To Asura.Picklestein:

I owe you 18,960,000 gil. I tried to contact you ingame and PM (you aren't registered) and both failed.

Please PM me here, or in game on Asura.Swordchucks or Asura.Korgalka and let's get together to get your gil back (the gil is on Swordchucks).

I'm only giving it to your character Picklestein, so if it's a second character, let's just trade it to Picklestein, that way I know for sure it goes to the right account/person.

If you know who Picklestein is, please direct him to this post so we can get together to get this resolved.

Thanks.

going by what else they bought with the orbs, it looks like they were upgrading a few AF+2 to AF+3.

If someone does this to me, I check their auction house history.

If they seem to not have a lot of gil to throw around I look for them and give it back.

If they seem to have a lot of gil, I don't.

If they ask, I'll always give it back but it's on them to ask.

Hallo it is me. Mister eh how you say? Picklestein. I ask that you give all my extra money to a Mrs. Vienner. She is my sister. It is okay. I am on break now or I would accept myself. :)

Seriously though, good on you Mr. Kingnobody always sucks when you do the ol' buy at 10x the market value by mistake. Always thought Nobody besides me would try to pay people back for that. Turns out I was right.

I'll see myself out

@Kingnobody
A couple of us poked him on Discord to have him get in touch with you.

lol to go through all this effort. He heavily multi boxes and probably using bidder to place the bids by typing the amounts manually and hit 0 instead of 1, I'm sure this guy has plenty of gil so while its a nice gesture he probably doesn't care.

what effort?

I haven't done much besides contact his character when I first saw it, tried to PM him here but couldn't, and made this thread. It's not like I tried to track down his IP, then go physically to his house and demanded that he takes back his gil.

If he doesn't want it back, fine. I did everything I could and will have no regrets at keeping it. But I rather still give him back his gil.

This shouldn't be a big issue at all to anyone.

Just baffles me that someone is trying to do something right and there has to be someone asking why they are doing it lol. But I guess this is the server where people have more issue with people who accidentally trade Odorro instead of Odorro himself lol.

Because you learn nothing if there are no consequences.

If you get rewarded for your carelessness, well, you will continue to be careless, and it may most you 200 million instead of 20 next time.

Lessons that cost asswipe money are excellent lessons.

If you are constantly making mistakes like this though.

Should we punish everyone harshly for their first error?

Clearly using 3pp to automate the buy, so, yeah

You don't manually screw that up 8 times in a row.

And I mean that's far from a "harsh" punishment. It's about the softest punishment a person can receive, even less than a literal wrist slap.

It's pretty obvious he doesn't care, if I lost 20m I would not logoff for a week till I found you and asked for it.

He didn't even notice.

This is like trying to give $100 back to bill gates because he put an extra zero on the tip. Most of these are automated buyers.

It's a forum, we're bored and it's something to talk about.

Although I'm curious his setup to do his fancy formation with his mules. I love a good lockstyle theme for the mule armies.
