People will always find someone who is against them. The world on your shoulders, and others with not a care in the world. Ultimately though, if you want something, you gotta earn it. I'm not disputing you have had the Eden shell in your inventory for two years, nearly an entire year before myself, but since I've joined, I've been under the impression that Eden has moved on to bigger, better and more frequent things. We've started our own Dynamis shell, and kill Dynamis Lord last Sunday, 1/1 attempts. The linkshell has an amazing 8 Novios in it, as well as Absolute Virtue kills under our belts. Whilst you can say that "If I had sea I would be there for the kill etc", this shit happened when you were away. Do you honestly believe that walking back into the shell some 8-10 months after your departure and a Love Torque, N.Legs or an Adaman would happen to fall upon your lap when others who have been in the shell since you left have been at most camps they can attend?
In our tells earlier on, you mentioned a lack of Haidate. What's the policy on Haidate? You farm the stone, and you get to lot. Even if you came back and the very same day farmed a Diorite, and Haidate dropped from the proceeding Byakko, I'm pretty damn sure that you'd be allowed to lot. Alas, you say that no-one will help you because of one reason and another. The truth of the matter is that everyone who has sea knows the bane of doing CoP, and many would rather not do it again. Personally, I went 2/23 on O/U, and I will never, ever touch that mission ever again. The first time I cleared it, I cleared it with the help of some Edenites, when our schedule was less hectic, when the linkshell was heading to Sea to farm. It's a matter of perseverance (or however you spell it). I'm a believer in making your own luck. I leveled Summoner with for the sole purpose of doing CoP, somethings you have to do in order to progress. And as you saw first hand today, it worked out for you.
If you want something done, do it yourself. Fuck waiting for help. Find people who want the same things as you do, and get it together. I followed Shikigami Weapon's ToD around the clock for 3 weeks straight mentioning it to the LS, not begging, and Juvant said "k let's go kill it", and we did, and I got a Yinyang Robe. Put the effort into something, and you will see the rewards.
But holding a shell in your inventory for two years does not constitute as contributing.
