All MMOs have beggars. Beggars can be annoying, but this game is still too new and we need players (I'm guessing we lost a bit from the last patch). We need to *encourage* people to play this game, and that means dealing with a bit of pain from time to time.

So here is a simple solution to making beggars completely disappear:

Make beggars sell you something

This turns a beggar into an annoying salesman, reinforces how important trade is, gives you a captive audience to explain how bad begging is, and gives you a opportunity to buy mats/armor/recipes/whatever for very cheap.

That last part is important because it gives you incentive to STFU with all this whining you're doing. Whenever I convince a beggar to sell me something instead of just receiving a donation, I make it very clear that I will not pay market rates for anything. I haggle them like crazy, and I make it clear that they are taking a substantial hit versus selling whatever on the auction house.

Most do not care, as they understand they are paying for the convenience of having X now instead of grinding like crazy to have it later.

Have fun and remember to stay positive. All this negativity is really bumming me out, guys.
