When I began GW I just wanted to level my character and get nice armors. I met a girl named Brit who ran me through the entire game with her Minion Master (this was 2005 when you could have infinite minions).

After I had finished the game and gotten all the nice armors, Brit continued her kindness by getting me addicted to GvG which was the nicest thing anyone had ever done in GW! Champion points are my friend.

Q.F.T.!

I met a couple of new players a couple of weeks ago, they'd been playing for 3 weeks or so, and as I helped them out, I kept an eye on what they were using. The Necro was using Ele skills, one of the warriors was using Mesmer skills, and one of the warriors was, although using warrior skills, never seemed to have heard of Adrenaline. Well after the mission I spoke to them, found out how much experience they had, and, fully expecting them to tell me they were right and I was to leave them alone, proceeded to list the faults with their builds.

Well, it turned out that they were pretty mature, and after we'd improved their builds, and they listened to what I had to say, all the time asking pretty relevant questions, we continued, and I noted comments about how much easier the new builds were to play. We're all now very good friends and have formed an alliance. Newbies, willing to learn, with open minds, are the sort of people who keep my interest in this game...watching them set out and discover things brings back memories.

I LOVE this thread!!
I have met some very interesting folks thru my almost 3 years of killing chit here in GW:

Racthoh..your my smile amongst the blood and gore......
Cat..Your my Tyrian sister..and thank you for always being 'online' when I need to vent myself..and talk about the guildies..(And all that RL stoof too)*hugz*
Nu...<3 ya hon..you showed me how to actually accomplish the art of enraging the mountain trolls..

Everyone that I have met in my guild..alliance, you have helped me see both sides of human nature.
Most of all, I have to say the nicest people I have met don't give away 'free items', they take the time to explain the workings of the game to those that just can't absorb all the happenings of this wonderful, complicated game we love!
Keep up the good community, and always represent your 'better' side, it IS a reward to be human..

*Wallow hugz to all*

I've been playing GW only for a few weeks, I only have one character so far-- a level 15 e/me-- so my skills and experience in the game are limited and I also love to look around and admire the 'scenery'. So I have to say at this point, the nicest people have been those who make missions and questing fun and not try to rush through things.

I went with a group of mostly warriors out of Yak's Bend to complete some quests and those guys cracked me up. They were definitely in the hunt and kill mode and it was a blast. I'd never been out with such a large group of warriors. We completed all the quests in that area with ease and all the time they were just joking with each other while hacking and slashing any red dot that had the misfortune to be on the map. These guys were also patient, no name calling, no jerkoff behavior. Unfortunately, I'm finding to my dismay these guys are the exceptions and not the norm.

Yesterday, I did the Frost Gate mission with some very nice players. At lvl 15 I was the 'baby' of the group but again, they didn't berate me for wanting to watch the cut scenes... hey I'm new, I want to know the storyline...

I don't want or expect people to give me anything, I'm perfectly capable of making money and buying what I need, it makes the game more fun. I used to play another MMORPG and beggers drive me nuts. So above all, I value kindness and patience, and those are the nicest players to me.

trufaux · Jan 07, 2008, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I haven't met someone who I would label "nicest," but I have encountered a few generous folks in Guild Wars. Most of them offered free runs for missions or to outposts. Others gave away some greens and golds. There are also some friendly players who don't rage quit if the party failed a mission or lost in a Halls of Heroes match. For most of the time, it's because they're guildies/alliance members.

The Way Out · Jan 07, 2008, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I just wanted to say thank you to the following people...

Apophis, James, Hell Bent, Volo, Midnight, Sparrow, Pte, Husky, Quinn, Erwin, Charmmed, Armed, Mel, Husky, Paul, Tyler, Grog, and every member of FooL...

FooL started out just Husky Pete and I, both upset with the way our former guild was going. James was our first recruit, and he embodied what we were about... fun and brotherhood. From there, our old Alliance and former guild fell apart and four guilds disjoined and consolidated into FooL. Since then we have had sixty daily active members and the rest logging on within a two week period. We are in the Alliance second to HZH and things are good.

I am also glad that this thread was started. I will be the first to say I often lose track of what I am grateful for and who I am thankful to. Thanks everyone for sharing your time and gameplay with me. You all rock and I log on more because I enjoy spending time with you all.

Later FooLs!

FooL FTW!

The problem here is that your idea of being nice seems to be giving stuff away. If you do that, most of the people that ask for stuff will be scammers and probably better off then you are. The key is to offer help by helping people with missions or answering simple questions to make they're life easier, and just generally being a helpful and nice person when you are in a group. It doesn't take a nice person to give stuff away, only someone who can afford to lose that much. I'm sure if you grouped with people, you would find some mean people, but you would find just as many nice and helpful people that you might enjoy to group with again in the future.

Hailo · Jan 07, 2008, 09:02 PM // 21:02

I have helped a lot of people out over the years I have played GW. This isn't met to brag but if anyone out there sees this that knows I have helped them by giving away literally countless weapons, millions of gold, and many many free runs, and help throughout the game, I hope it really did help yall. I try and do my best to be nice to people in this game, I would have added every single person to my list but I can't since we can only have 100 friends (Anet need to change that).

Aera Lure · Jan 07, 2008, 09:21 PM // 21:21

My list is pretty long, so I count myself lucky as a player over all my time in Guild Wars. It includes the officers and a number of members in my previous guild, my guild leader and officers in my current guild, a few people I met through the forums here, as well as quite a few people I met through the course of play that have remained on my friends list for years. I wont name names here though - you know who you are.

dunky_g · Jan 07, 2008, 10:21 PM // 22:21

i have met hundreds of nice players, i dont pug often and even when i do most the players are nice! but you just need the one to be an arse to put you in a bad mood!

Catrion-Leyt · Jan 08, 2008, 01:35 AM // 01:35

Nicest person...Hmmm...Well, one time this guy beat me in PvP and he didn't call me a noob or anything. Man, the guy is like a saint.

Zahr Dalsk · Jan 08, 2008, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Met some nice people recently; I didn't know the rates of running Sanctum Cay but I decided to run a guy anyways; he said it was 2k last he'd been run but I said he didn't need to pay anything, since I wasn't doing anything else at the time. When we reached Sanctum Cay he gave me 4k.

ApocalypseAzza · Jan 08, 2008, 12:52 PM // 12:52

there was girl i met but was man in real life i scared

Abonai Laguna · Jan 08, 2008, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Well. I gotta say thank you to a few people, since I am here

Gilad Hellingen, for helping me whenever I ask for help. and learned me alot about GW
Smokey Malloney, also for helping me, and learned me a lot about GW!
Death Doll Of T O A, my guild leader, for being an awesome leader.
Tom Sama, my brother. He helped me make a start on guild wars

Yang Whirlwind · Jan 08, 2008, 01:45 PM // 13:45

I have met a lot of nice people - and continue to do so!

Every time I do one of my give-away's or huge sell threads I meet people in pleasant ingame conversation. It can be anything from "thanks a lot man - really appreciate it!" to "I'm really sorry, "I forgot to post a retraction - if you want to, I'll buy it anyway". I do not expect people to be saints, and maybe because I have so low expectations I keep getting pleasantly surprised when people turn out to be warm, polite and considerate!

inf3st · Jan 08, 2008, 03:12 PM // 15:12

A couple years back, I decided to quit GW for a while. Well at the time I was Selling Unid'd Sup Vigors for 100k :P. That should tell you how long ago it was. Well anyway I was lvl 20 monk. And decided I was tired of GW. So I went to one of the first 3 missions in prophecies. Found a kid helped him with a mission. Then give him everything I had. It was his second day playing and alread he had 100k worth of cash and loot :P.

I Logan I · Jan 20, 2008, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Fril Estelin · Jan 20, 2008, 04:48 PM // 16:48

This morning, I was ss/lb farming with a group in Remains. A Vista pop-up window (FTL) stole the application focus, meaning that I died and my group was far away. This nicest guy (Jonas something) comes back and res me! He discovered what Spiked Eggnogs were

Though it's been quite quiet farming Remains, there's been a bunch of nice people around!

-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

If you realy were a nice person, you woudnt need everi1 to know that you are "THAT NICE"

Nice ppl ive met in gw, are random ones, that give you a "think you" or a "your welcome" with no second objectives, while making me laugh. i consider nice ppl to everi1 that help newbies, becuz i know how good it feels to be helped when in lower levels
i ve met some random newbies too, that had a great sense of humor and a great sense of helping each other, thats being nice
