Ok Teva, Let's See How Charitable You Are. ^__^

[xavier_swift]

With Teva being the oldest server, it's safe to say that alot of players are...well...loaded. XD So, hypothetically speaking, if a lvl20 fighter was to make a thread asking nicely for monetary/item donations to help them along their way, howmany of you would actually donate them him?


Just a bit curious folks.

[IroguroMeek]

Depends on how much you need and why you need it =p

[alchemeng]

I remember a lvl 45+ fighter came up to me while I was selling elrues in lvl 20 in Elderine and asked me why I didn't vendor. I asked him what was that and he explained the process to me. I thanked him and he gave me 45 silver to start off with a stack of Xirs (or lix I can't remember) since he saw that my sword/shield was not enhanced past +3. I thanked him and I went to Roumen bought some skills I needed and some gear in Elderine had about 20~25 silver left over so I started giving away to those who needed it in Roumen. Not the spammers who said: "I need silver!" over and over again, but those with reasons. I still do that today but know I'm poor again XD. I need to start vendoring now.

That's a nice story. ^__^

[SweetLavender]

well

honestly?

umm

lol

Aega has good judgement so I'd actually meet this person before coming to the decision

if the reason is good, maybe

I'd also accept any donations if possible :D

[xavier_swift]

The main reason being to purchase weps, armor....a +9 here or there. xD

[EriAeris]

It depends on how much money I have and you want XD

[xavier_swift]

It depends on how much money I have and you want XD

doesn't it always? xD

[SweetLavender]

lol I'm quite tight on money myself. since the last maintenence, I'd rather not farm in RoA anymore. I'd give you a fair amount

[Hobo147]

as long as youve got a half decent reason for needing it, ill spare you 50s, im moderately loaded ^.~

[fre_ak]

50s its the max that i usually give to stranger O.o so yeah 50s lol

[keiiii]

I usually don't have a lot of money. (Atm I'm good but still.) But I always lend like however much I can. :3

[xavier_swift]

[HateUchiha]

One day a noob asked me how to use a mover, i told him for 400c id tell him.
After he traded the 400c i told him, he asked how do i feed it.
I told him the stones for them are normaly 1g but id give him 40 for just 5s.

I made 5s 400c that day.

[Nyoro]

............ if i was charitable... i'd help out the newbie players by explaining rules to them and help them complete difficult quests... and maybe by giving them a few silver...

Thats really not something u should be proud of.

[xavier_swift]

To all who were willing to donate something, thanks for your contributions. ^__^

[xIOhenryOIx]

i would give away 10g :D if i knew them very well if it was some random person then wot 1s? xD

[xavier_swift]

i would give away 10g :D if i knew them very well if it was some random person then wot 1s? xD

O.O. Let's become friends, huh? ^__^

[Killgormatic]

someone gave me 3g and i didn't even know them

[Celtic_Princess]

I'll randomly give out anywhere from 10s-100s, just gotta catch me in the right mood.

[Killgormatic]

i'll give ya some chocolate always gets most people in a good mood unlike my sense of humor. always in the wrong place wrong time.

[Spankle]

i didnt read all the posts so i might sound like a ***** but i dont give money to strangers who ask for it, ever. just as i would never be rude enough to ask strangers for money. its an emotional/financial dilemma that shouldnt be their problem. i really do believe asking for money/plvling is impolite at best, i wouldnt even ask good friends.

saying that iv given plenty to friends, a couple times to people i didnt really know but they were hacked. 95% of the time its to friends that dont ask. i prefer to buy equips and lend them, avoids the thought of "how much is that person worth to me" more.

edit: can i say i think "charity" should only refer to those who are out of their own capability to make their own way and need help. everyone on fiesta has the same access to resources, if you dont want to go the effort to make money why should I be responisble? only ways people get in fiesta like this are if they are scammed/hacked, then i would give money because they have been knocked back by something out of their control.

for the record i dont like this thread.

Understandable, and you have great points. It is rude to ask for money and powerleveling....and isnt the true measure of charity and generosity what you're willing to give withouthaving to be asked?

[sixthsweetsense]

Why not just mine or farm?...abyss works too..i think..x.x

just save ur own hard earned money...cause if someone does give you silvers/golds and you didn't even give anything to earn it..you might just waste it because you can get easy money..but if you earned it by farming, mining, hunting greens and loots...you earned it by yourself and you'll know how hard it is to earn it so you won't waste it...

IG money isnt the same as rl money.

If someone just randomly gave me 2g, im going to buy something worth 2g.
If i made 2g after 7 hours of selling/mining/ect, im still going to go buy that thing for 2g.

[sixthsweetsense]

not really...well this is an MMO so what you are ingame you are in real life....and i bet you'll buy it cause ur rich already "InGame".

[sixthsweetsense]

and i think this thread is just gonna be a spam thread..>.> ask ingame where other people who needs money see it....or else some will make the same thread..and if they are not given the same attention or the same or more money you had bcause of this thread...they'll just rant and rant and rant and put your name on all the threads they made...seriously

[HateUchiha]

so what you are ingame you are in real life

I see, so i am a lv 60 warrior who can carry a shiny 500lb axe able to swing it like baseball bat and use magic skills. Ya, fail logic.

[Celtic_Princess]

She means personality wise, no need to be rude Link. There is actually some logic behind her statement, people tend to behave the same way in game that they would in real life.

If they are stingy about their actual money, odds are they will be stingy about game money too. I for one don't like to spend my gold unless the gear is really, really worth it. I'm the same way in real life.

Whether you carry that shiny 500lb axe in real life or not, its the personality behind the character that shines through, and your real personality tends to carry over into the game...I believe thats what she was trying to say.

[sixthsweetsense]

yea thanks :)...thats wat i meant x.x....gosh link why r u mean to meh D:...+rep for Celtic :)

[Nyoro]

mm.. like me... i'm stingy with money in real life and rarely eat out or buy snacks to munch on............. so in game sometimes i don't feel like stoning at all or potting....
so i killl 1 or 2 monsters and shroom then kill another few and shroom... this way i won't ever have to spend money.

[HateUchiha]

If you got 4,000$ randomly by one person u would not go buy a +9 weapon.
You cant compare in-game money to rl money on this kind of topic. With 4,000$ u can do alot of more benfitual things, with 4g in-game you can only buy so much. Of course they benefit your charater(sometimes), but its not like we can buy a house, or feed a family in the game.

Personality doesnt have to be the same, iv given away golds before, but that doesnt mean im going to give away thousands of dollars.

Not being rude, making a point.

[sixthsweetsense]

but seriously...who would randomly give $4,000 irl?...i don't even think you would give a random person that much...

Actually, somewhere down the line you will be able to buy a house. You're right to a degree, people tend to be stingier with their own real life money than with in game money, but I was clarifying the point she was trying to make.

But if I have the tendency to save in real life, I will probably carry that tendency over into the game. Saving my money allows me to give away large amounts of it without worrying about my own finances, both in game and out. People irl give away thousands of dollars every day, campaign fundraisers, charities, schools...but those that save to start with are the ones that have the ability to give away large amounts of money and not think twice about it.

Its not fail logic, it just doesn't apply to the physical features of the game like character armor or weapons.

[HateUchiha]

but seriously...who would randomly give $4,000 irl?...i don't even think you would give a random person that much...

That was an example. Hypothecally speaking if u wish.

[sixthsweetsense]

ok let's make this VERY simple for link.....what i think is how you act ingame is similar to how you act in real life.....or spending money likewise.....yes it is a game but a real person is using the game character...and u made some point i wont deny it...

Sry if i double posted.

His statement was that my in-game charater was like me, which is not 100% true. Anyway on this note:
In-Game money =/= Real life money. Its fail logic, virtual armor, weapons does not = Real money value. In the since that the only thing we have to spend out money on(im talking decent things) Is armor, weapons and jewlery. We as in real life, that same value of money can be applied on a greater scale of things, both more important and more benefitual.
I guess i can be 100% correct either, because people are diffrent.

No need to make it simple, repeating yourself over and over isnt sounding any more logical.

I don't think you're seeing the point of view we're trying to present to you. Its not the value of the money...the money is just an example. Its the spending/saving habits that are similar.

Much like if I find a great shirt in a store that I want...I'll buy it no matter what the cost...same with a chest piece for my cleric. I feel like you're trying to understand our arguement from the point of view that game objects have real life value...thats not what's being construed here. Its that peoples personalities in game are similar to how they are in real life. Key word there being PERSONALITY.

Physical looks, objects, and monetary values are not what we're trying to get across.

Btw, you are still being rude. I'm not telling you that your logic is failed, nor making any deurogatory statements about how no matter how many times its stated, it won't be logical. I'm respecting you, so I would expect you to do the same for other users.

Not at all, just saying that things irl arent treated the same way as in-game, even if i could buy armor irl, my money would be spent diffrently.

Edit: I am a mean person, sorry for my personality.

[forthelulz]

Charitable!?
Haha, you are TRULY funny!
in fact, you should be the next Dane Cook, I never hand away free ANYTHING.

Thats not the point she was trying to get across though. At all. You're looking at it from a material point of view, its not what you would spend your money on, but the idea that you would spend/save like you would in real life if presented with an object you want.

Also, you aren't this rude to me in game, I know you can act better than that.

[HateUchiha]

that you would spend/save like you would in real life



Yes .

Sorry for my meaness, maybe cuz i just got outta school and im loaded with HW...idk.

[Sockrawteez]

naw link we all know your just a huge meanie nub D:

[booyah8876]

If someone comes up to me and says, "Man I need 20s for skills because I didn't have enough, I gotta go grind."

Then I'll just give them 20s.

If I'm getting "20s plz i need skillz" I won't donate. Yeah 20s is really nothing to me, but I have no idea what they're going to do with it, nor if they're really going to work in the future. I don't like support people being lazy because I worked for every copper I have today. Why should I work for everything I have, then support other people being lazy?

Sorry, but not gonna happen x.x

Sixth, I think he was making a point, if you refer to his signature you'll see what I mean. "He that always gives way to other will end up having no principles of his own"

Personally, it would depend on the situation, honestly I would prefer to take a low level out and show them good hunting maps so they could learn to make money on their own. And I quite agree with many of the points regarding how you wouldn't give them anything unless they'd been hacked/scammed. Personally I was hacked a while back and refused to take any money that was offered to me, I hadn't asked them anything, I think I'd been asking if they'd seen a certain item floating round and it was at the point where the money I was being offered was over double what I had lost. When a friend will do anything they can to help another out, that's true charity.
