Just wondering this because every time ive asked people a question i get ignored, now either they dont understand english or they are ignorant. If its the latter then maybe when you ask a question i may ignore you.

I think its ignorant to assume everyone on mid excal are non-english speaking because a few ignored your question.

1 . Your probably PM'ing peoples BB's .. in that case then you need to wait, as the main person is probably busy killing enemy's in NF (or getting Zerged)

2 . The person is just AFK.

3 . Or as you said, there just plane Ignorant.

I dont mind people pm'ing me for questions, advice or just a general chat, but as Helme stated above, If you want cash or Items then move along..... :flame:

That's being arrogant, whats worse? arrogance or ignorance?

:puke:

But yes, you don't want to PM all the pre-NF-leet-meights if you want to ask a question.

well asking for money or items is ok imo,
but....!!
keep it to your level, asking for lvl50 items as a lvl5 is plain arogant.
i used to be very loose with my cash until one day the following happened.
this was pre toa...i was sitting in aegir and chatting on /gu and was following some guy asking people for money, and no one gave him the time of day, so i pm'ed him, he told me his was from pryd and had a lvl35'ish armsman there, but he found it hard to find grp's and so on so wanted to try out excal and midgård, he was a lvl13 rune master, and he was having alot of trouble finding groups, and couldnt really solo since he died so fast.
so i took pity on the chap and told him to please wait 5-10mins..and I'd sort him out abit, he said cool and waited...i logged my tailor, made some armor for him, and a cloak..i gave him this + a rog lvl 20'ish staff and 10g..
Now then..as i put this in the trade window here was his response..

<random guy> sends: Thats it !!!??
<me> sends: ?
<random guy> sends: This is what i've been waiting 10mins for ??
<me> sends: aye :D enjoy and gl
<random guy> sends: bah.! thanks for nothing asshole!!!
i cancelled the trade
<random guy> sends: why you cancel ??
<random guy> sends: so are you gona give me my items ?
<me> sends: no, i dont take kindly to rudeness from people i try to help sry
<random guy> sends: ok lol n00b.!
<me> sends: good luck
<random guy> sends: FU

this kinda killed my willingness to help random lowbies, and altho i stil do it from time to time, i find more than often i ignore them "politely" with a simply sry cant help or sry i'm kinda broke my self

Olgaline, that is sooo sad but also true. I crafted a little guy in Aegirs some chain to help him out and he pm'd me: 'finished already dude hurry up'...I deleted the armor...

Most people, Awarkle, are more than willing to help/answer questions. But give us some time to respond, you may indeed be asking a BB or a crafter (I love to craft and watch dvd) or you just pm'd somebody who is in battle or just plain afk!

Aftar all..we are just people behind a monitor, not uberl33t t00ns

Or you have pm:d someone in the defence bg...

Between full time spam from /bu, being in a guild with somewhat spammy guild / officer channel I am happy if I manage to read half of it.

Totally agree :)

And it always amazes me that people don't use what mythic provide:

Where is the action: = /rw

Skald LFG = /bg groups

Who has defence BG = /who BG (Normally Udobeth or Ladonna anyway and in Odin's or Jamtland!)

Your community is not as rosy as you paint it tbh, more often than not hibs there always find an excuse to be lazy bastids and not help most of the time. And i'd say around 90% of the time you can't do anything there without zerging it tbh else you give up and decide that you can't do it. Also don't forget there's a high level of ignorance of hib prydwen in other words high apathy level, so pot and kettle comes to mind tbh. Finally none of you have the spirit to go out there and just do things like things do happen here, everything is organised via the forum, in fact you can't do anything most of the time without prydwen.net - which = ubah prolonged gameplay time and secondly a lack of willingness to come together on most occasions just simply to get things done.
