Curse

The other day someone in the alliance wanted to buy white dye and asked if anyone had any. I told him I had one and he asked for a price, I asked for 2K. That got a laugh from the alliance because they didn't think I know what its worth and treating my like a noob for it. But in all honesty I know what its worth and I just feel like I should help out the alliance and not be greedy from them.
Anyone else have this problem?

Never had it myself.... I'm an extremely friendly alliance, no put-downs whatsoever.

Sounds to me like its just a few assholes you have in one of the guilds there, just ignore them mate, its good that you're discounting for your allies.

Tell them to get a can of harden the F*** Up and stop being children about it.

Miral · Jul 11, 2007, 07:24 AM // 07:24

wow... you need a new alliance.
I'd expect that in local chat, but from your alliance?

Happens everywhere in GW. I just spent over an hour handing out Monk Starter Kits (A noob green staff, a vitae, and 50g), when a girl I just handed a kit to starts PMing me calling me a scammer.

What can you do? The world works pretty much the same way, when it comes down to it.

Find a new Alliance, though... They do get better than that... But not by much.

welcome to GW- a wretched hive of scum and villany.

I just think that's funny because it seems no matter what you would do, they probably wouldn't be satisfied. First, since you undercharged, they accused you of being a noob. Second, if you charged the going rate, they'd probably bitch that they didn't get a discount and if you overcharged, you'd still be a noob.

Clearly you either need a new alliance or just don't help those ungrateful jerks.

wow, instead of thanking you, they insult you...

^^what they said. find new grounds.

Redfeather1975 · Jul 11, 2007, 07:50 AM // 07:50

People are like that everywhere.
I gave a Master to someone in EQ2 for free! For free!
Back then, items like that sold for a few plat (that is a lot back then!)

The guildie left right after I gave him the Master to join a raiding guild.

Malice Black · Jul 11, 2007, 07:54 AM // 07:54

This is why I never give anything and never take anything.

Sounds like some of the people who complain about the weekend bonus events we get...they'd probably complain if Anet stopped doing them.

QFT...clearly they are not worthy of having you around. Find a nicer guild/alliance...

Get over it... it is a game. If your family would act like this, you would have a problem. Or is your family in that alliance

?

Roshi_ikkyu · Jul 11, 2007, 08:22 AM // 08:22

I do what ever I can for Alliance, often giving away dye for free or even items (And the odd green). If I ever ask for money its small and almost laugable compaired to the price of an item. But I always expect the person to re-pay the favour to the Alliance. Kinda like a GW pay it forwards.

If they reacted like that you should move on.

Mad King Corn · Jul 11, 2007, 08:24 AM // 08:24

I have not had that type of problem with my alliance, but the other day I was booted out of a group (shiro and lich mission) because the monk leader thought that my interrupt ranger should not have any self heals.

well just take solace knowing the party probably eventually wiped because the monk wasn't uber like he was in his own little world.

freekedoutfish · Jul 11, 2007, 09:23 AM // 09:23

Depends if they were joking or genuinely ripping into you?

If they were being complete jerks and taking the pee pee, then get out of the alliance and tell them to grow up.

I learned many a year ago to *never* do anything unless you want too - it will rarely be appreciated. This is fairly true in real life also, even more so on the net.

That's not to say never volunteer or never donate anything, but rather do so because *you* want too. I know it sucks to get that type of reaction, but if you do it because you know it is the right thing to do then you will never be personally disappointed (though you will still be disappointed in others). People will always find something to bitch about - you should have given more, they really wanted B when you gave A, they already do everything (or some other reason) so the *deserve* it (this is usually coupled with you didn't do enough), and a myriad other things.

Feel happy that you helped your current alliance and start looking for another one if it really bothers you. I'm sure there are ones out there that would not make fun of you for doing such a thing.

Sadom · Jul 11, 2007, 10:16 AM // 10:16

Makes me appreciate my own guild more.

Mutants ftw

Change your guild/alliance or ask you guild to boot the guild with the rotten apples or leave the alliance with your guild.

Got any white dye left btw? :P

baz777 · Jul 11, 2007, 12:29 PM // 12:29

We do not allow selling or buying on guild/allaince channels.

Only free items to other members are allowed on these channels.

Works well for us.
