Yea, lots of beggars lately. One beggar got me just as I entered Everfrost
zone. He eventually begged from my partner as well. Seems he was going down
the entire list of people in the zone. This was no brand-new, clueless
player begging for stuff.

To keep this bard related, I did have a level 1 bard "inspect" me at the
bank and then start begging stuff from me. I told him I'd be happy to give
him any advice, but he started the "please, please, please" replies for
equipment. He started giving me grief after I refused to give him equipment
and I ended up "ignoring" him. In the future, I will not respond to any beg
requests, which is sad as I do like to help those who truly need the help.

I give my older equipment to younger guild members, or sometimes to newbies
who are actually hunting and working hard. I've always appreciated other
players giving me stuff or buffing me when I'm out there hacking away at
rats with my new characters. I really loved it when a level 50 magician
started casting lava shield on me as a level 5 druid. :-)

I'm always happy to give advice or strategies and, of course, locating
corpses.
