i would have done the same. a mere 30k is nothing compared to friends or honour.

and if you think 30k is nothing to me just because im rich...im not

i only read your post and yes.. Nice players are hard to find now, everyone's trying to scam you and what not...... as a game grows it will and did lure in some unwelcomed players into Gw. but it is nice to still see some humanity left in this game

To OP, great story. Good to hear one like this after reading all the other bad stories posted here.

Thank you for the definition. Put those bags of wind in their place. They probably would have split and run. To the OP, good story.
I too have given one away. I got two on my sixteenth run, solo. And gave one to my guildy simply because I said I would. Heres the kicker, it's not a real item folks, and though you may have spent a ton of time trying to get one, no one forced you to, nor does it give you the "right" to act like an ass.

wow I don't really care once you add being a good person with getting something in the end I get too many gay kid show flashbacks

Bethany: I agree that your decision was an honorable choice.

I solo that cave ALL the time, though it got really tedious, so I started going with guildies. I brought 2 other guildies along, and 4 IDS dropped over a few trips. 2 went to one guildy, and 2 to another. One of them gave me her 2nd IDS (I hadn't gotten any yet at that point), and I was thankful. The next day, 2 drop for me, so I return that guildy's gift

Next run, 2 more drop for me AFTER I died. The same guildy grabbed both IDS and gave them to me without hesitation after we returned to Granite. I gladly gave one back to her. We're still splitting the drops... it's only fair

So I go back to droknar's forge, and someone named Angel of Virg** (name hidden to protect the guilty) is spamming "WTB major vigor rune." I have 2 un-ID'd major vigors, so I anwer their reply politely. "stfu noob" was the response I got. How's that for gratitude? This is one example of the dishonorable trash I never want to know IRL.

it's nice to know that there are still players like that.

i didnt know "good" or "nice" ppl existed.

Yogi and Vaga are great examples of what's so f-ed about the GW community.

Pyrea · Dec 29, 2005, 01:56 AM // 01:56

Heya Bethany

Just wanted to say firstly, congrats on getting the IDS, I know that you have been after one for most of this Xmas season. (what a nice gesture)

And secondly, to say that yes, what you did was a very honourable act, and should be applauded.

Personally I have met many honourable people all over the land of Tyria who place friendship, courtesy and valour above all else that is material.

Keep well friend.

I'm the first one not to make a big deal about items. I care more about the integrity and character of the perosn playing, not the character itself.

If you don't know something, ask about it. People might call you noob, but you learn something and will remember.

If you get scammed, it is a lesson to be more careful.

If you get a crappy team, it means to spend more time making teams or to just get over it. If you spend the next hour complaining, it is not going to do you nay good.

Kula · Dec 29, 2005, 03:46 AM // 03:46

Nice story, Bethany... I would have done the same thing. I imagine you're not a spoiled teen/kid who has no value for honesty and fairness, or with a poor sense of morality. No, you're quite the opposite. Bravo to you.

Although I admit being bad can be fun at times too, but only if they were bad to you first. Hehe...

The Primeval King · Dec 29, 2005, 03:52 AM // 03:52

All this fuss about an IDS..
You know what would be better than an Icy Dragon Sword?

An Icy Dragon with a Sword

I know that I would do 28 runs to try to get that pet, and if the pet fell from the magical dragon tree for someone else and my whole team was killed my wanna-be fairy's that throw ice at you and make you walk slower, I would pick it up for them. Then I would give it to them, and I would have honor.

There's a on going thread around here "The Biggest Jerk" encountered on GW. Maybe it's time to start up a new thread of the best things peeps have done on GW.

I've been playing GW for a bit over 2 months now, and I still consider myself a n00b. If I didn't have peeps helping me over the time then I'd still be stuck in ascalon =p (well maybe not that bad) I've already been scammed and abused, and quite sick of it. But there are quite a number of decent people out there playing.

btw, to all the jerks in GW who feel to the need to swear in every single sentance, it gets you no where and doesn't improve your conversational skills. if need be, learn to use a dictionary!

hjzhawii · Dec 29, 2005, 05:31 AM // 05:31

You(OP) did what you are suppose to do, and the monk did what he had to do.

Suprising how few ppl will do that these days.
