Blubber Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Just a quick note: Be nice to everyone around you in RuneScape and try your best to help new players that are just starting out. O:) :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadsOFire Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I help people when I have time to. But I can't be nice all of the time. I'll answer ANY questions, but I'm not going to go and have a drop party each day for new users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpeplowski Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 While I don't want to sound like a scroodge, I don't give free items to players for the same reason that you're not supposed to feed animals at the zoo. It will encourage begging. What I would do is show them ways to make money instead. But, it's always nice to get free stoofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion999 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I did this for a lvl 103 while I was getting planks about 2 weeks ago. Made me feel nice. :wink: Also sometimes When I'm in a good mood I'll walk around with a full inventory of full Iron Bronze and Steel sets and drop em' around Lumbridge for the new people.

Giordano Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Once this guy gave me like 500 iron bars in a trade. I made a lot of iron aets and dropped them in Lumby. One guy thought someone "hax" Jagex and made iron sets lol :lol: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Kill_Thomas9 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 when i was f2p I didnt have anything to do, so i walkied around and helped people with quests. Now I am P2P and there arent as many people every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I help all the time, I just never post about it. I really only tell people where to go and stuff but I give drop parties for f2p when I have extra stuff. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

Dexek Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I help people out daily. I don't too oftenly give free items, unless it is related to a skill I am training, such as a few free addy ores here... 10k there, nothing huge. I think that the more you help people, the more likely you will be helped when you need it... karma. It also helps you to become well known, and respected. :D PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

888Link Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have to dissagree for the most part. While giving away free stuff to needy people sounds rewarding and heart warming, it really isn't. I just spent the last hour or so giving away 20 sets of iron to low levels in lumby. Though I did it through trades, not dropping. And I must say, it's more work then it's worth, and it's not worth much except for your own satisfaction. Every trade I was meet with low levels not responding, or trying to give me random junk for the full iron. It was really annoying to the point where I yelled out. "God, can't a guy do a good dead!" I would have just dropped it all, but I wanted to give full sets to people who were training hard, and working hard. And after giving all theses iron sets away, what do I get. Not a single thankyou from 1. Hell, I didn't even get an abbreviated ty, or a thanks, nada, nothing, nothing at all. I'm telling you, that's the last time I give out free things, the very last time.

jackalope14 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Being nice does feel good :P . I gave a new player 5k and now we because good friends and I help him out with quests. Its always worth it if you make a friend in the process. (And not "friends" who just wants more money out of you :? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always worth it if you make a friend in the process. (And not a "friends" who just wants more money out of you :? ) That's happened to me so much.. It's discouraging when you like to give players some items that you don't need.. Sadly, those are the only people I've met.. I would usually give them a couple oaks (All I had at the time, lol.) and I thought well they could sell them.. I wouldn't get a thank-you, they'd asked to be friends, then they would spam my private chat for more stuff, every minute I'm on.. Defiently discouraging.. Where all the nice players? :? Wha.. What..? Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jguyjava Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I like to give lower-level players (I'm a 46) extra stuff sometime, like cash; I also like to give away food when I'm getting Fishing XP, and I'll give it to pretty much anyone. Anyway, I'm gonna try making armor and giving it away in Lumby soon. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apostledanub Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Strange, everytime I help I hear "Thank you!" But I also have a friend who tries to get some stuff outta me, but he does'nt spam me private chat for it. I already gave him a Blessed Holy Symbol and full steel. Now I think he will stop for a while, he pked someone and got a maple shortbow. ^^ (And oh yeah, we're both F2P) Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when Leeroy Jenkins guides you into your death.

ukegbluebird Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I started giving out any stuff i didnt need to newer players to the point of giving away full addys, addy picks and hatchets, basically anything under rune. But i have had to stop this due to the amount of constant spam i get in my private, saying "hey remember me, you got any more free stuff" yada yada yada, the minority will always spoil it for the majority. I now only tend to speak to the people that i met at the start of my time in rs, and generally to higher lvl players than me that i have asked to help me with something.
