September 19, 200718 yr Regardless of the topic poster's spelling and derogatory comment I believe a good lesson has been brought up. First, it is next to useless to give free items to a player who comes randomly comes up and begs for it. They have learned nothing except that if you keep asking someone will give you free items and you don't have to work for it. It's like the real life lesson, "If you give a man a fish he will eat for the day, but if you teach a man how to fish he will never go hungry again." If you do feel generous and wish to help another player out it would be more beneficial to give some advice on how to play the game so that the player could learn how to become more self reliant. Not all of these beggars are going to want to hear the advice though. Another thing you need to remember when it involves random beggars is that if you choose not to give them anything then it is perfectly alright. Their character will not starve to death. They will not pass out due to dehydration or from being out in the elements too long. They could log out and the next time they log in they will be exactly where they left off. This doesn't mean that you should ever be disrespectful toward anyone. This only leads to a senseless argument that you will never win no matter how right you are. Also, it doesn't mean that you should never ever give anything away. If someone is needing 1 law and I happen to have extras I don't mind helping out. But handing a "noob" 100k for no reason other then they are asking for free stuff is not helping anybody out. Oh and I hope my rather virgin post count on these forums does not discredit what I am trying to say. :(
