lol Worth stopping by just for that methinks.

I've had some nice people just give me greens and such out of the blue to help a starting necro out, which was very nice of them.

Well this kinda sucks, but this one guy asked me what my favourite colour was and i replied green so he bought me a set of green dye for my armor, then replied that if i had said black he would have bought me a set of black.... its the thought that counts.

OMG! I've seen another person doing this! His name was Father Ian Brodrick or something, and he was sitting in Foible's Fair International one day. There was a whole circle of characters around him, and in Local chat he was transcribing a children's book about a puppet named Noddy. Everyone who came in did a double take, and then most came and sat quietly in the circle (including myself). It was the cutest thing.

Once, after helping me with a mission, someone gave me 3k, it might not seem like alot, but it seemed like alot to me at the time

I needed help for The Great Northern Wall mission. A guy helped me with that mission, plus all the missions until Amoon Oasis, then ran me to Augury Rock, gave me a req 9 Eternal Shield (which I sold to merchant a few weeks later, when I found a better shield, not knowing it was worth so much =S) and a green bow. ^^

About 3 months ago I was buying the Totem Axe. Asked what it goes for. This guy told me what it went for. He asked why I needed it and I told him ele farming. We talked about spots and builds and he gave me a nice earth offhand for free to go with my Axe. Told me if I ever get an elite monk tome let him know cause he wants one. Literally like 3-4 days later I got one and sold it to him for half price (5k).

Theus Latius · Mar 20, 2008, 03:28 PM // 15:28

well all the guildies in my new guild [URU] are really nice people.

i have been playing guild wars for over 2 years now, but im quite a casual player and have never done any elite areas. they frequently go on elite runs and will invite me and help me set up the correct builds, even giving me tomes for skills and stuff. they are always helpful and never insult me and its cool, i learn a lot because im not afraid to ask questions.

thats often the problem. you are afraid to say that its your first time doing anything because people usually shout noob and rage kick you from groups or whatever... and chances are i have been playing a lot longer than some of them :P

Aera Lure · Mar 20, 2008, 03:43 PM // 15:43

<-- My guild leader and officer of my current guild.

Some members of my previous guild. I have been very fortunate in both regards.

Then, there's a number of people on my friends list that have been there for years, as well as a few people I met here. No names. You all know who you are. Too many stories to recount. Met so many nice people in game. More than outweighs my bad experiences.

One time (long long ago) i was asking around in LA for 50g so i could buy some dye for my armor, and this one guy gave me 5k

And when greens were first introduced i became part of a "trading ring" with some strangers, one of them lent me 20k. ( i saw them in game a year later and paid them back :P)
yeah so they were pretty nice guys

Generosity comes a long way but when it does, it's a great feeling. Especially when giving than receiving.

Drakken Breathes Fire · Mar 20, 2008, 07:34 PM // 19:34

I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet on Guild Wars.

I've seen him too. He's a pretty cool guy. Not cool enough to make me stay in pre-searing, but still.

Sometimes when I'm overstuffed with greens and gold items I go to Kamadan and give them away for free,I have even given out ectos and plat on occasion.

Deathaxe Raizer · Mar 20, 2008, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Got 150k for helping someone getting to forgemaster.

Eldin · Mar 20, 2008, 09:18 PM // 21:18

When they let me (at the time a wimpy R3) do Ursan in DoA.

Snow Bunny · Mar 20, 2008, 09:25 PM // 21:25

I'm one of the nicer players you'll meet

That wouldn't be my criteria at all.

Consider the opposite: the basis for whether a player is a jerk or not is how that player behaves towards other players in this cooperative game. For example, a jerk can be considered one who doesn't play with a team spirit, or who commands or berates other players, or who leaves in the middle of a mission for no good reason (like, dinner is ready or I'm dead, etc.) or who scribbles obscene images on the map view, etc. etc.

So in my mind, a "nice" player is one who really tries to make the other players in the team feel comfortable and have an enjoyable and exciting time while playing this game. And in my opinion that means not only good team play but also a good humor and good spirit.

Here Here. Just like real life...the best people give you their time, understanding, compassion, friendship...not materials.

Eldin, your post does not match you avatar!

Konig Des Todes · Mar 21, 2008, 07:31 PM // 19:31

Kindest person I met? Hard to say, many people are both jerks and nice people. But I can say those who are nice at least most of the time end up in my friend's list. But, no one has given me free stuff then was nice after for very long, or was active afterwards.

acerbity · Mar 21, 2008, 08:28 PM // 20:28

dont know why but this made me feel really warm inside:

me: "grr im gunna explode from frustration, this lag is soooo annoying"
guildie: "x and hug"
me: "I feel special :]"
guildie: "u r"

just really nice to see that some people have their heart in the right place
