Complaint about Gnous

This is a small complaint about a certine members of Gnous. My grievences didnt start with them till recently they join fins groups.

I logged on two days ago and asked to be put on the fins list. (I was logged at fins site so doing /say) While I was there I saw a friend Gundam (warden lvl 42-44 at the time) He said he had been waiting to get i the group for a quite some time and said that it might be a while before i was called.

after some pestering i was on the list and imformed them i would be playing an alt, gave them the name of the alt and went to play the alt. About 10-20 minutes later i got a message from the list holder asking if I had Mana Song 4. I said ofc and they told me to log.

The list holder was Freed, from Gnous.

So I got in before Gundam and i kind of chuckled and thanked god i was a bard. I soon saw that they had a lvl 40 hero and a lvl 42 hero. Kinda low since i heard you have to be a bit higher tank for fins. They were from same guild and had been there for a while.

Their names were Freakk and Freed both from Gnous.

These tanks were doing something intresting durring pulls, they would stick to a chanter and put guard on, then the would be semi afk. I didnt really care at first because we had another champ that helped us.

Well I didnt really care about this after all we were doing focus pulls. So we go for about an hour and only one chanter leaves. Then I get a message from the list holder (Freed) asking me how long i was planning to be on. I have this text on the Screenshot rather even though it was taken much later and i scrolled up to get those texts.

These questions seemed innocent, but i got this odd feeling that he was trying to get me to leave. I said I wanted to stay for my ding but would leave if the list was long.

He told me the list for bards was long, but i could stay for my ding. I asked how long, he said 6.

I was ok with this until my rep logged in and it was Shinny... also from Gnous. I suddenly found this kind of fishy and started to message on of the members, Anyanka, saying i felt as if i was being kicked out for their guildy. Anyanka said that I couldnt be kicked out and I should stay as long as I wish.

I agrede to this notion and decided i would stay for at least my ding as he said i could.

Soon our warden said he was going to log and I thought it was about time Gundam got his spot. Unfortinatly, no.... they invited the bard.

Freed was group leader.

I started messaging our champ Tdenoche talking about how it was kind of dodgy. During my conversation with him and Anyarka I was told that Anyarka's guildmate (Gegge) had been couting what place he was told when he joined list and how many chanters had came and gone and he should be second on list.

In time a chanter left and they called the "Next" chanter.... happened to be Teaser.... you guessed it.... ALSO from Gnous.

I thought, ok they all got on list at same time, no big deal.... then I remembered, Teaser and Freed were the sameperson. With Freed being the list keeper, it seemed VERY dodgy. I kind of made a joke about how many members of Gnous there were. And suddenly the got very defensive.

A small arguement insued between the me, Anyanka and the members of Gnous (aside from Shinny who was very quiet thoughout the whole time, no complaints about him/her) It finally got to me asking why Gundam hadnt been called. Since he was on list before me, he should have been next healer when warden left.

They said that Shinny had been before him on list, but if Shinny had been before him, she would have been before me.... why call me in the first place?

After an arguement I agreed to take the list because Freed said it was too much hastle. I got he list.... and saw how incredably LONG the bard list was.

It was 2 people. One of which was from my guild and i knew wouldnt be on till late at night (probably at least 6 hours or so) The other had asked to be on while I was there. So... this long bard list the Freed wanted me to leave to let the next bard on.... mysteriously vanished. Where did the 4 bards go?

There was only 1 other healer as well... Gundam.

I then looked, at Anyanka's reguest for her guildmate. He was second (since teaser was put in group, he should have been first)

so somehow he moved down on spot, as if someone had been placed in front of him.

I took on list responcibilitys and it cleared up most of the problems. Except that a druid healos asked if he was still on list. I appologized and added him.

during whipe outs, one of the Gnous members would say "I'll log the druid." And a gnous druid Invin would log to res us. So obviously they have shared passwords or something so that they can log on like that.

After a couple hours, Freakk said he would have to be logging for a couple hours and his friend would be playing for him. I was ok with this because hopefully the friend would be at the comp more then freakk. So freakk logs..... and the Teaser says, "Damn, i can log into his account"

So I say im calling the next tank. And they ask for next chanter. So I go with the majority and call the next pber. Because the one infront of gegge wasnt on he was called and let into group almost on time.

time when on and Anyanka left along with a couple other

I stayed in that group for 4+ hours (total). None of the members of Gnous left. I was getting really tired and asked for someone to take the list. They said no, that i would just have to stay on. I did for about 20 minutes constantly saying I was tired and wanted to log soon and asking to be relieved of the list. I called up a druid and said he could have my spot if he took the list. He didnt really want to take list, but agreed because even when I said, "I am logging, who is taking list" no one agreed. Healos saved the list and took it. I passed it on and went to train.

I got a message from a friend then about an Innus group of 38ish people hunting pooka's. He asked if I could join and I said just for a short while cause i was tired.

So I got to innus buffed them and played Mana song and said I was pretty tired and they needed to look for a replacement bard.

While they were looking I had a chat with Gundam, who in the 30 minutes or so had gotten into Fins group.

He informed me that Freakk was back in the group. Kinda odd since he was nearly at bottom of the tank list (since he logged and all)

no... teaser had DISBANDED a 46 mana speced eld to let him in group.

It was then i decided to post this.

I told my group xp was sucky for me and that i was stuck to my friend and was going afk and they could disband me when my rep came in, or if they didnt want me leeching, since we had a large number of healers i wasnt really needed other then song.

so the day ended for me and I socialized the next day then the next day came.

[Edit]

after socializing that night i played fins for a lil bit and saw oddly enough, two Gnous people. The warden was fine but was rather slow on reflexs healing etc most likely do to fatigue though. The tank... freakk however, when he left DEMANDED his spot be taken by Teaser, a pber.

Ok I'll let Teaser take his spot, but she damn well better tank imo.

[End of Edit]

I'm waiting for fins now. They said their bard Shinny was gone but being "played"

I'm looking at the group now... its freed, shinny, and teaser from gnous mixed with others.

Teaser is pulling, she sends pet in and focus shield it, pulls it back, then Freed (aka teaser) snaps to life and starts attacking the mobs. He sits there doing no styles at all, and the bard snaps to life suddenly.

No of them move at the same time.

Since when shoud one person be aloud to take up 3 spot in the group when there is a list? Kinda destroys the idea of a fins list.

hmmm odd, seems screeny is too big file size, and im not a Regular user so i cant post urls. Anyone willing to host it please tell me. But it shouldnt really be nessisary i have witnesses and such.

Thank you for those that read this.

btw i got back and since i was busy posting this i ost my spot.... to the warden from Gnous.

I was in that fins grp today, where the 3 members of gnous was in...

teaser was as cercela is telling, pet pulling, and Freed was just standing in attackmode, assisting teaser, but still werent using any styles...

But thats not the only prob, course earlier today a the bard called Shinny, which Freed played too, which means that he had 2 chars in grp, joined, but as we were in need of a healer real bad, we all agreed that was okay, but also that we would disband Shinny if another healer came, suddenly the owner of Shinny got back and took control of it, which also was okay, course now we could have both chars playing, but not for long...

A eld called Nicucale, from CBH, was also aware about this, and he tryed to get em to write a line right after each other, and then do it again right after, but they wouldnt agree, so that acturly prove that they could, i arent saying they are, have 1 player playing 2 or 3 chars at fins, which acturly takes 1 or 2 spot(s) from another fellower hib...

But u guys must addmit that it seems a bit wierd, and if its true, also quite wrong right ??

i think all of gnous are a small collection of people, and they all know each others password.

So 3-5 people can get into fins and be played by 1 or 2 people, then when those people get tired they switch to toher people.

Nice idea, but the more honest people get screwed.... as always

[edit]

btw who do you think told Nicucale they were looking like the smae person :p

and btw teaser admited to being freed the other day :p

yeah right m8, they pushed a fecking tank that was on bottom on list rep him for chantur or what eveah, but it was regge or ragge that should be there....not the fecking gnous peeps!

AND one more THING stop the god damn fecking focus pulling , the point with fins is that all get equal chance to get to lvl 50.

Agreed, i got to 50 the "classic" way and actually enjoyed it, if you cant be arsed to exp properly dont play this game.

Though may change my mind as i am currently leveling up a ranger and i am soon to hit the post 40 exp wall :( :D

When I do focus pulling in fins (and i have list) I normally only do it if theres loads on Pbers and not many healers.

3 tanks/leechers
2 pbers
1 chanter puller
2 healers (one bard with mana 4)

that way makes it almost the same. Since i've held fins list before I know that tanks and pbers make up most of the list and that healers are either RARE or huge line for them :p

personally i like the old fashion pulling more cause its a bit more exciting. I mean nothing more boring then healing a pet over and over again at 4am

tbh though guys its been said time and time again.

Look in SI. Theres 2-3 fast popping places that are identical or better than fins. We need to have 2 45+ XP grp places up and running on a daily basis.

But its also true that this focus pull XPing thong has gone made. Ever fooker and his son are doing Focus XPing now. (including me!)

I was in that fins group with my warden but left not too long after Freed joined. When I was leaving there were several other Gnous poeple there sitting on the side, and the list Freed was given should have had enough poeple on it to keep him going without having to bring guildies in...

So yeah thats pretty damn lame, by ignoring whats on the list and instead inviting guildies and bringing alts/other chars into the group and playing more than 1 char at a time.

Guess the way to sort it is to not let them in fins, or just dont give them the list.

So where are those spots? I often heard ppl mentioning them but noone said where they are. Dont make it a secret if you want everyone to go there :rolleyes:
