Umm... you're in the wrong thread, you belong in the "biggest jerk" thread (as a front runner)

the nicest thing people do for me is being brutally honest, i used to use a wammo and someone let me know how newbish it was and thank him for that. i respect people who put honesty over cowardess

Just recently the nicest thing happened to me. I created my 4th char, a Ranger, and got to Post-Searing. I was looking for a run to Beacons. After spamming the trade channels finally someone offered me a free trip. So he runs me hitting all the stops, when we get to Beacons he tells me he'll take me all the way to Lions so we go on. We hit LA and he offers a run to Sanctum all still for free.

We get to Sanctum Cay and then he says "this is as far as I can run, I don't know how people run this mission." I tell him the least I could do is show him how to do it. So he runs through it and now we're at the desert. He's ecstatic about knowing how to do the run he offers to run me even more. I tell him I'm good and the only thing I need is Droknar's.

Once again, he offers it for free! We get to the Forge and I try to tip him. He keeps cancelling and even gives me a gold bow that's been collecting dust in his storage.

Talk about a nice guy!

I really haven't had anything too extravagant happen to me besides thing that guildies have done for me, but I won't list them here. The nicest things occured when I was monking suprisingly enough. I was doing THK out of boredom and we failed at the last hurdle as the group decided they wanted to split and have 2 groups of 4 at each gate. After the mission one of the members in the party sent me a message thanking me and basically said I had done a good job. The same thing happened on Hells Precipice. Like I said its really nothing in comparison to some of the things I've read here, but a few words like those are greatly appreciated in my books.

Someone ran me from Augury to every city in the desert for free, because he was testing a build. That was pretty cool.

I needed to buy ingots but miscalculated. The other guy payed me back the money which I payed too much. Got free stuff from my guild, but in my opinion that's what a guild is for, helping eachother out when nescesary

I went ettin farming with my friend and she found a sup absorb there was a other guy wich we were showing how to farm it but she shared it with me

Rilder · Feb 02, 2006, 10:50 AM // 10:50

Me friend leafvander (whove i've been friends with since before Guild Wars Came out (Ex Runescape Players) gave me a dragos flat bow for nothing the other day =) despite us being equal in Wealth. and on the other side though me and leaf are leaders of our guild and we help out peeps on lowby missions to scalp out possible members for guild :P

LordMahal · Feb 02, 2006, 10:58 AM // 10:58

A guy once ran me from LA through Kay mission, to all desert towns and missions for nothing... I just happened to ask for a runner and he was there.
On the flipside, I do nice things for people everyday, not just my guildies.

When I was a new monk someone helped me in one of the missions, he then gave me a great staff with an insightful head and a +enchantment wrapping - although not max it was good enough to use for a long time and I hadnt realised how valuable it was at the time.
He later became a friend, and latterly my guild leader - but at the time he was just a helpful person in a pick up group - he LOVES helping people.

I've also had someone give me all their green drops when we went Oro farming as I was quite poor (but that was a friend)

Overall I've met loads of helpful people in PUGs - I tend to actively recruit PUGs and dont do, or accept, blind invites so I tend to link up with other friendly people.

I've given away lots of stuff to people in PUGs and people in Ascalon - it makes me feel warm and squishy.

Another way of being nice that doesn't involve giving stuff away relates to PUGs - I now have a good guild made up of friendly folks so we always help each other on missions - but we actively invite people to our guild group as pick ups.

I particularly try to give spaces to Rangers / Mesmers who often can't get a group - they tend to have been waiting a lot longer for a group and appreciate being invited - its good for them and good for me as they tend to be more reliable once they GET a group.
As a monk - I always thank Necros for the energy
and as a Necro I provide batteries and wells as support to monks (and have been complimented on that.

whenever im just chilling in outposts and people ask to be ran i do it for them for free
but now that there is obs mode im afraid future runner seekers are screwed

immunis · Feb 02, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

I have to say the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me in the game was a free run not only to droks but back up and all the way around to sanctum kay on my second character, we became really good friends and i was inspired to run people who need it without asking for cash, i cant do the droks run but i can run pretty much anywhere else. Best way to make a game popular is be courteous and helpful to people you dont even know as long as theyre nice enough to say thank you before any run ^_^.

I know I already posted in here once, but I have another story

. Last night I was running around with my post monk (I mostly play my pre E/Mo since its not my account) trying to sell some of my Guild leaders random crap... which I now know isn't crap, but whatev. Anyway, I see a Monk running around in Tats, and it was the first time I'd see a monk in Tats other than the screenshots I've seen on here, so I hop into first person and I'm just kinda looking at the Monk... don't really like the Tats that much, but they're still pretty interesting. She comes up to me and opens a trade window and shows me this gold staff (1/2 recharge/cast 9%, 4 energy, 9 armor health over 50 I believe), and then Wenslauss' Faith... and asks me if I want to buy either. Well, my monk has all of like... 1.4k on her (and seeing as how its not my account, I have no money in storage either... at least not that I can use) so I tell her that all I have is 1.4 and I doubt thats enough for either of them. Well, then she puts the gold staff back into the trade window and just gives it to me.

After that, one of her guildies invites me to a party (they asked me if I wanted to join the guild... and I wanted to, but I'm already a part of my friends guild

) and she left and grabbed her warrior. The two warriors ran around just killing stuff for me... didn't really run me anywhere, but I was willing to follow them around cuz of how nice she was. I thanked her multiple times, because that is insane for a "newb", and she is on my Friends list now

Another story... this time it was from me. I was trying to sell some random stuff in Ashford Abbey, and some Elementalist came up to me and asked me where I got my Armor and Skirt. So, I finished up my trade and offered to run her to where I got them. I ran her all the way to Ranik, helped her get the legs/seeds and did the Apple Basket quest with her. After she got her armors, then we warped to the Abbey again and I got her the boots and Ranik... just cuz she whispered asking where I got my armor

I know its not much, but I hope it helped her out as she's starting. I was also talking to her about where you get skills along the way too... so hopefully some of my random banter helped her.

Well here is mine:

There was this event Called Halloween....and they gave away these pumpkin helmets. Well I logged into LA and then had to leave, so I just stayed logged in for a few hours (life took longer than I thought it would), with the hopes of catching up on the event. Well I missed it. No helm. C'est La Vie.

Well about 3 weeks ago I get a PM from a monk char, he said "Want your Helm?"

The guy had saw my helm drop, picked it up, and saved it all this time in order to give it to me. Pretty kewl huh? Not my normal GW community experience.

I tried to stoke him out at the time with some gear, but I have him on friends and hope to get him a really nice Monk item coming up.

*That* is very thoughtful. Talk about somebody helping someone.

Sitting in Heroes' Ascent last week I believe it was and got a whisper asking if I could monk for their guild group. I accept, they tell me the build and I make it. The match in the Underworld starts and I look at the names of the teams and realize I'm playing with a guild that is fairly well ranked. Few rounds later the guy thanks me for being smart, and adds me to his friend list for future games.

To top it all off, he said to his guildies "See? Player rank doesn't mean a thing" which made me feel good.
