The greed is killing me.

[Compass]

It was typical late night with me playing Mabinogi. As usual I was in Tir and I saw in this chat that this guy was ticked off for some reason and talking to this girl. So 5 minutes into the conversation the girl approached the guy and dropped a lava cat robe (I guess that's what it's called) and it was on the ground for at least 2 minutes(Long time when you're deciding to pick up a lava cat robe or not) so the guy typed out of anger "NO DON'T DROP IT" and it was on the floor for a minute since he was too busy typing "WHY CAN'T YOU TRADE IT TO ME!?" so finally he picked it up and it was switching colors and I was so filled with envy since I just started playing Mabinogi again and I couldn't remember my old account. So for the hours that have since passed I've been beating myself up for not grabbing the lava cat robe every time I log in to Mabinogi.
So I just wanted to know if I did the right thing? I mean he was clealy angry and stuff. Just really jealous that all.
:fail:

Any moments like this happened to you? :3

[Shironi]

Even if you picked it up, they would've haunted you for the rest of your mabi life. So you did the right thing and watched while you were strangling yourself with envy. Lol, but I would've just pick it up :D Cause I'm dirt poor.

[Chiri]

If people are acting childish and dropping expensive items on the floor, I feel like they should be prepared for the chance that someone might come along and take it.

I think if it were me, I'd announce my intentions and if they still didn't take it... +1 lcr for me.

Well true but at least I would been guilty with a lava cat robe that changes shiny colors :XD:

But yeah it wasn't the angry guys fault but he should stopped typing and picked it up. But I think if I typed that I'd wanted the item he would of harassed me.@_@

I don't like Lava Cats...
Just a few mins ago, in Dunbarton, some people were dropping Dyes and Fixed Dyes, which were worth quite a bit of money.
Did I run over and pick them up?
Nope.

What do you do with Mabi Money like ... really?
I need 50k, atm, and yeah, that's it...for now...

[MrpewX2]

LOL I'd be the same way if I'd would have done the same
(I would have a new lava robe if I was you)

[Juno]

The 'right' thing is subjective, but congrats on not being a jerk.

[Phunkie]

I would have picked it up and if he asked for it back, I would have traded it to him.

If he didn't, free Lava Cat Robe.

If they're dropping dyes though, they know no-one can take it, as it's un-lootable. (right word?)

[Raj]

That's what I thought, but like, the other guy was picking it up, and I was like o.o;

[MagitekKefka]

Pick up lava cat --> log off before he can get your name.

[Raj]

Pick up lava cat --> log off before he can get your name.

That's lame.
I still say, Lava Cats are lame.

[Kazuni]

That's lame.
I still say, Lava Cats are lame.

Tell that to the people who buy them for 1 million. If you don't like it, sell it. More money in your pocket. Don't complain about how lame they are when you can make a tidy sum off it.

[Raj]

True, but meh.

To the main point - The people dropping that are immature, truly.
I drop Popo's shirt and pants whatever.
THAT's something you drop..

[Cide]

That's what I thought, but like, the other guy was picking it up, and I was like o.o;

other guy probably wasn't, dyes disappear off the ground very quickly.

[Raj]

But the girl right next to him was like 'Gimme!' I dunno.
Maybe..

Maybe I used a bad example. -Goes to find a good example-

[Osayidan]

I would have nabbed it and if his first reaction was to start spewing offensive stuff, I would have kept it. If he asked for it nicely right away I would give it back.

You do know that dyes and fixed dyes can't be picked, yes?

The normal dyes could have been expired anyway.

[Lonesky]

o.O I probably would have done what Osa said...

Ever since I read this message I have been thinking that I don't like jerks. Thanks you cheered me up. [=

You can't pick up dyes. That's why ppl drop them.

[Raj]

Lol. The 2nd thing is rare, you would've probably kept it.


@Everyone else at the Dye obsessiveness.
My bad. >.>
-Goes to find better example-

[Tedio]

I would have stole it, It would teach them a lesson.

:D

[Raj]

I would have stole it, It would teach them a lesson.

:D
Lol. True.

You see the people post in the 'Post your latest Failures!' section.
'I dropped a Lava Cat robe, and this nub dude named Bokumaru stole it.'

[Tedio]

then that would be quite the steal!
I would make a pretty penny when I sell it. maybe it back to the same person...

It's not possible to pick up dyes from other players... it is right?

[Lan]

I'm the type of guy who if some random stranger gave me some stuff to hold for him while he transfers it I would :S

[Raj]

Yeah I usually do that too.
But, it depends on if they ask nicely, you know.

[Cannibal]

First thing I would have done is pick it up.

I was on a mule and some kid dropped his Claus, Goggle cap, Muffler and a Jap Dag. I ran towards him and he got everything but the Jap Dag up fast enough. I took it and he begged for it back. Told him he shouldn't have dropped it. :>

Besides the fact that you can't pick up Dye and Fixed Dyes.....

[Cannibal]

That's only been said like 10 times. Thanks for contributing.

[Aubog007]

Just make money the good old fashioned way.
persistence!

[Crazed420]

I just ignore situations like that. Now moments where someone accidentally puts in the wrong price for an item that's very low compared to the actual? I grab that crap right away. Bought a muffler for 100k because of that about a month ago. Haha practically free muffler robe. Decided to keep it instead of resell though.

[Andy-Buddy]

Dyes don't expire anymore.

Wait are you talking to me? cause you play on tarlach..:what:

Same thing happened to me and a flashy dye. It was the first day I ever bought fantasy life, and I had my first shop open. I just made 100k (I couldn't even get that easily without service then) and I saw this yellow/pink/purple for 100k so I cashed in my shop and bought it. :D Best 100k I ever spent, I swear. Or at least, until I remember something else :what:
