Absolutely against it.
As a higher level character, I have been known to turn around, from
a begger, and give to EVERYONE else except the one asking. I will
voluntarily give things away.

If you ask your chances of getting ANYTHING just went down to nil.

Sorry. If you ask me for money I'm going to tell you to go kill
fire beetles, etc. And keep EVERYTHING to sell for loot.

If you ask me for a handout and you're wearing better than I am, I may
not even be that kind as to answer.
