jedidude77 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 whether or not I personally help ppl depends on what i'm doing, if it's a friend, i usually will, if not i try my best to explain it to them through messages, but if it gets to complicated for them :roll: i'll have to give up -.- There's no such thing as "wireless."

the_drunk_dude Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I have a problem...when I see someone begging or asking for help i find it difficult if not impossible to refuse.Is this bad or is it a good thing?Should I start refusing to help people?It is doing a big number on my levels seeing as I spend so much time explaining thing to people or bringing them places....Just want your opinions. : OMG u have problems :boohoo: .... okay seriously It all depends what kind of time you have, if you help people because your a nice guy then help them, if you really dont WANT to help them dont. Its really up to you, and btw, refusing to help soemone doesnt make u a bad person :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis_42 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Around 90% (and i'm really not making this up) of the time any questions i'm asked can easily be answered via the knowlage base or world map. So in those cases I often politly ask the player to check either of those places. If it is a question that cannot be answered those ways than generally it is an intelligent question and I am more than happy to take some time and help the player out.

Intse Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Meh, i just mind my own business and have public chat on friends. Much more peaceful that way. I play this game to relax, not be hassled by beggars on every step. Basically ignoring everyone due to public chat being off. :P There is no point in even responding to the people that beg.

HellsBells Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It is a bad thing, these people are scum and deserve to be driven into the dirt, not encouraged by you. I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't help anybody in anyway. Even if all I have to say is-"Mine Copper and Tin and smelt it." It's not my problem they can't read any of the skill guides...Or go on Tip.It. :P Back on a serious note, never help beggars, they beg off you, then they beg off other people, other people are influenced by that person and then everyone starts begging.

SomeWelshGuy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 If a player needs to go somewhere, I tell them how to get there. If they beg for items, I walk away. If a level 10 is standing in Varrock, and asks where is Varrock, I tell them that they are standing there. I do help other players, but I don't go too far out of my way to help.

wizardguy31 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 :lol: I haven't been on tip.it for a while and I just got on and checked this forum and saw these posts O_O pretty interesting :) Nowadays I tend to help people that I can immediately and since the trade limit I can never give much money so I normally just give them a free axe or pick-axe since those are for fairly good money making skills.And if they need runes I just give them any number under 100 (if they're close) since I do a lot of runcrafting in the ZMI anyway XD I tend to not go out of my way to help people unless I know them :) But I'd still like to hear anyone's opinions on this :D So keep 'em coming?

hihihi727 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 that helps with my problem about how i get my levels up....but i have a problem keeping over 1 mill in my bank without giving some to people begging on the streets(in banks) Remember, runescape beggars are NOT people in need! It are people too lazy too work for items and want it the easy way. Think about that. Ok i don't like beggars either but i don't see how you got the idea that people are "too lazy" to work for items. Have you ever considered that you are playing a computer game, and that training slayer or runecrafting or whatever does not count as "hard work"? Maybe the people that beg are too busy in real life to earn items, because they aren't so lazy that they play computer games all day. Of course i don't like begging. But stop acting like you have more money than other people because you "worked" harder, its ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_moocky Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 If I can help someone over PM and I'm not doing something requiring lots of attention, or the use of the chat box (enter X things for example) then I'll help. If not, I don't respond and hope they get the message (if they don't I ignore them). quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 For me, it all depends on the situation. And as someone said above, if someone demands for myself to help, I will tell them no. If they're nice, I'll be happy to help them with what they need. Be it directions to an area, a tele-other or food/anti-poison. I am never busy, so it's the least I can do. And mostly in world 99, and I'm always happy to help a w99'er. ;) "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Master_Smither Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Depends what I'm doing and how they ask.

khandajatt Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 ever since the trade limit, whenever i have been asked to give money i always have give the full amount of trade limit, i dont mind it but some people think we are too easy to fool and once you give them stuff they just keep on asking and asking. For example, yesterday i was on my way to GE to buy something and this guy asked for me and i gave him the trade limit amount, then he asked me if i can lend him my dfs, i did then he freaking made a list of items he wants me to lend him one after another. This is the thing that annoys me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 It's nice to be nice you know? I'll usually give advice when I can (though when I'm woodcutting yews I'm usually too busy reading a book to bother that much) and I try to help people. I don't dish out money though. I remember I was woodcutting for no adequately explored reason and this guy was using a rune hatchet, saying he was cutting yews so he could get a dragon hatchet and I think some other people were laughing at him. So I lent him my dragon hatchet and gave him good luck for his goal. We were all at 'lower' points in the game sometime, I know I would have liked someone to lend be their dragon hatchet when I was cutting away for my own... I edit for the [Tip.It Times].

whocares Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I usually just go to F2P worlds and ask someone to take me to Varrok for example if I'm at Falador just to see if they will. If they are nice enough to help me out then I give them some cash. I used to this more often back before the trade limit, but I do it now too. I asked this guy to take me to Fally and when he did he said he couldn't sell his R2H so I just bought it and sold it in GE for minimum. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do that after I'm finished with mobilizing armies. If someone is asking for my stuff, I won't give it but instead will tell them to go kill men, then sell their bones on the ge. If someone is asking for directions, I'll give them but won't show them the way. If someone is asking me if they can borrow (insert item here) I'll lend it to them if I'm not planning to use it. Oh, and I'll give those "buying knife/rope/mortar and pestle/chisel/law 1-10k ea" people the item for free. Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

Atom Smash40 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I, personally will not go WAY out of my way to help people. if im in the middle of a slayer task and get asked to take someone somewhere, i just verbally explain. If im near the end, ill give then a tele to the area, meet them there, and help them out. Helping people verbally is allright, as you can do other things as you type (click) Plus, good karma = more dk drops I do this, minus slayer and dk ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
