Be it this or any relative form. I would like to know what you all think about begging in a game. I have been lvl 10, knowing near to noone in Mir and offered 10k to another noob to help. I have got some money from someone lvl 22+ the following day who just stopped asked if I am new and dropped that gold.This is a style of playing I understand well and enjoy on phoenix. But I never had any problems to pay for my equipment. What I can't really understand is this begging around by some n00bs. I went to MW the other day finding a lvl 8 Tao in the city asking for money. I had encountered two lvl 10+ chars before asking for pots. Then another asked for money. Finally this IMHO out of place level 8 Tao asked the question u have 2k for me? I always try to be helpful (even carrying more DEs with me, because it is the most asked item ) but this time I got tired of begging and said No. You can't believe what followed. This n00b started complaining what I am a bad player, the talking about phoenix being kind is all lies and such. I despise everything concerning PKing but this n00b showed me how it might have come to it the very first time. I don't think being kind and helpful has anything in common with feeding up this born-to-beg characters running around in towns, but I would like to know your view of it. Sanaril, Warrior |

I dont mind giving money and items to newbies and people coming from dragon to try out the server that i know. But beggers that beg day in and day out really annoy me. The ones that ask for 2k and once you give them it they ask someone else, then someone else, then come back to you again. Like wtf lolSome newbies also annoy me, the ones that are pretty dumb! "can i have 5k pls I say "no, but take these items to sell and you'll get over 5k in gold, then they go onto say "no i want 5k" Grrrrr how dumb, how lazy and how annoying! lol It was people like this that started my red days on Dragon!

*Best Ever Begging Attempt*I was AFK in MW minding my own buisness, eating dinner etc etc, keeping an eye on the chat, when low and behold a shout appears... "Can Any Nice Person Lend Me 16k To Teleport To BW" I casually ignored this and carried on with my dinner, this message was constantly ringing around MW for about 20 mins untill someone shouted back "Why Dont You Just Run It Like We All Used To Have To" to which he recieved a reply "I Cant You Moron Im In A Hurry And Need To Get There Quickly" Now this made me smile, as we all know that although a mission, it takes no more than 10 real minutes to run there killing as you go, I was AFK for a further 15 mins and still it went on, in the end I just teled to BC with a big grin on my face. Give the guy his due, it was worth a go A means to an end my brother The day of the weasel will come |

LMFAO  ] I know of another begger name of AZNnewbie. But I actually saw him in the connecting path the other day. "Out making your own money today" I said, he just lol. I don't mind helping noobs out, it's kinda rewarding like some guy came into Genko drug store asking for low lvl tao stuff. I told him no as you do sometimes (lent most my old gear out) but then I said I'll give him money for those damn fruits. So I gave him 10k for a couple of fruits to get him started. He was from dragon and was quite bewildered by my gift. He had only just turned lvl 11 and after talking to him turns out we used to live in same part of Scotland!

Another point. I will never give cash to anyone who appears to be level 7 ish or below as for all we know they may only be on trial mode.~A journey of a thousand~ ~~miles must begin with~~ ~~~~~a single step~~~~ |

I frequently help out noobs i meet in Ginko. Helping to lvl em to 7 or 8 and kitting them out. But i will never help a begger. It completely does my head in when they walk up to you and say "gold pleeeze". WTF i never begged once for anything and i never will. If i'm skint ill rather go kill deer to earn enough to buy an pickaxe and mine. Beggers beware if you ask you get nothing from me. If i see someone in trouble i will help them out. Personally i think the worst thing is when they walk up to you. Whisper "gold please" and open the damned transaction screen. AAAARGH FFS AAAARGH Btw has anyone got a Soul Spring Wand they dont want? I'm Skint but ill say thanks in a very polite way.
