Oh, I see. Well, I personally try to help out new players when I can, but to each his own. But also, they have to ask for help - I can't just read their minds and know if they want help or not nor go around trying to babysit and pamper every lowbie I come across who could just be an alt.

Personally I refuse to beg, ever. People used to beg all the time in vanilla EQ and it bugged the heck out of a lot of people

Regardless, on TLP live servers people used to do giveaways of old gear frequently whether someone asked or not. Like I said, a different culture. However, one caveat is that consider the setup of TLP - those servers are always progressing meaning that handmedown gear has essentially an expiration date on its value. A black enameled mace here and a black enameled mace on TLP do not have the same value especially when we consider what era the TLP might be in. So that is a factor as well. Just wanted to mention the flip side of the coin to my own observation. It’s not all just greed, some items given away on TLP had next to zero current value despite being good items for lowbies. Items on P99 hold their value forever
