I even make an attempt to present myself as a jerk, but if someone sends me a /tell asking for help to drag a corpse from a zone or two away or asks me to do anything I can actually do, I almost always help them. In the reverse, everyone I have encountered with a solitary exception has been totally helpful and cooperative.
I'll give you an example. A few nights ago I left an oasis group to go to unrest or something because I was sick of oasis. on the way north, I got rooted by a ghoul that was yellow to me. Now as an unbuffed, untwinked tank I have basically no chance against a yellow con mob. I sent one of the members of my old group a /tell asking them to come north and help me. when I was at about 20% the wizard and cleric came from their group, nuked the ghoul down and healed me up. I told them I owed them both a big favor and I intend to honor my promise when they ask. Kindness is infectious; it's hard to be a dick when you get confronted with kindness everywhere you go.
