and location.
i assume he ment when someone sends him a tell like: can you please rez/port/buff me?
with no additional info, and they are /anon

which then lead to questions like - where are you, your corpse, your group, etc, while doing /who would answer majority questions.

on other hand, i do believe that its peoples business if they /anon or whatever.
Of course if you are /anon, and asking someone for something, please be wise to include additional info they may need to know to reply to your request properly

Unless someone's right in front of you, you'd still need to ask where they are. Not being anon does let you filter out the people who want a rez 15 zones away for 20p quicker though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

It can be about more than that though. It's the whole idea that someone is more than willing to search out random people who let their level and class and location be known and request help, while they themselves remain hidden to prevent other people from doing the same. It can be looked at as a double standard of sorts. "I have no problem with asking random people for help, but I make sure no one can do the same of me."

If that is how that person perceives it, then the other person will just have to live with that consequence. Although, they will probably be thinking that about half the server, and probably a hypocrite themselves if they ever used /role or /anon. It's just as selfish to tell someone they shouldn't use /anon or /role because that's the way they want it. You are not entitled to anything. It's also very naive to think that people don't take this game seriously.

You can say my attitude is what's wrong with this server blah blah blah, but I'm just being realistic. And anyone who knows me in game knows I would and do bend over backwards for most.

This has probably been said. But when you do a /who all Dalnir and nothing comes up. You head over cause the NoS camp is up. You show up and there are three people in line all anon. Please just take it off for that camp! You may get bugged by a few people, but you have nothing better to do other than respond to them anyways.

You have bard speed. I don't feel bad for you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. These Jboots are getting worn. It might be time to purchase some sow pots.

I just want /who all count zone to work correctly.

Leveled a druid to 50 pre Kunark here, and currently play a 55 shaman. Never ever use /anon or /role. I feel perfectly comfortable being less eager to help people who ask me for help if they're /anon or /role without feeling hypocritical about it.

Just so we're clear, I've never not helped someone specifcally for being /anon or /role, but there have been times where I don't feel like going out of my way but am considering it, and then do /who all on the person asking for help and realize I can't see their level or class or location and just decide "Fuck it, I'm gonna pretend I'm AFK"

You don't have to clear anything up with me. I was agreeing with you. It's your right to not want to help someone anon or role for whatever reason you want, just like it's their right to use the function in the game for whatever reason they feel like.

Thread is redundant now. It needs to go away. So yea, last post.
