally get it lol Seraph.Pikachu said: how did they make a mistake like that 9 times?!! I always check out what I'm buying, more than just glance at the item, if it's over 50k. I myself would keep the money. Yea that sounds kinda mean but hey, I'm not the one that didn't read.
hahahahahahahaaa

If your hair is that long and pretty, then I am totally jealous. :p Edit: er, sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread with hair.

Ouch. I really hope this person was having a friend who doesn't play FFXI do this for them or that the sellers send the money back. If not, I suppose Kaelyth can take some solace in the fact that they just jumpstarted the Smithing industry on Quetz...
was she drunk? seriously lol

stupid is as stupid does
Kaelyth is my mule, and i'm the one that made the error, 9 times.
Its really a simple mistake as to how the error happened so many times. I had made an initial bid, which didn't go through because it was too low. I tried one for 1,160,000, and saw that it had gone through. I was a little too excited over the fact that I might actually get to buy a couple ingots at a more reasonable price (the price jumped by more than 100k within the last week and a half) that I failed to see that the Imperial Wootz Ingot wasn't actually selected when the bid had been made the second time. Having seen that the bid went through, I didn't waste any time trying to hurry and make additional bids. And being on a skype call at the time talking, I wasn't 100% focused on reading the chat log. I'm sure there are some people that skim chat log in-game when holding a conversation on skype, or the phone. It was on the 9th bid that I looked closer to the actual chat line and realized the error. Sucks that it took so long for me to realize, and I really wish that in that particular moment I had paid a little more attention. I've been playing the game for almost 5 years, and have never had an AH mistake like this. It does make you wonder how a person could repeat the mistake so many times, especially with an extra "Are you sure you want to make this purchase" question, but it happened. I appreciate that Buckeyespud came here and posted, I didn't even know at first. I'm already hoping to try and get in touch with the people that I purchased the stacks of iron ingots from by mistake, and hoping they would be willing to make an arrangement with me but I also know that getting such a big lump sum in your delivery box is probably something that is hard to pass up on. And i'm sure that there's slim to no chance of me recovering even half of what I spent the last months saving up and working to make. But just as Buck mentioned, one person so far has been kind enough to help correct the error that I made and I can only hope that if I try to get in touch with the others, they might do the same. If they don't, well then at least I tried. Mistakes happen and that's really all there is to this. No one is asking for compassion, no one is asking for any pity. If anyone does happen to know the players though and could send them a /tell to inform them that i'm trying to get in touch, it would be greatly appreciated. |
