Nobody has really done many nice things for me, but I try to help out people in pre when I can, like giving away spare bear pelts or other quest items that I've picked up along the way. I spent an hour trying to give away eight aloe roots (for the Aidan ranger quest) but had to call it quits when I still had two left. Sad thing is people seem to expect to have to pay for them.

And when someone is offering money for somebody to open the gate and then leave, I quite enjoy saying to them, "I'll do it for free". Partly out of respect for someone who has the patience to try to get to level 20, and partly to stop people making a quick buck.

i ran from ascalon to the henge of denravi plus sanctum cay (i was exploring for my title) so i brought some people along right? when i get to the end, one of the people was so impressed, he wanted to pay me roughly 30k. I was new to the game, and hadnt seen that much money before (obviously a long time ago :P) but because i was exploring, i declined it. The guy then proceded to invite me into his guild, where i met the best people i have ever known in my life, and helped me through so much.

Point is, i like the people that try to pay a lot more than a run is worth, just because you do it for free. theyre rare to find.

A guildie and I went on a run from Ascalon to Yak's Bend, but we had such a giggle with the runner and another guy in the party that nobody wanted to leave once we'd arrived. The run continued through to Sanctum Cay then around the desert - all for free. We added each other to our friends list, and over a year later I still remember it as being one of the best (if unconventional) groups I've ever been in.

Some random person in Droks partied my lvl 12 monk (I was just stood there idling), and proceeded to powerlevel her to 20 for free. He'd just mastered the 55 build (before the AI update) and just wanted to show someone; as well as a lvl 20 monk I also learned how to 55 for myself.

When I pay trips to UW or FoW, I often say when we end there: "125 gold shares appreciated". Thanks to all of those who pay, not for the money, but because you're nice people.

When in Pre-Searing, I sometimes ask people if they need Accros the Wall or if someone would come Charr hunting. A couple of times I've been just helped inside the wall and and told "good hunting". That was friendly. Yes, I know a lot of people have permanent characters in Pre-Searing and have everything done in there, and so have time and will to help other people. One of the things that makes Pre-Searing so nice place.

My special thanks go to my old (ex guild)mates in the game, who always have time to meet me and help transferring items from an account to another. Also when there are game events, we message each others to give advices. Thanks Perkele, Frozen and EVA!

I have an abysmal luck with green drops. And I have really nice and helpful friends from another guild (now allied with them). When we had a green drop event in Cantha and I didn't get Wing to drop his Axe despite farming him all day, a person from this guild joined me, and what do you know, the axe drop for her on our second attempt. So she gave it to me. Thanks Ymoto, you're a gem! Not just for giving it, but for helping.

I was helping a person with a new character and added him to my friends list.
The next day he returned and gave me 3 green items. I asked him what he wanted for them and he said just to help him when I could. I now do just that whenever he asks.

Westofeden · Feb 25, 2007, 11:16 PM // 23:16

I help people out when I can (free items, runs, and general advice < not like I would charge for advice but yea). I don't think any one has done anything nice for me since I started playing lol.

:edit: I take that back a person in my guild sold me some gold for cheap because I needed weapons for my heroes.

Diddy bow · Feb 25, 2007, 11:28 PM // 23:28

the nicesst some1 ever done for me was when i was wondering around on my new in Ascalon and saw some1 free running to to beacons perch so i decided to hop along but we ended up in LA then sanctum cay then the desert! and all for free! but i tipped him in the end cus all the others didnt

.

One thing i remember doing was my guildy has set up a party to cap shield of judment but had to leave quite soon after we left the putpost we eventally got to the bosses mob but it was only me and to others left, but they were loaded with dp. But even though i wasnt capping a lured t mob one at a time then rezzed the others and got them there skill

Well, I just gave my friend 20 shards for his FoW armor

Envious · Feb 26, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

Off the top of my head, I don't think anyone has done anything nice for me. But, I've done some nice things for other people, one instance, I gave a green to an unknown person.

How can someone sell you gold for cheap?

I'm a Godly healer as my friends put it, and I'm often thanked for being in peoples groups. And no, I barely talk about my healing, but I figured I'd tell you guys about it. So I often get compliments about that.

I'm usually nice to people, like I give people free stuff, like golds. Sometimes I'm drunk when I do that... but other times it's just that they need it.

Actually one time I gave someone a runic hammer req 8 10/10 furious armor +5 15%^50 which someone then turned and spammed it on trade with WTS.

So I stopped giving things out for free.

Well, i have a couple more mentions for 'anti-jerk' awards. These two players totally blew me away with their generousity and kindness after actually reading this thread.
They both gave me a load of free dyes to help towards my personal goal of getting a pile to 250 and i may now even achieve it

So a big thanks guys...

You made my day

Maximumraver · Feb 27, 2007, 10:54 AM // 10:54

An ex-guildie who gave me Milius Eye and Milius Pillar for free ^^

ravensong · Feb 27, 2007, 11:07 AM // 11:07

The best thing someone did for me which isnt guildy (couse i give greens and take greens from guild all the time ^^) is when i was just a little nooby mesmer and one kind necro gave me illyana for free,I was sooo happy....and uhm...well when a kind warrior offered to run my ranger from ascalon to lions including maguuma to sanctum cay to droks with all stops for free :-D

cyberjanet · Mar 04, 2007, 07:01 AM // 07:01

I've had a number of people do really nice things for me.

When I first began playing, a guy from Norway teamed up with me to get the rez signet. Once we had it, I asked him how he managed to get the speech bubble above his head. (Yep, I was really new...) He then spent a good bit of time with me showing how a lot of basic things are done. That was just great.

Though I normally try to avoid playing with people (my jerk quotient is very low, unfortunately) I have played in groups that worked well together and put some of the players on my friends list. One of them was so concerned about my armour that he ran me to Beacon's Perch (yes, this was my first character and I was still new, but not as new as above) and then gave me 2k to get to Droks even though I had enough money to pay for the run. He said it was his idea and he would pay for it.

Just recently, someone spent about half an hour explaining to me how Domain of Anguish works, an area I've been reluctant to explore because of the huge anti-n00b feeling. He even took me out and explained the build and the function of the pet... everything.

So to all the friendly helpful people out there, thanks! You've certainly made me aware of how important it is, and I try to follow your example.

Left my name in there because I gave myself permission. Removed the bits and pieces in-between.

Anyone that frequently monks knows that it's not often that you get people nice enough to complement you on your job, so when it does happy, it's always the nicest thing people do for me

MasterAlex · Mar 19, 2007, 08:27 PM // 20:27

This past Saturday I'm in Ascalon with my new lvl8 Warrior. A lvl20 standing next to the xulani says in local chat, Free Fiery Dragon Sword to any low level Warrior. I'm like, okay, I'll bite...

Turned out to be the real deal. I asked him why he was doing this and his response was he just wanted to help a new character out and that he had much better weapons already. Definitely my "lucky weekend".

The two best things that have happened to me lately, are both from guildies.

First, I was satin in our Gh talking to some people in GC when randomly two of them come to the GH, one gives the other a gold r9 deadsword for free i think it was. Then turns to me and offers me a r10 one, i was like

thanks!

And shortly after that i was in search of a perfect gloom shield and i was asking in the guild. One of my guildies said he had a r9 tact fully modded but couldnt sell for less than 100+ around 8-10. Me having only 150k cash asked him if that was enough, he comes out with just 'cos i love you <3

=]

eleet · Mar 19, 2007, 08:53 PM // 20:53
