I have 2 stories about some of the nicest people I've met

First story: Tryign to get into pvp a little more and needed some advice and hints when first crossing over. Messaged someone on here who was very helpful and nice and gave me some great advice that i still use and remember to this day and has helped me in pvp, helped me make friends that tomb a lot and take me along as the advice and hints practiced have proven for me to be usefull to almost any group.

Second story: when getting my FOW armor for my monk in pve, we cleared the forgemaster and i got my armor and continued questing. i had 2 shards drop from one group, but upon killing the group i got an err=7 before being able to pick them up. The ele in our party picked them up for me and added me to his friends list and gave them to me as he said that for being the only healer (our other monk was a smite monk that we could no longer res) that i had earned them and gave me the 2 shards that dropped next time he saw me online. I about fainted. I was nice enought to split it and give him one for going through all that trouble as to hunt me down to give them to me. he was greatful because it was his first char and needed some help. he traded the shard for the fire collectors staff and a +4 insightful head and +20 fort wrap and was happy. He stayed on my friends list and we still talk and quest together occasionally

Here's something fun that I do for my guild that people see as very nice. I will hold a weekly 'Hide and Seek' day. This involves me giving a clue as to which town I'm in, and when a guildie finds me I give him/her a nice prize. I usually hold onto gold weapons/items I won't use and save them for this weekly event, when those are gone I usually give away 3-5k prizes. Usually amounts to 50-75k worth of stuff/cash in about an hour. (trickle-down economics that actually works

)

Jerk: A max dmg gold crystaline sword last time I went in.
Me: And you don't feel bad about it?
Jerk: Nope
Me: Why?
Jerk: Other people do it all the time and one did it to me!
Why wouldn't I?
Me: *leaves*

Well said and exactly right Truthbarron - this thread was created to share good deeds or relate good experiences with OTHER players in the game.

Not to take away the ME-horn for those who are tooting it, but........

I think the one thing everyone can take from this thread is how impactful a nice player is on our gaming experience. It's truly sad that it stands out so much that we'll add them to our friends list, that the experience is almost foreign to us. Says allot for how many griefing/self righteous/hollierthanthou gamers are out there.

Kudo's to all who've impressed themselves upon others in-game...in a good way!! /clap /cheer /bow

Medion · Oct 18, 2005, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Although it has been a long time ago, I met someone who I did lots of questing with. He didn`t give me anything and I didn`t give him anything. We were just friends who liked to do questing together. And that is the nicest person (apart from my RL-friends and <most of> my guildmates) I met.

Also, everytime I meet someone really nice, it is because we are in a difficult mission/quest, which actually is not such a quest which can be run.
To the ppl who say there are only very few nice ppl. Try do those quest, you will get to know the others better.

Knew I recognized that name somewhere

The nicest guy in Guild Wars "loaned" me 45 plat and then when I tried to repay him he refused to take my money.

Iere · Oct 18, 2005, 08:35 PM // 20:35

Most awesome people in guildwars:

I got in a group (something like my fifth) for Ring of Fire. To begin with, there was me and another monk and then your average PUG- a bunch of warriors ran ahead, died, and left, etc.

We got back to Ring of Fire, and the other monk and I agreed not to leave, that we'd make our own group- take note that there was still one or two people from our old group, some GOOD people.

So we put out an advertisement for a few fun people to do ring of fire with.

Then we went in, with three rangers, two monks, two warriors, and an ele-- and we did it. Not easily, but it was perhaps the most awesome time I have ever had. There was a ranger who chattered about everything, the other monk who got more and more drunk- and synced better with me the more wasted she got. There were other people, a few cynicists who put in some biting commentary and one or two quiet folks... but there was not ten seconds that went by where there was no chat. It was really. bloody. awesome.

Then there were the monks in grotto who immediately got me in on a sync dance as soon as I zoned in, the elementalist in ToA yesterday who I chatted with as we were waiting for favor and bemoaning high school courses, and the group who actually made it easy for me to heal seven at once with only my own energy.

For some reason, everyone's nicer to my monk than to my necro -_-

After spending an awful lot of time reading the "Biggest Jerk You've Ever Encountered"-thread (and laughed), I thought that there might be ppl out there who've met some nice folks in GW.

I know that guildies often help out with money, time, help, items and stuff but I've met an astounding amount of ppl in-game who don't know me but nonetheless are willing to lend a hand, a rez, their time and/or a spell. I'm in a tiny guild exclusively made up by ppl I used to play RP with (in real life) 15 years ago - aka my best friends - but they don't have as much time to play GW as I do and that's why it's nice to find that total strangers are actually willing to help you (or... me

) out.

I acquired the wonderful Crimson Carapace Shield with the help of one Lord D.....l who also introduced me to the art of farming. And now I farm a lot, I guess I should add. Before the shield was hard to come by, he turned up with his Mo/X and did his thing while I was bashing griffs. I know that this thread most likely won't bring up names of ppl who don't want the praise but I could imagine Lord D getting a lot of unwanted attention - and I merely want to thank him and all the hundreds of ppl who have aided me.

To keep karma, I give stuff away and sometimes run ppl for free, though I guess I'll never be able to do the Drok run. Oh well...

Apart from your (*sigh*) very nice guildies, who have helped you out and how?

chris_nin00 · Nov 09, 2005, 11:41 PM // 23:41

I've seen this type of thread and it never lives like the jerk one.

The nicest person I ever met in guild wars was myself...
-I'm a nice guy
-with some nice dreams
-see these ice cubes
-see these ice creams?

EternalTempest · Nov 09, 2005, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I'll call him X Jr

Was trying to do bonus mission for one of the desert missions. Getting a good pug is hard for bonus stuff there. We had to do the desert one twice. That night, knocked out one dessert and two lower shiver peaks bonus missions with him.

That and he had a great sense of humor. He used the slow staff in Dunes (I think) acting as a gear tank and was dancing while we nuked the stuff that was trying to rush us at the entrance.

kg_lildude1 · Nov 09, 2005, 11:47 PM // 23:47

i'll have to stick with chris and say that the nicest person i've met in gw is myself

-i do free runs, although tips are always welcome
-i often do ascalon->cay for free/tips
-i offer help on the hard mission areas, yes even the long ass ones
-i will farm for friends and not expect money back

i stay guildless so i can help everyone out, unless you see me in pvp

even in pvp i don't badmouth at all, i just play the game like it was meant to be

master_ranger_matt · Nov 10, 2005, 12:01 AM // 00:01

The nicest person i've met is this dude who bought my sister (she has an ascended nuker on my account) a set of full forge armor. He always helps her out with quests and missions. No one has bothered to help me much though, everything i have I earned myself.

Lews · Nov 10, 2005, 12:12 AM // 00:12

The nicest guy I've met was this guy named Death of Discworld. He introduced me to PvP, got me my Tiger, and gave me tons of sigils. He is just so nice. I recommend him if you ever need someone for Tombs, since he can do pretty much anything.

I <3 Death!

skimo · Nov 10, 2005, 12:22 AM // 00:22

The nicest people I've ever met were usually rare but these pickup groups really were fun to work with, as they would laugh at my corny jokes ;D. Other than that, I haven't really met anyone and considering that I'm still pretty new, I'd like to have more friends on my friendslist than just my school mate. Talk to me sometime and I say lets make a more friendlier community than the one those "jerks" create.

Tzhebee · Nov 10, 2005, 12:26 AM // 00:26

Well, maybe not the nicest, but the most recent that I remember.

I was going to make a trade with another member on here, who happened to be in TOA at the time. I typed his name to find him faster and ended up joining the PUG he was in for a UW run. I was the only monk in an 8 man group. There were 4 tanks who all decided to tank (instead of waiting for 1 to get full aggro). Needless to say, they died and starting yelling at me all the stupid "WTF Monk, where's the Heal?" "Stupid monk" "heal me heal me" "rez me rez me" etc. and just being jerks.

But then, one guy started typing things like "hey give him a break, he's only ONE monk, how much can you expect him to do" and other stuff like that.

It was nice to have someone stick up for me and realize that it wasn't my fault.

{IceFire} · Nov 10, 2005, 12:29 AM // 00:29

no ones ever really given me much.

i know one guy w/ fissure armor whos really nice to me and gives me pcs/mentors me on the economy of the game.

one guy who has 3 crystallines, one 15>50, who he found on the same day and is like nice i guess

ive probably given out like 50k total so now im low on cash. anyways.

have fun with the game!

Lord Oranos · Nov 10, 2005, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Most of the nicest people Ive met are the people I recruited into my guild.
Heh, sometimes you get a very good player when you recruit.

darkMishkin · Nov 10, 2005, 01:01 AM // 01:01

What seems to happen to me alot is that I'm in a bad mood and I get angry with someone, say something nasty; they've done something stupid but me getting angry isn't called for. They then inform me of this usually with lots of swearing.

We argue for a bit in PM, then both apologise, compliment eachother, get the mission done and those people turn out the best gw friends I've made.

I frickin wierd.

Also there was the time I was trading some green item for 100k, but the trade kept getting canceled. After I while I suggested we both step outside, drop the items/gold and run and pick them up... I am good at clever.
We went out and both dropped the items, swapped places and then I tried to pick up the 100k he'd dropped for me. Of course the reason the trade window was cancelling on accept was that I was already carrying money so I didn't have room for my 100k: uh-oh, I'm ripe for the scamming, he has his staff, I can't pick up the money. BUT HE WAS A NICE GUY YAY
He picked up the money, we went back to town and he paid me what he said he would.
