F10 and getting abuse - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Orange Milk · Aug 21, 2007, 01:22 PM // 13:22

I used to help people but I gave up. I used to go to Ascolon and find low level people that were guildless, Most that are are new to the game. I would give them weapons and/or runes. Ya know stuff that had non max mods or non max dmg but still solid for lower lvl players. Stuff that was WAY better then what they already had.

But then I started getting griefers. People saying that they wanted something better given to them. Or else they would ask what my scam was. Or else they would take the items without a thank you.

So now that stuff is just merch fodder.

Wow even I didn't know some of these

and I never played counterstrike so didn't know F10 closed that game.
Guess I'll just tell them to type /help from now on.
Thanks for all the responses as I said above it won't put me off helping people
as thats what I like doing most times specially to new players.

I'm quickly turning into an anti-social curmudgeon. I've both tried to help and asked for help only to get loads of abuse. When I was brand new to the game, I asked in town what "LFG" and "GLF" meant. I saw those abbreviations all the time followed by a quest name or a profession name, but had no idea what the speakers meant. The only answers I got to my question was "stupid noob!!"

I've also recently had the worst run of luck while trying to help out guildies on missions.
1. Alliance member asked for help completing Thunderhead Keep on Alliance Chat. I wasn't busy so I said I'd come help. I zoned over to Thunderhead only to find my guildie already in a pug. I joined the pug and we began. This was the absolute worst bunch of players I've had the misfortune to join in awhile. They were all clueless. Once we reached the town, my guildmate said he had to leave and go eat dinner. He left the mission and stuck me with these guys.

2. A guildie begged for help with Aurora Glade. I said I was in the middle of a mission and I'd help after I was done. He said he really couldn't wait, and could I please please please please come now!!!! I was only henching the mission, so I left and warped over to Aurora Glade. Couldn't find my guildie. I asked where he was in Alliance chat and he answers "never mind, I went with a pug." Grrrrrrr.

3. This happened last week and really took the cake! Alliance member asks for help on Alliance chat. "Help with what?", I replied. No answer. Another member offers help as well. Again he says, "Please come help me!!". Again, I replied "Help with what?" He says, "please just come help. I'm in Maatu keep".
So, the other helper and I zone to the Keep and join up with him. Again, we ask what he wants help with. He says, "I don't know. Just help me beat Factions".
"Ok, then do you have Raisu Palace or Imperial Sanctum on your map?". He gives us a blank "huh?" stare. I then ask what's the last mission you've completed. He says Sunjiang District. We both politely tell him that he's only about halfway thru Factions and is not yet ready to "beat" it.
Next he tells us that we just need to run him to the final mission then. We both reply "no" at the same time and he warps out to the Valley dragging us with him. The other helper told him that was kinda rude to warp out without warning us and he proceeded to cuss us out for not running him to Raisu Palace.

If I ever get an inclination to help a guildie again, shoot me.
