So...I made a new friend about a week ago. I was training on gaurds (p2p) and he died. I held onto his stuff for him only to see him die again.....and again. Now he has been annoying me all day for the past week. PMing me things such as "are you my friend?" , "how much money do you have" , "where are you" , and just being plain annoying. He wanted to know how to make some easy cash, I told him to pick some flax. After walking him alll the way to seers, I find out that he.....ready?......doesnt know what the bank is for.

 

 

 

What should I do? I dont wanna be mean to him as he really is just trying to be nice.

Just put him on your ignore list. That's what its there for. If you want to try to help him though just refer him to the Knowledge Base.

Tell him your really busy when he wants to hang out with you, explain as pleasantly as you can when he needs help ... tell him to talk to that dude in lumbridge when he needs help again, or refer back to the tutorial when he needs help on something that was clearly told in the tutorial. I have many friends like these :)

I think that would be a little mean though. He's a younger player just trying to be nice.

 

 

 

Gahhh I dont know what to do.

 

 

 

EDIT: I DO tell him im busy most of the time. But he'll start asking questions and then "ARE YOU THERE!" "hello?"

urgh, i hate it when ppl do that, its so annoying

i have similar experiences. Tell them your really busy and cant talk if hes really annoying you. Help him out if you want. Also this guy doesnt know what a bank is for yet he is paying for members?

Omg im not trying to be mean but, HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF GATHERING FLAX IN THE BANK!

 

 

 

Im really thinking about blocking him now.

If he's getting really annoying, the block him. Don't think about it, just do it.

Just say "I got to go" and put him in your ignore list.

 

or...

 

"I'm moving to a far away place with no interent. Bye." and add him to your ignore list.

Not picking on anyone in particular, but I'm going to assume the same people telling you to - in as many words - blow him off, are some of the same people that will rant about the rudeness and discourteouness of the average RS player.

 

 

 

How you treat him now can have a lasting impact on how he continues to interact with others in the game.

 

 

 

If you were the type of person who was quick to put him in your ignore list, you wouldn't have started this thread asking for advice. Kudos to you.

 

 

 

My advice? Leave him in your friends list. Those times that you really want to train in peace, turn your private chat to "off" (unless you've got other friends you want to stay in touch with). Eventually (when you feel your patience has returned), turn private chat back on and answer his questions. If he sees you occasionally, he won't think he was added to your ignore list. He'll just think you don't play as often. The times he's on by himself (or so he thinks), he's just going to have to figure things out for himself (or get someone else's help). Eventually - and it won't take too long - he'll learn the ropes and will crave some solitute of his own and won't pester you as much.

 

 

 

That's what I do. That's my advice. Take it or leave it.

i have ppl on my list liek that i beat aroudn the bush with them:)

 

when they ask question like that i give answers there wernt expecting

VERY well thought out post.. that would pretty much be my advice as well... I know how people treated me when i was a newb affected how i act today.. considering i started 5 years ago and was a little more impressionable. (This guy sounds like he's young, therefore impressionable). Whatever you decide to do.. do it nice and easy.

+2 :mrgreen: very well written, probably the best advice you can give when trying to deal with a young, unexperienced palyer. I pretty much follow a reasonably poitemanner to any lower level player that isnt rude to me and that asks for help.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I dont understand why he would need to borrow 300 gold though.He's like lvl 25 AND a member.

 

 

 

Im just curse failing now though so I guess i'll talk to him.

just buy his flax 100 each and say its the price :twisted: :twisted: he will be happy and you will be happy :)

I actually might just buy it off him becuase im not even sure if he will know how to sell it. I wanna help but he just gets really annoying. :wall:
