Help is giving before taking.

Taking before giving is taxation.

If you think the community is selfish if they don't give you money then you're wrong. In my experience, the amount of people giving away free items and money to the poor is incredible, but if you think that people will give you enough free money to reach 1,000,000g, when you're on 28k already, for no reason at all, then I think you're slightly misguided.

I will play no part in giving away my hard earned money to some random rich fellow. And saying you're trying to run a research experiment isn't really going to help you.

It might just turn out to be an elaborate scam. Give me your money so I can reach 1million.... *runs*

There's a difference between being selfish and being reasonably cautious. I don't just give my credit card number to "charities" that call me on the phone and ask for it either. That doesn't make me selfish.

That said, I happily helped two teams through old quests I already finished last night, gave away a perfect bone staff, and gave a free ID kit to some lvl4 dude in Ascalon because I had bought two by mistake.

Sorry for being so selfish

and how do you know that he isn't selfish, seems to me like the op is just too lazy to go out and earn his own money, and wants people to fund for his armor or whatever..and to the op yeah SURE you'll give it back..

This isn't the way to test if there are selfish people in the community, as there are selfish people in ANY community. Go do some quests or missions, and talk about if the people you're with are selfish or unselfish.
It sounds too much like you want people to "pay" you for something that everyone already knows--
the world is full of all kinds....

i have to say but this thread shows how selfish the community is in my view

I'd say it shows the community to be savvy to obvious scams form someone trying to make a million without earning it. Ask the guy from last night that I gave an Icy Short Bow of Warding (12>50, +5 armor) how selfish the community is.

Generosity != Falling for scams.

Have to agree....
Come do some missions, and if we click (which happens with good people in PUGs), we might exchange items (or, at least, put each other on "friend's list").
But to write for "donations", sad to say, is no better than standing in a town, crying about, "Does any nice person have 500g to spare?"

Sorry, I only help friends in Guild Wars. Too many strangers screw you over.

Best of luck if your legit.

If your a dirty begger, then I suggest farming and running like the rest of us.

You want some of my gold? Well, that's the closest you will ever get. Work for it like everybody else.

Crotalus · Apr 06, 2006, 07:03 PM // 19:03

This bet was a direct result from an off-topic thread over at TGH. Too bad you guys think it is a scam.

In an attic somewhere, there's a screenshot of your Character getting poorer.
