Yes I do have some thoughts in this... I think it also matters on your
race..
As a Noble High elf I find if beneath such a noble calling
I do not give free stuff to beggers. I have never done so and I will not.
Now as a player... I find it somewhat sick that folks feel the need to go
and beg for free stuff instead of tring to go out there and earn it.
well that is just my PoV of the matter
