When I see someone, I don't assume they have a DS or that they're mean spirited or so on. I just see someone that needs help. A true samaritan doesn't discriminate like you say you did.

If you help them, they might feel guilty and they may someday change how they do things.

You won't make them a good person by not being a good example.

Look at it this way. If they don't help anyone, they will live with shame. That's karma. Karma's a bitch.

I see you missed the entire point of my post. My point was that the way you ask for help, and they way you act when you do/don't receive help makes alot of difference in how people will act towards you.

That being said, I never claimed to be a samaritan. I was playng a Cleric not a Saint. Clerics need exp too. I would have been happy to group with him, heal him all day long, sharing the risk and the reward. He chose not to group, he chose to attempt to abuse any generosity I may have had. If I had allowed him, he would have drained me of mana, limiting my ability to get exp for myself. I did the only thing I could do for myself in this situation and walked away. I play a game for my own enjoyment, not to make sure every swinging dick that walks by me has a good time.

Hell, had he simply gotten into trouble with social mobs I may have been inclined to toss him a heal. But crocs are not social, he had to have deliberatly aggroed all those crocs and figured he would abuse the fact a cleric happened to be sitting nearby. His choice. And I don't feel bad about my choice.
