My story is about me.

My IGN is Nubian King, I like to help the lower level characters with missions or running. I do it because I get bored sometimes when no one is on. I have my own guild and a teamspeak, sometimes I invite people on to make it easier. I recently helped a player named Lord Exii through the first four missions, talked to him the whole time about how to better his warrior. I talked about strategies and tactics, as well as skills and attribute settings. At the end of Noalani mission I had to go and I told him to work on getting armor, he stated I only have 300 gold. So I opened a trade window and gave him 5K. He still messages me wanting to do missions. I meet with him on occasion and try to help him. I have the best bunch of people in my guild, some of which i've played online with for four years. If any of you ever need help with a mission, from Ascalon to Hell's Precipice message me and I'd be glad to help if i'm available.

That's a cool offer Hellboy

.

I wish there was a way to setup a guild for strictly helping out new players. Those dang low lifes would be coming in pretending to be just to get free stuff! Karma will get them one day, when they are 50 and still flipping burgers at a Mickey D's.

Hmm..a while back in CA I was a Monk on a random team with the obligatory wammo..Fiery Dragon Sword,Knight's Armour,the works.Fight starts off the usual way,with him casting mending..but to my shock and awe he put it on me.Later in the battle,I was under pressure,and yet again this paladin surprised me,casting Breeze and Healing Hands to keep me alive.While it's well known that these spells are dross,and that a Monk,never mind a Warrior,shouldn't be carrying any of them,it's the thought that counts..I was genuinely touched.
Another example of an 'Anti Jerk' was also to be found in CA,on the Crags killcount map;the one noone likes.Both teams rushed to the centre,so the fight started early,at about 2:30 mins.Neither team had any healing,and someone had bizarrely laid down eoe,so by 2:10 we were 4:3 up..we hadn't won it yet by any means.However,since this was CA we got the ragequitting retards who left withthe usual 'z0mg why d0 i alWYS get tEH n00b teAM?,'leaving one ranger on his own.Instead of following suit though,this guy gave it his best right until the timer hit zero,despite gettin killed numerous times along the way.While i think that the notion of 'honour' in an online game is bull,there's no reason not to stick to your principles and show a little dignity..as this guy did.
We all know that the number of decent people in GW far outweighs that of the rude morons,you just need people like this once in a while to reconfirm it.

Without trying to sound cliche, there have been too many to count. I've had people give me gold and green weapons, superior runes, and as much as 50k in gold...just out of kindness. And many of these people just came up and gave it to me, then disappear before I could even thank them. I've had people train me to solo, teach me how to beat my dopple when I was just a n00b and help me skill cap when they didn't need anything from that area.

There are a bunch of jerks, as there are in any on line community. But I think the nice people by far out number them.

I've been playing the game for several months, and the two nicest people are the ones that I have met only recently.

One person was a necro while doing the new Tombs. Our group got wiped right after entering (yea, I know :P), and the necro was the only one left standing. Luckily (and unfortunately at the same time), a black dye dropped for me, and a rare weapon dropped for another team member. The necro was nice enough to stick around and wait for the items to become public, pick them up, come back, and gave them back to me and the other team member. Needless to say, I was very surprised at the niceness and traded him 1k for being an upstanding citizen of GW.

The other person was a mesmer on another forum. She posted to give away 2 mesmer greens, which I needed for my mesmer. Me and another person replied and she gave me the mesmer staff in game for free. Very nice person if you ask me.

I hijacked my boyfriend's account to start a fifth character...
I'm in presearing, with the intention of getting all the "free" skills from quests and just leaving. I was at Ashford Abbey asking if anyone wanted to party up for quests when a mesmer answered me, joined up, and we set out for almost all of my ranger quests. I asked if there were any that she needed to do, and she said it was more important for me to do mine...

In 2 days I had them done. She gave me collectors items for armor, and took me to each of the collector locations. She also took the time to explain how the game was played... I didn't have to heart to tell her that this was my fifth character, the others being lvl 20s that have beaten the game...

We got split up at the PvP, but occaisionally PMs to see if I am ok and ask if I need help.

I have been an SS/SV necro for my guild in UW, and for just random monks when I'm bored. Often I'm complimented for fast kills, or for not being an aggro noob, which I find nice. One day with a random guy - I don't know WHAT was wrong, I just couldn't kill the smites. Even though we were at the first group, he had paid the fee... and about to lose favor... he asked me to meet him back in TOA. He got on Teamspeak with me and went over my skills and attributes, and gave me very good advice on small changes that I should make. We lost favor and couldn't go again, but the small changes have made a HUGE difference. I appreciated that gesture.

When I started my monk I was trying to buy a minor rune of healing at ascalon from the trader when my trade window opened and someone was offering a minor healing. I put money in (the amount the trader was asking) and the session cancelled. The seller opened again and whispered that it's free. Ok - so 100g or whatever isn't a big deal... but i still found it nice.

BDStyle · Feb 01, 2006, 09:20 PM // 21:20

I think the kindest act i've seen in guildwars is fromnumerous members of my guild. I'm happy to be part of a very friendly guild that help each other all the time, we share our greens and other high level equipment knowing its goingto a good cause. Others share there time to the point of insanity, some playing for 6 or more hours and only doing missions/runs etc for others for free

Outside of my guild the nicest thing i saw was when i first started ie newbieonly had the game 5mins. I asked for somehelp with the rez signet out of pre. Well he stayed playing with me for 4 hours showing me the ropes in pre and never bothering if i was being slow or awkward. KUDOS Tablett the Tomi, cheers for the help if you read this

Phrozenflame · Feb 01, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

I got ran from Piken to ToA for free by a warrior :O

Ranger Rog · Feb 01, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

I was in a full party out of Granite, about half of us had skills to cap and the rest just wanted to farm for IDS's so we all agreed to help each other get the skills and then go on to the cave and kill imps. We all got our skills and farmed the cave, we finally killed the last couple of imps and an IDS dropped for me, just at the moment I dropped down dead

. I politely asked for a rez and it wasnt very forthcoming. 3 of the players started to camp over the sword while I lay there helpless while some of the others pleaded for fair play and asked for me to be rezzed. I thought about leaving but I didn't want to give them the pleasure so I thought I would at least make them wait a while for the sword. Suddenly I get rebirthed by one of the party who had been standing quietly off to one side and I managed to get the sword and thank the player in question for his sense of fair play. One of the other miserable gits who was trying to steal the sword was none too happy judging by his comments, so I spent the rest of the night whispering "I'm wielding an Icy Dragon Sword" to him

(until I went on his ignore list)

Every once in a while someone will let me borrow their ident kit, since I always forget about it and sell it to merchants on accident.

Other than that, no one has ever done anything spectacularly nice for me

Mustache Mayhem · Feb 01, 2006, 10:48 PM // 22:48

I was in pre-searing one time and this worm came out of the ground and then a ton of other worms.. I was surrounded and died trying to escape! when I got back to town I got called a noob and one guy even called me the guildwars bottomfeeder

I stopped playing for awhile and came back.. only to find my account had been hijacked! and some guy had a trojan in my computer.. I was pissed that was the last straw.. so I got another account and then I met some guy who showed me the ropes but he turned on me in pvp and would'nt heal me over the henchmen! I died like I was on some endless farriswheel.. but when we got to ascalon he gave me a char hide and said there you go buddy!

I got slapped on the butt and sent out to the northern wall

Natalie Bredesfjord · Feb 01, 2006, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Some very generous person gave me 8 ectos for free so i could afford my monk fissure

TheEPIC · Feb 01, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Well, the nicest thing I have ever had done for me was one time when I was in a group at Thirsty River trying to get a lvl 7 ele through who was paying each of us 5k, if we could. Unfortunately we couldn't and some people were jerks and left with the player's money. When I tried to return the player his/her money, the player gave me 5k more and a nice gold battle axe for trying to help and not being a jerk myself.

I know it wasn't all too much but it made my day.

Mr. Meridius · Feb 01, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

I have encountered tons of very nice players on Guild Wars but I'm just gonna share about two people in my guild.

The leader of the guild I am in has multiple accounts and one of them is set aside just for Guild Storage (Crafting materials, weapons, etc) and on Sunday he gave me all the materials I needed for my 15k monk armor. For free!

On saturday another guy in my guild said to come to the hall if you wanted something. I'm always up for getting new stuff so I went. I get there and he runs up to me, opens up a trade, and lays down 50k and didn't want anything for it. I was like

m30wc0w · Feb 01, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Well I was at Droks wiht my first char on the LBS running day

I got a free run to Droks and 6k

I also try to help people a bit. Like the other day I gave a newbie 50 bolts of cloth for free

My guild leader gave me a glob of ectoplasm, last night

I know for some of you that isn't a big deal, but for me it is.

Masta Killa Man · Feb 02, 2006, 12:20 AM // 00:20

Well I can't really remember what anybody has really done super nice for me.But one time when I got my droks ranger armor I dyed it black and went in public and asked if anone wanted to see the specific type of armor dyyed black so maybe they would know what it looked like.Anyways one guys pmed me and said it looked cool and they wanted to get a run but had no money to get the run.So I was happy about my armor and I was really Happy so I gave they guy 3k so he could get the run.It isn't much but I was proud of myself for doing it

thor hammerbane · Feb 02, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

I've been playing guild wars for a long time, and i try to do what i can to my surrounding community. Free runs and items for friends, low prices for people, after all, its not greed wars. I bought an item for 20k, didnt need it, so sold it for 10k. Well, i was selling items and LA when a low level, female necro came up to me and asked for some help. She looked and sounded new, so i decided to help her out. I helped her hunt, i gave her some advice, and some free runes and weapons. We kept in touch and one day she told me to meet her in yaks bend. She opened the trade window, and gave me all her gold. It was only 2k, and i told her i couldn't accept it, she needed it more than me. She said "You mentioned early you were saving for 15k armor, its the least i can do.". This is the first time somebody actually did something back for me, she made me take that money, and we are stil friends to the date.

Kurald Galain · Feb 02, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

The nicest things up to now that happened to me been the 2 Malinons i got for free from a friend along with a superior absorb.
