that doesnt make you bad if u dont give to beggars. beggars are the bad people cause they dont lift a finger to earn their own money. you deserve to keep your own hard earned cash so i doubt youll be unlucky for not just giving it away

yeah thats true still as much as i try i cant help but give money away even if i know behind that "money plz" is a hungry lazy pro

you know sometimes when i wanna give things away to noobs instead of money i give away things i find but dont need like weaker weapons or ores i never need like steel you could do that if you really feel the urge to give

ShadowWaffle said: "is that enuff good karma??" ever considered that helping someone in the game isnt actually helping them in real life? if you really believe in karma do some volunteer service in real life.

I get the karma thing totally! Ummm you could.....be kind in other ways. Like instead of giving away ur mesos and stuff you could offer to train them if you're not busy, or let someone else tell them no for you! lol If they decline another offer, then it's not your fault, is it? Um and also, having good karma doesn't necessarily mean giving away the things that are necessary for you, does it? Also by the sounds of it you've got enough good karma goin on, I respect that! =) good luck! -M

Eh well I suppose you could start a group of people that want to help other players, and then coordinate it all. It could be anything from training, to mesos, to equipment, to quests, to whatever. Just so long as you're doing something that you find enjoyable, invigorating, and feel as though you're really doing something good for other people, I'm sure it'll work itself out quite well.

you know the saying give a man a fish feed him for a day,teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime? if you seriously want to have a impact on the gameing comunity you should remember that,and just go case by case. youll help those poor lil nooblets by making them no longer be nooblets,and thus you also helped all the rest of us that had to put up with them too. if that dont get ya good karma around here nothin will.

Wel, i don't actually belive in karma but i do laugh those hypocrites when they get killed. I'll get bad karma i know >.< But anyway, maybe you could offer advice on things instead of givinf items and money. It will be totally free and it's still a good karma imducing way.

Help the n00bs by leveling them or something. Or just take pity on them and buy some of their ores or items. That way , you help them and dont waste money. But dont rip them off ^_^

well, heres a small "differenciater" to see who you should help and who you shouldnt if they ask you really nicely and politely and if they arent annoying, then good chance taht you should help them if they say "gimme money plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzpzlpzlpzlpzlpzlpzlpzlzplzplzplz" or smiliar facimile then defame em(or not give em anything whichever you prefer) if they say"hi i was wondering if someone as pro as you could help me lvl up a bit or help me out?" or something along the same line(you get the idea), then help em out
