Ok i have keep quiet long enough !! Beg if you choose to- or not for those
of you who think beggers are a lower from of life but plz remember this my
friends--when a begger (r/l or game) says can you help me-look upon them and
think to yerself, There go I, but for the grace of God!! Sheesh yesterdy I
was in Qeynos, and a player asked me if i had any spare armor or weapons
that i could help a low lvl brother with and I without hesitation said LOL
yes I do. I took him to bank, gave him stuff i was saving for my other
toons, including a shineing star and a GLS,(i just had finished the quest
and changed to a screaming mace, also armor of leather and 4PP. Gave him
advice on where to hunt, and what quests would be good for him. Now i ask
you, how hard is it to give someone who is lower a helping hand?? For
Christs sakes, i can earn it again or i can buy it, whats the big deal--this
is a freaking game and r/l emotions should not come into play here. Yes you
all have a right to yer standards, but again a game that is called
role-playing is just that, a game!!! LOL chill out and try to have some
fun, heh this list amazes me. I do not get annoyed at ppl who ask, if i can
help them i do, if i can not i POLITELY tell them i can not. There are too
many rude ppl in this game, and for those of you who are gonna ask "did you
earn it", DON'T, cuz i earned everything i have. one last thing, its hard
to start out fresh, we all know this, but try to remember what it was like
when ya did, and help when ya can, even if someone is asking for it. I ask
for SOW on occation and i offer to pay for all that, i never ask anyone for
anything usually cuz i enjoy doing it the hard way. Ok sorry i am done now
plz remember this is only a game and have fun. BTW why get annoyed at ppl
who can make 80-120k a year from begging?? you go to work everyday and, LOL,
so do they, heh, begging IS their job!!!! and this is in no way directed at
the writer of this letter alone, i just used this one to do my reply.
