I don't mind people asking 5s for a horsie ride to god knows where. Anyone asking for 'money, plzzzz' (plz, m8 and all that other crap really annoys the heck out of me. Lazy typists.), gets told to go kill stuff. If they continue to ask, and they're guilded, I contact their GM and file a complaint. If you're in a guild, they should be the ones helping you..

"plz" bugs me, dunno why......i had a level 5 ask me for like 5g when i was trying to get lumber....i told him i was broke anyway(30g) i needed to spend that on repairs and perhaps he could ask me later for help....and he went away...
I have been known in the past to donate 5g to some newbs....but its rare now, i dont like handing out free passes and whilst it may suck farming green cons for cash, ive done it many a time

I hate beggars... i never give 'em any money... i think its sad the new begging trend thats poped up a month or two ago.
why cant ppl hunt for the money like everyone had to do from the start? I sometimes wonder if some people think goa gave us 100g just becuase we joined the daoc-train early on...
I say, dont give away large amount of money to beggers (more than 1g), give them a buff or a friendly advice where to hunt instead.
Support your crafter, they deserve it

lol about 'plz' dont see anything wrong with it, neither do I see it as lazy... as you typed 'GM' and '5s' instead of guild master and silver think its just a personal prejudice each to their own though and im sure beggars get annoying( ) just personally havent seen any yet but im still a lowbie

I think 'PLZ' bugs people since its abbreviating a courtesy into something that sounds insincere. Just a thought.
Have to say, I nearly gave up at level 4, had made mistakes, green cons were owning me, etc... I was getting very frustrated. It was only when someone helped me out that I got over that hurdle, made it to lvl5 and haven't looked back since. I didn't beg, but was sooooooo grateful for that help. Occasionally I would ask someone to explain something if they had time, but that was all.

I don't give to anyone who asks - it's easier that way.
I do have some low level alts, and if I group with some people who do have first char's then I'll give them some cash - it helps us all in the end.

We all know how hard it is in the beginning with keeping your armor up-to-date, same goes for weapons and shield, Im always having trouble getting the armor after the one you get from drops at level two so
But in the other hand of course you dont give money to people who bugs you about it and doesnt appreciate it. I have found nice drops at various places sometimes that I can't use, so I hand it over to someone else, and doesnt even get a 'thanks' so that ticks you off, but still, I DO give money to people who seems to be nice and so on.. some of them still speak to me and have reached level 37 nowadays so it pays off, some turns out to be real friends
and for the short names stuff, I hate "noob,n00bs,pls,plz" dunno why
we have all been "n00bs" so its just the "eliteplayers" who says it to stay elite?
Have fun all

I have no problem with shortenings like; plz, thx, m8, cya, rdy, grp, etc, etc... i use them myself and its not that i dont appriciate the help i get or beeing insincere... its just that i write too slow so some ppl run away before i can write "Thank you for the buff mate" (altho my typing is improved every day)
When it comes to the term n00b and noob, i dislikes it and only uses it when im joking or mad. Just becuace u are lower level doesnt meen u are a newbie.... i was called noob at lvl 35 by someone a few higher levels than me and it still buggs me everytime i see the person.

I try to keep it nice and simple.
I am a weaponcrafter, and new player who needs help, I will craft them a new weapon for free (Bronze, Iron etc ...)
Anyone who asks for 5 Silver for a horse gets it, nothing more annoying then trying to get somewhere and all between are Purp with Aggro.
As for other beggars I reply with /ignore ... anyhow I am a crafter and therefore permanently skint
I hunt, XP, get cash Craft and hunt again (with a bit of dying in the middle)
Cheers

I think crafters get to see the most beggars - particularly if we are sitting by the forge or running consignments - I for one filled up my /ignore file in a coupla days and now am forced to recycle people who hopefully left the game.
If im in generous mood I'll make and enchant full suits of armor and give em away to unguilded characters but I never give in response to a request just on principle (except to mates of course!).
If we dont give they will either go and earn it or leave the game - eithers fine with me!

I am completely with Hendrick on this issue, Spending all my ( and a lot of my guildmates) cash in crafting currently to 700 in armor I do not appreciate people asking me for cash the whole time, and they do, on occasions I have also seen people get a horse all the way to cornwall just to ask the crafters for cash.
When in Cam however I do watch the broadcast chat page and give people advice/answers to questions in private sends and also get people to stick to me and i will take them where they need to go if they do not know the way.. I have also been known to make a set of armor for unguilded low lvls. I have NEVER give money to anyone begging though.
I addition to that, I have been lucky enough to have had lots of hand me down dropped items from guildmates but other than that have got to my lvl on my own merit without the need to beg from anyone

When i started my thane there was a guy, havent seen him since, and have forgotten his name, that dragged my into jordheim and gave me armor and weapons that lasted my until lvl 20. I'm gratefull for this, and i know there are givin peoples. I cant say i never used please. but only do this to ask for a buff or two, pot mainly since i can use my magic's more... And solo yellows faster...

I've worked damn hard to get where I have. I haven't begged, I've always made an effort to say thanks when someone's buffed or rezzed me, with or without me asking. I've been grateful to all those higher levels who've donated an item to me.
I've spent a lot of time xping and crafting and I didn't do it so some lazy sod can beg for that money. If you're particularly polite in a request I might give you an old item I no longer need, but don't bug me about it if I don't.
What annoys me more than anything else is the people who spend so much time begging that if they'd got off their lazy asses and actually hunted for a while would have earned cash AND xp for themselves.
Oh, and the next person who just sends me "wait" before begging is going to catch hell.

As a fair newb myself, im glad to say ive never begged, not because i dont need anything, its because that alot of the time (not always but almost half) i ask a question of a older player, i get 1. Ignored 2. Insulted 3. Ridiculed.
So i now dont ask at all.
I do accept donations if they are given freely, at around lvl 5 i was given a few items (not rare or magical) and i was genuinely grateful.
Then a few days later, 5 minutes after my girlfriend made a character someone gave her 10 gold. Now thats a hell of a lot for a lvl 1 character.
I agree that begging should be done in a polite way, but not all newb are annoying and abusive, just the same that not all Vets are nice and helpfull.
It works both ways.

There are beggers and there are b3gg3erZ.
If someone asks politely and with a well thought out request I'll give them something.
But I don't give to another guild's members, characters with dyed costume, characters 2 levels lower than myself or to aggressive persistant beggers.
Think everyone is happy to help out, well most people, but we don't want to help out idiots.
Begging is a last ditched effort when you're really stuck, not a career.

Hiya's
Only thing I dont like , I got myself to lvl 25 with my Thane mostly solo , no guild , yet I have people from guilds constantly asking for stuff ? When I tell them all I have is what I've found and look above my head "no guildname" I dont have a lot , they usually leave , or I ask why does'nt your guild help ? , I have never gotten a decent answer why ,weird Usually I walk around giving non guild members stuff I have grown out of or are no use to my character type so never have too much anyway .But on a different note I was helping transfer cash last night and was on my ranger when a low level with a guild stopped me and asked if I could give them some cash for an upgrade on armour , this guy was very civil using "pleases" "sir" , you get the picture , appealing to one's vanity , anyway he said he could'nt afford it has his guild was new , I was going to find out the price and buy it for him , he was only lvl 5 , I turned the corner and the group he was with were there at the guild registrar all low lvls and skint , so I welcomed them , wished them good fortune in their new guild and proceeded to give them 2g each , not a lot but they were extremely grateful . Totally different situations even though all had guilds , but the last were new and not well established like others .Waffle waffle waffle...................
