wow i just got completely screwed on ebay.
I sold an item, two days later the guy requests to cancel. I ask why, he says it would not arrive in time (lol really after 2 days) and wants to cancel. I told him fine, even tho I had a deadline by ebay that was not reached, I will refund him because I was getting screwed on fees (which I later relisted and got it sold for higher.)
So I go to refund him and the page bugs out and doesn't let me select my card to use. I tell him and I contact ebay, then they told me its an error on their end and I have to tell the buyer to contact them.
I told him that and he contacted them. He then cancels the request and makes a new request for cancellation with the reason (buyer did not receive item.) I was like wow you slimy POS, why would you do it like that? He said oh thats what ebay told me to do, don't worry it won't be anything bad. Even in my chat with ebay they said the buyer would then need to make a "case" and get a refund that way since my method was bugged. I told the guy (of course from an India call center) that sounds bad, a "case" and like it will be a negative remark on my account.
He then says oh dont worry its ok. So I went ahead with the refund and it went thru by going to my actual profile to change my card (it still bugged when I tried to refund thru the request.)
Now a couple days later I resold that item, and my payment is on hold. I found it strange because I get paid very fast even before shipping. So then I sell a second item and it again gets put on hold, all until the buyer gets the item.
I contact ebay and the support says oh sorry that is just a systematic thing that happens after a case and nothing we can do. Youl;l just have to wait it out and sell as normal and maybe it will be lifted, sometimes its never lifted.
I just find myself in situations like this completely not my fault and it just makes me seethe. Like I just have such bad luck sometimes. If anyone decides to sell on Ebay never ever trust information from an indian call center, always go with your gut (i was just gonna send it and say screw him when the refund didn't work.)

Search Omaha the cat dancer Is this the origin of furries? Hardly. Indeed Omaha is low on the furry scale, about .5 more than mithra.
IDK when the furry thing got started but I noticed it in sci-fi fandom in the 70s or 80s. Funny animals go back to ancient Egypt FFS.
I suspect Dionysus might have furry aspects.

Ok that makes sense based off what I'm seeing and what would have made the most sense to begin with. I just can't read that sentence from bg any other way than what I described above.

Low IQ gamers dont understand game mechanics where you have to put the arrow IN the fire to get it aflame instead of just stand in the area.
https://x.com/yasshbhardwajj/status/2035037254415261797
Ngl game sounds solid, but ive also seen a LOT of complaints and they are performance or other gameplay related. Saw a complaint that you have to button mash just to run?

For optic fibers bg states:
Quote: The initial bonus applies to all equipped attachments, while the bonuses from multiple maneuvers only affects attachments of the same element as active maneuvers. So my understanding has been that using a light manuever wouldnt further boost an attachement such as the stabilizer (acc/racc bonus) unless a lightning manuever is on. But using /checkparam <pet>, I can watch my acc (or attack w/ tension spring) increase with each light maneuver even though no other manuevers are on. This added bonus is removed when I remove the stabilizer.
So is my understanding wrong or is bg not correct (anymore).

If everything remains the same, you should be able to do Day 0's objectives on Day 1, which will then roll over into Day 1's objectives. The way last round went, if you canceled or completed an objective from the previous day, you would get the current day's missed objective to replace it. I believe this only worked with a buffer of one day, so you could not just wait till the last day of the event and do everything then.

Quote: Daily objectives which are left incomplete will remain for one daily reset, then be replaced on the second daily reset.
Canceling a daily objective on the day it is received will not result in a new objective taking its place.
Canceling a lingering objective after the first reset, or completing it, will replace it with an objective which was left incomplete from the previous day.

I could definitely believe that could happen, but like, why? Craftsmanship is incredibly simple/cheap compared to the rest of the shield. Less work is less work. I never really needed a gm to restore a dropped item in like 10ish years of play before the recycle bin. I definitely don't need it now.

They should reverse it so destroying mirrors makes them attack more often.

Everybody. Sad news. Our protector, Chuck Norris, has left our plane of existence.
Might want to stock up on food and water, the only reason WW3 hasn't started yet has decided to relocate.
What a legend.
Wrong
The Grim Reaper came for Chuck, but Chuck beat the Grim Reaper. Chuck Norris is the new Grim Reaper.

To post more examples and data.
As I said yesterday I dedicated the full farming session to Blue Race Silks.
Got from 29 to 37 and the latest levels took me this many successful digs:
35>36 = ~64 digs
36>37 = 69 digs
Today I dedicated the entire session to Sky Blue Racing Silks.
As expected it took me half time (~50 mins) to reach the cap (200 Successful digs).
Total amount of digs: ~438
This is close to ~46% success rate.
Compared to my previous rate at lower levels that was ~36% for my previous cap of 100 digs.
Is this because I changed zone? (from East Saruta to Konschstat Highlands) Or because my skill is higher and this grants me a slightly higher chance to find items?
Anyway, these are the data of today's session:
37>38 = ~60
38>39 = 62 successful digs
39>40 = 61 successful digs
40>41 = 28+
Considering in my previous attempt I was already at 69 successful digs and considering it goes up with every level, I would say the "expected" number of successful digs to reach from 37 to 38 was ~70, instead I managed in 60.
Likewise for the following ranks.
The special message you get from Sky Blue Racing Silks seems to have a procrate around 40%? Maybe a bit higher. Lower than 50% at least for the sample of today's 200.
Of course I have zero clue on how to get to conclusions, up to you guys!
Tomorrow want me to go again with Sky Blue or regular Blue? Update from today's session. Went with Sky Blue Racing Silks again.
~415 total digs to reach the cap of 200 succesful ones (is it just a coincidence or I'm slowly reaching the 50% rate?)
40>41 = 68 successful digs
41>42 = 68
42>43 = 72
I still think the Blue Racing Silks provides a better increase in the long run. At least at my current level range.
Each levelup requires more succesful digs, but the difference doesn't seem to be huge atm. ~15 less?
Considering Blue bumps my total daily caps from 200 to 400... it's still in favor of that body over Sky Blue.
I think I prefer Sky Blue though for a simple reason: I can be done in 45 mins.
With the Blue it would require me 1h and 30mins, given my current ratio between total digs and succesful ones.
For someone who has close to 90% succesful digs then I'd go for the Blue Racing Silks for sure.

Yo! This could potentially interest me as my group has recently just exploded.
Our leader has abandoned us for greener pastures and higher mountain tops. The fallout has been catastrophic, and in times of such distress, one can only help to ask: Why?
Your post comes at a time of such need. I prayed and prayed to Altana for answers and she delivers in the form of a new group with a new leader - Mrmme AKA MisterMademoiselle AKA The French Tickler.
I can fill many spots in a 9-boss group, and I hope you give me the chance to pledge my undying allegiance to you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Also, by chance, will we have baguettes at the first teem meeting? Asking for a friend.
