There ain't no party like a gil seller party, Cuz a gil seller party don't stop.

The other day I did a /shout in Jeuno asking for help getting a key in Castle Zvahl Baileys for a piece of my BLM af. A few seconds later, I get a blind invite. I cautiously accept and join the party:

Ronaldos - pld75/war35
Thecry - blm75/whm35
Hhllyk - whm75/blm35
Killyn - blm75/whm35
Rockcoat - blm75/whm35

All notorious gil sellers.

It took me a few seconds to realize who they were, because some of the names were kinda familiar. When it hit me I started to giggle, because these guys were 'supposed' to be efficient killers, so getting my key would be easy. Incorrect.

We warp to Xarcabad and start heading to the castle. Ronaldos is leading with the other mages all on /follow. They stayed on /follow the entire time we partied together, with the exception of any fighting we did.

We get to the castle and Ronaldo informs me that "I no map." I told him I didn't have a map either and we decided to just try our luck.

They had absolutely no idea what we came there to do, despite the fact that there were 3 lvl 75 blms in the party, who had all done this at one point. After about 25min of searching, we finally found the Commander I needed to kill to get my key.

Battle Mode Engaged!

Immediatly Ronaldos charges one of the demons, and the blms all form a line behind him. The whm just rests, as she was not really needed. All of the blms start casting spells at the same time. When their spells hit, they would wait a few seconds and all cast again. It was weird watchign them all cast at the same time, I felt like I was watching a ballet. Within seconds everything around us is very dead, and my key drops.

Ronaldos: {Congratulations!}
Pasquale: {Thank you.} {Castle Zvahl Keep} please
Ronaldos: {Garliage Citadel}???
::pause::
Pasquale: ...What?
::super long pause::
Pasquale: {Castle Zvahl Keep} please?

Three min go by and no one does anything. Suddenly, after what felt like an eternity, all the mages abruptly stand up at the same time, and immediatly /follow Ronaldos. They take off running.

We ran around aimlessly for about 30 min. We just kept running in circles, as Ronaldos was an idiot and had no idea where we were. Finally, I got a /tell saying "I. sleep go," and everyone warped out, thus totally screwing our hero.

I was determined to find the Keep myself, but the mobs surrounding me had other plans, and I was promptly attacked. {Warp} + {Blink} = {yes, please}

So now I sit here, AF-less and alone. Was it wrong to pt with the gil sellers? Maybe, but if using someone to get something done and then not giving them a reward because they will just turn around and sell it to someone is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.
