Recently, I've been receiving tells from utter strangers, most probably clueless newcommers, demanding me for stuff I don't necessarly have or ordering me to follow them, not telling me where, nor why. I find that both abusive and... incredibly creepy.
While it's one of my pleasures to help newcommers in need, mostly by answering questions and escorting treks, I have absolutely no obligation to provide everyone on Atys with gear and neither do I have to follow anyone anywhere without knowing what I'm supposed to be doing there.
Asking for help from an older player is perfectly alright, but there is a WAY to do so to avoid getting taken for a beggar, or worse...
Like in Real Life, the words "Please" and "Thank You" are not an option. Also, if the person you're asking help from wants more information about the kind of service you need, by all means, provide it.
The Atysian community might be the most helpful, but it is a know fact that if the demanding party is acting rude, help might/will be denied.
