I'm here to make something clear. Just because I wear five star armor does not mean that I will join your clan, it does not mean that I will forge your gear, it does not mean I will give you crowns, it does not mean I have CE to spare, and it does not mean that I have time to be bothered by everyone in the Bazaar.

If you see me walking by do me a favor before asking for something. Open your inventory and look at your crowns, and note how much you cherish them. Why do I ask you to do this? It's because I'm perpetually broke. My order of importance is to help myself, then my clan and friends, then herd a few snipes, and after helping Basil clean the fungus from between his toes I might have time to help you. So do everyone a favor, and play the game the way it was meant to be played.

Seconded, here. Also, if

Seconded, here.

Also, if you're going to ask for something, please do a solid and ask first - as opposed to simply firing a point-blank, unexplained trade request with somebody.
You'll spare yourself a lot of ire and a lot of wrath if you just do that first - it can sometimes be the difference between a polite turn-down and an all out verbal beratement.

Let's keep this classy, yeah?

Oh yeah.

I am totally backed up. I'm a nice guy, so I usually give something, but there was a guy who asked ne for 50k. That's effing ridiculous . I only 4* armor for Pete's sake.

New players sure can be

New players sure can be annoying when they keep pestering you for things! My own patience wears thin each time I log on and get waves of new people harassing me for handouts. Good gear takes time and work and the whole point of the game is making it!

Ginzaki, would you like a fellow endgame buddy who still likes to screw around to hang with sometime?

Players keep wondering why I don't lend them 10k...

Seriously?

I'm only in 4* gear. Heck, I'd still be saving up for stuff even if I was in 5* gear.

Yeah, had to tell guy who wanted me to give him a nightblade for free that this really sweet looking armor and gear im wearing and carrying... is also really expensive. sad when you have to explain to someone that you have exactly 135 crowns after getting to 5* gear, and helping out a friend start on 4*. Its sad explaining to beggars that they have more crowns than I do. Its also sad when you consider helping them out in the future when you DO have cash, and then they blow any chance they had of that by trade requesting you so fast that it takes 4 tries to ignore them.

Do what I do...

While I rarely play anymore, when I do and I get a random Trade request, I put all my crowns and CE in there and then start the stopwatch. I see how long it takes them to get the hint that they aren't getting anything from me.

Mean? Meh.. If they think it's cool to spam trades and beg, well, that wastes MY time and is quite annoying. I just repay the favor!

I like putting in a fair sized crown/ce sum into the box and, without clicking confirm and saying anything, see how long they last with the trade window open.

My current record is only 2 minutes and 20 odd seconds though.

Given that I've said not to do it, I'd just file a harassment complaint.

Nothing makes me laugh more in online games than "pros" who feel like they should be entitled to not having to deal with the general public.

I don't understand begging in games at all. I've played a few mmo's and it's never seemed acceptable to beg for money/equipment randomly from strangers. Am I alone in this?

@Dirt

It's not that I don't want to deal with everyone, I just don't have time to bend over backwards for every random person. Plus I'm not a pro, I'm in between, which may be why I don't have time to help. If I had resources I'd be willing to lend a hand, but as it stands I'm short on crowns, short on time, and have quite the inbox full of requests for stuff. Plus, I didn't have to beg to get were I am, I just played the game. I was fully clad in five star gear in less than two weeks. Admittedly it's much harder to do that now. Now this one request I will fulfill though, if you want advanced lessons in stretching your income I've got the time to teach that. As the proverb goes, give a knight a sword and he'll fight well for a week, teach a knight to make a sword and he'll fight well forever...till Vanaduke stomps on him. That's a more advanced lesson though in which we learn that life will sometimes just wizz on you.

It's alright buddy, I understand. For some reason people never bother me for things, despite regularly hanging out in 5* gear.
