Being nice... is it really worth it?

[Zeddude]

I sometimes have my own Spontanious Moments Of Generosity and give items to a random person who's doing/finishing a quest. Most recently, I gave a partly used Super Set, yak-hide top and bottom, Fremennik Shield, 10 cooked Monkfish, 3 Prayer pots to somebody preparing to fight the Ice Troll King for Fremennik Isles.

 

 

 

It was one of those "Oh, what the heck!" moments and I just decided to hook that guy up and send him on his way.

 

 

 

Hint hint *smile at celestrana*

 

 

 

It is worth to be nice in-game. u feel happier and proud of urself for being nice!

[Infi]

Well recently I gave my friend Full Elegant Red (female) because I felt like it. Then, I proceeded to go to barrows, were I got 3 item chests in a row (2nd one was a double chest). :-w

 

Believe me or not, it happened.

[Star_Fox]

if your nice all the time then people will start taking advantage over you. thats why its important to stay disciplined

[mbrun]

Being nice almost always pays off for me. Most of the time it involves someone asking for an item they need for a quest. I usually give it to them and either get a thank u or some nice cash (ex. charcoal, papyrus, bronze wire, etc)

 

 

 

The other day my friend needed a rune warhammer for our "favorite" clue at fishing guild. I made him an elemental shield (he gave me 14k) and my gf gave him a rune wh on loan. I split the 14k with her. He ended up getting a dark cav and mage comp bow.

 

 

 

Other example of helping people out are giving them food when they are doing melee and I am rangin. Sometimes get some rune arrows or scimmy for just a few lobsters. etc.

:wink: your a true Runescape player! Easy as that!

 

 

 

Now for me, I began playing the game with a couple friends. None of us where rich, we just had fun. I worked my way hard all the way up the ladder to get where I am(even though I still think I'm on the first rung)

 

Now I want others to have the same joy I get when playing the game. Now I am one of those people that see someone in a rune pl8 and med and ask how they like dragon slayer. THey say they liked and spent all there money on this new fancy pl8 =D. I proceed top go to bank and get the parts they need for a rune full! When they get that, the joy is wonderful. Most are like "Thanks a ton, I've been trying to make the money for full rune for a month!" :D Heres the difference. Most higher lvs ask if theres anything to do! Thats what makes them different! I gave a new player 10k. Made his day! Then he pms me asking for more. In my mind he has graduated to a 'noob' stage and gets a warm place in my ignore list :thumbsup:

 

WHat i have found works the best is to help people that are actually doing things to amke money. Feeliung generous. GO mine. Watch those who bank there ore for money! Give them 100k, thats where are future Tip.It/ Good runescape players are!

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

Peace Out and thank you

[highlanders]

Idk if you believe in karma:

 

for every good thing that you do for someone, you will be done something good by someone else in another life. Therefore, you will be repayed for the good deeds you do, but not in your current lifetime, and not by the person you have helped.

 

 

 

However, beware, you will not be repayed the good deeds you have done if they were made in the intention of being repayed(as in scratch my back, and I scratch yours) because that totally corrupts the purpose of 'giving'. Just do good things to people, by not expecting anything in return. Gives you something to ponder about.

[spikerkid]

It's nice to be nice. But when they don't say thank you that's when it bothers me. I'll just be like "no problem.... " or "your welcome..... " Make sure you add the dot dot dot. And add a pissed off sarcastic face in there like -.- >.>

[baalboy5]

I help people that ask and really need help, I don't care if he/she didn't say thanks or anything the real thing is that I proved to a noob that niceness can be givened and he/she can or could pass it to another player.

 

 

 

Like I was spared while being rc pked, so I passed on the niceness in another situation.

 

 

 

Like for example, yesterday I went out of my league to help a noob with ammo for her flamethrower, I went to get her flour, to her where get tar and herbs, I even gave her a tele, she kept saying thanks and all I said was ' be sure to pass this on k" '

[Thatonedude]

Well everyone should try and be nice on any game. I find that the majority of people on Runescape are basically mean to each other and immature. You shouldn't do good things just to receive something in return, but because it's the right thing to do. I'm always nice in both games and in real life.

[swordb88]

its sad in the real world the nice guys finish last :cry:

[Ryuuka]

so many good reply's

[Harrington]

Being nice is definately worth it.

 

 

 

Just because you encounter a lot of rude and ill-mannered people in the game, you shouldn't react the same way.

 

 

 

I mean, in real life, if someone failed to hold a door open for you, would you do the same to the next stranger you see? Or if someone failed to say excuse me or thankyou, would you automatically do the same thing to others? Of course not.

 

 

 

Yeah, you're always going to come across rude and ill-mannered people no matter what you do, be that in-game or in real life. Just ignore them and continue to be well mannered yourself.

 

 

 

Having said all of that, the majority of runescape players are well mannered, you simply don't remember them as much since bad manners stand out.

I think it's worth it to be nice. Just this morning at Rogues Den I was cooking with a few friends and Player A comes up and asks, "Could someone charge my glory please, I haven't finished heros yet" One guy, Player 2, said he'd do it, and they went off. Player comes back, yelling because Player 2 scammed him. Player 2 happened to be there, and he openly told us he took the glory and said it wasn't scamming because he was given the glory. Rule 2 states exactly what he did was against the rules, and everyone got on his case. A lvl 100, scamming a glory. :?

 

 

 

We definitely were being jerks to Player 2, only because he darn well deserved it. I think there is a time and place to be a little mean, but to beginning players who are only asking directions? No, of course not.

i sure hope that lvl 100 got banned, at least for some time....

In a way, it kind of IS pointless to be nice. Countless times I went an extra mile out of my way to help a newb and in the end, they be rude to me and say something like, "Can you please hurry!?!?" or don't even be polite.

 

 

 

Sometimes, though, there are newb who are fun to help. The ones that are polite and give you a conversation. I met this girl at the duel arena. I just won a ton and was gloating to people at the bank. She said let me see, but I was hesitant because she might just beg. But I showed her anyways, maybe it will put some kind of goal in her head.

 

 

 

It did just that. She didn't beg, but rather complimented me, and quickly became my friend. She and I always had nice conversations. I gave her all of my little secret to money-making out of the duel arena(didn't want her to get addicted to staking, it's a bad habit). Since then, she has gained many levels and is now richer then me.

 

 

 

Lately, I've really been thinking about just keeping to myself. So many people beg and annoy me, I feel like slamming my head on my desk many, many times. I try to tell those people nicely to let me be, but then they get mad and yell at me. It is frustrating, and will only get more frustrating.

It's players like this that ruin the game.

 

I'm not rich but if someone asked me to charge their glory and gave it to me it wouldn't even cross my mind to scam it.

It is worth it, I was nice to a friend (I didn't give much free things etc but I gave advice or quest help if they needed) and I got rewarded with this :D

 

 

That person was quiting so wasn't gonna use the money. They have sort of come back and I have offered 800k back but they don't want it :)

If that's the kind of stuff you're hoping for from being nice then I think you're actually money hungry, not nice. :shame: Being nice may have some reward but don't go around trying to be nice to everyone in hopes for some cash. *This is not directed towards matthew_t_d, but rather people that think they'll get rewarded form being nice*

[The Real ET]

I'm always too nice.

 

 

 

I'll help people all the time, but usually make them work a bit.

 

 

 

I hate when people get annoyed when I'm helping them "too slowly" I'm spending my time to help them and they're so rude... it's annoying, but most of them time they'll say thanks and all that and I'll have a good feeling of being helpful. :D

[Paddeeh]

If all RS players with an I.Q lower than their combat held the philosophy that there's no point in being nice, we'd have a game with spammers, scammers, hackers, autoers, and 1000 spam threads about "omfg fre stuf plz i git hakd plzzzzzzz" being posted on RSOF daily......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....wait a second :-k

[Stewie_Griffen]

No. It's really not.

 

 

 

 

 

My policy on death piles is:

 

 

 

 

 

If I see it on the ground, it's mine.

 

 

 

If you were a noob to me before dieing, it's mine.

 

 

 

If you weren't a noob, expect a return of some of the items but I will keep one of them.

 

 

 

If it is at Barrows I will keep any items that you shouldn't bring to Barrows in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

As for my emote, I won't do my emote for that level 73 even if he 'plz rly wnt 2 si it od pl0x'. If he wants to see the Quest Cape emote, he can go and do all the quests. Usually this ends with me being called a noob, which is really funny.

 

 

 

I'll give away free stuff to a friend in need, I'll repay my debts, but if some random level 23 says 'plz od cn i hav sum mmbr st0f' I won't give them 1gp. I earned my cash, they can go earn theirs.
