Why complain to a GM. No one will ever be satisfied with free stuff.

Example: My company owners gave all employees Flips (those little portable video recorder). They purchased them under their own personal pockets. Next day everyone was complaining about it.
Hell it's free stuff!!! They gave you a gift receipt, shut up and exchange it for what you want.

I don't think anyone will be satisfied with free stuff. Just ignore them. Or do something devilish like you did the banned person who returned.

@lucem Most common is stuff like a temporary potion or elixer. Sometimes, you can get a "real" item, like Echo Drops.

I like people flaming those who complain about events in MMOs.
"It's free stuff!"
Yes sure, it's free stuff. Now imagine you're in the street. Someone comes by and give you a rock. Will you jump around and yell "OMG this guy is so generous!!!"? It's a stupid rock, it's worth nothing.
And more seriously when someone in the street give you a flyer for a regroupment of twitchy retards in a dark room with loud noise, do you embrace the guy, lick his shoes and call your baby after his name?

I don't know about FFXI events, but in some games the "gifts" are pretty retarded.

Man, I love these treasure caskets. In my opinion they're some of the coolest things they've added to the game recently, Level Sync aside. I haven't tried MMM yet so we'll see about that.

But I love going around and killing monsters for random loot. My favourite thing is using logic to figure out the brown caskets. Out of like 5 of those that I've tried, I've only failed once. I even got those badass trousers with STR+6 under fire weather.

Eh, you have to think to open the chest. I suppose it could be a little frustrating if you didn't comprehend how the system works. I haven't had much trouble popping them myself.

The Ether +1 that I can't sell to save my life is annoying.

However, some of this gear is just epically thought out. The leg equips from the Dunes. That give 1 STR, unless it's Fire weather, then you get _5 STR_. IN THE DUNES. That's epic. And then you can turn around and put them back on for the Jungle.

Then there's the Blind Ring in Ronfaure. wtf?

And some of it's kind of meh gear. Mokusa? Compared to the GK at 27, it's going to do less damage on your weapon skills. And the Additional Effect triggers 5-10% of the time at best. And the TP it gives leaves you with a lot of 99% swings. But I got to sell that 20k GK.

I have yet to find a reason to complain.

Unless of course he meant "Willing to be a king", that might be considered committing patriarchy.

I think the only time a GM call should be made about those chests is if you open one and it crashes your game. But then, that would be logical, can't have that.

My only complaint about Treasure Caskets is that they don't have pictures of naked Mithras in them.

Edit:
I can understand whining, especially when it’s made to be funny.
When I or someone in my linkshell whines it's usually turned around so that even they can laugh at it. And then, this is the weird part, they drop the topic. Woohoo we had a laugh. Issue resolved.

But why call a GM? I know that seems rhetorical at this point, especially given the amount of morons dealt with daily, but what is the GM going to do anyway?

[GM]Guy: What? You say you don't like some tiny inconsequential thing about this game?
Moron: Yes! You have to fix it! It's your job!
[GM]Guy: Yes. You are right random player who has been playing all of 6 weeks. As was in my job description I will now reprogram the game to your liking.
Moron: Yay!

If FFXI were a restaurant then a moron calling the GM would be like the customer who couldn't decide, in the 25 minutes it took to get to the front of the line, what he wanted. And then whined to you about why your menu doesn’t have exactly what they want right now.

[Cashier]: Yes sir, what can I get for you today?
Moro..."Customer": I want a taco. Why don't you have tacos?
[Cashier]: Because this is a coffee and dessert establishment.
"Customer": Well why the f*** don't you have tacos? I want a taco right NOW!
[Cashier]: Then why did you come here?
[Cashier's Inner Thoughts]: If only this customer had a twist off top....

Sometimes I think it would be best if GMs were more like 911 operators. The ones in my mind anyway. Make a stupid call and don't apologize for wasting people’s time? There will be a squad car at your residence in the next 10 minutes to beat some sense into you. Or just make sure you’re unconscious for a while so you don't make anymore stupid calls.

Until the free stuff is delivered on the wings of a golden moogle and hand-fed to them, they will not stop complaining. That's right, golden.
