respect. honor. and disappointments of others.
Wednesday, November 29, 2006


i wanted to make a brief post, (or i intend on it being brief) about respect and honor. what do these mean to you?

the dictionary says:

re‧spect  /rɪˈspɛkt/ Pronunciation Key - [ri-spekt]

  • esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability:


hon‧or  /ˈɒnər/ Pronunciation Key - [on-er] Pronunciation

  • honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions: a man of honor.
  • a source of credit or distinction: to be an honor to one's family.
  • high respect, as for worth, merit, or rank: to be held in honor.


to me, these are very important. to others, they are apparently not. ive always known people hacked in final fantasy xi. ive known that things were out there that let you cheat. but i guess i maybe slightly blindsided myself as to the extent of how bad people cheat, or at what extent people go to play unfair.

this thread, http://qcdn.org/showthread.php?t=36797 , reveals tons of information.

for example,







    over 2 gigs of hacks. wtf. :( even worse in the thread, they expose a forum, in which they talk about stealing my linkshells omegas and ultimas by pos hacking. even worse-- its someone who i thought i trusted to be legit, someone who always was on the "in" as far as the new stuff. cop back in the day, new NM, new things. someone i xp'd with on their first job to 75 back at NA release, just... wow..... cyronae, you've deeply disappointed me.

    anyways, within the thread, you can read it yourself. our server is one of the few that didnt seem to be that you had to hack and cheat to survive and do well, but it sure appears things are more heading that way.

    chronicles was just brought out a few weeks ago as well.












    and the only response was a search comment:




    this is just depressing to me.... honor, respect, loyalty... anyone with me?
