goblinmatt12 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivion2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUnder Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 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 am a paint noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblinmatt12 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 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?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrider Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblinmatt12 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverchipmunk Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If he's getting really annoying, the block him. Don't think about it, just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 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. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Dr_Elephant Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 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.

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. ^^Thanks Mom!^^Join the petition for a new bank page layout!Your character is rockin' out to the RuneScape iLyre. It's like a medieval iPod!

Take it or leave it. +1 =D> =D> =D> +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. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

goblinmatt12 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
