Seriously getting tired of this, every time I log in now, I seem to be getting messages from new players "Greeting" their fellow community members, and yet somehow they manage to turn the conversation to how sad they are about their lack of equipment. Sometimes they are not even subtle about it, I kid you not after encountering two new players a couple of weeks back, the third thing they said to me was, and I quote "Oi, vanguard, give us some free shit!!"
Now, I'm going to level with you, I have been given free stuff by fellow members, I have given out at least 300k worth of goodies in terms of prizes for community events and starter kits as well.
I Know I have received free stuff, and yet I have never begged for it, I have never demanded it, and I always try to offer a suitable amount of cash in return.
It all came to a head around a week ago, when new player came up and asked me to enchant his amulet for him. I asked him to give it to me along with a cosmic rune, He then told me he had no cosmic rune, I told him I would enchant it with one of mine, He then presented me with an uncut emerald. He then told me he had no gold bars, no cosmics, no wool to thread the amulet. I then asked how he expected me to enchant a standard stone. He then told me to just get the stuff and give it to him when I was done. I simply told him I had things to do rather than running around al kharad gathering the pieces of an amulet, and cut his stone and gave it him back. He then proceeded to bitch at me through my private message system for 40 minutes before I just got sick of it and blocked him.
Seriously, I do not play this game to cater to the wills of other players, I do not mine essence and cut yews for hours to give you an advantage when you start a new character on this game. If you want help, request it, and if I can help you, I will. Just do not expect me to take serious time out of my time on here to do a menial task. Seriously, you want something made, gather the materials and then talk to me, and do not start having a bitch fit when you find out other players may have stuff they want to do.
FUCK....right, rant over.
