Default No Handouts..am I weird?

I have a policy in this game and other MMOs where I refuse almost all offerings from higher level players. I feel it is a way of cheating, but NOT to say it isn't okay for others to do I don't judge, but for me I feel is tarnishes the game experience for me. That being said I do accept help in the form of people buying my wares for a good price in EC and doing trades with me or crafting me things for a decent price. I don't know, maybe it is just my OCD or something.

Lol helping new players and giving and receiving gear is part of the fun.

yeah I realize it isn't considered bad or anything and I am all for it for other players and will even help out lower level players, but as for me, I simply can't accept handouts unless it is something minor but even then I want to earn it or pay for it. Just a weird quirk of mine...

Just be sure and take your meds before you go in game, so you can actually enjoy it

leveling on this server 1-60 from scratch is as close to classic eq as one can get. I think your policy is actually pretty smart. Enjoy the ride!

If you leveled on red you'd probably find everyone you level with was next to naked.

I think gear is cheating, and using spells. I leveled 1-60 as a necro with no gear and without casting spells. Hand to hand only.

When im bored or usually blasted drunk, I like to go into Field of Bone and power level noobies from lvl 1 to 15 by pulling the zone, they seem to be thankful

My son feels the same as you. I got him started on p99 and he wanted me using a rusty sword and not take the fs weapon the guy offered. Im going to miss playing with him but rusty's sux.

Yup, weird. I've given tons and tons of starting gear away in gfay, they always accept. Whenever I drop SOW's in the newbie area, I never see anyone ever click them off. They'll even go get things like batwing or elf parts for you if you offer some more starting armor as a reward. Saw that all on early live as well. More of an EQ and UO thing I think though. Didn't see much of that at all in newer games.
