Wizards! Do you regret it?

[Zuranthium]

When you go into a store you have to pay for things. You don't get to freaking walk up to the clerk and say "give me this and this and that" and have it handed to you.

I'm completely in favor of a friendly, helpful atmosphere. Just not in the way you perceive it. Buffs are a bad game mechanic and when used improperly I see it the same as using a cheat code.

If I'm not busy then I will hand out buffs to people when I see fit (if you're a class I feel sorry for then that will likely weigh into the decision). Sometimes even if I am busy, depending on the scenario. I especially like to help low level people who are new to the game, not just in terms of buffs but also cash and/or helping you break camps that you need help with. If you roleplay then that makes me all the more likely to help you, as it shows you are actually engaging in part of what the game is supposed to be.

I'm almost surely not going to give you shit if you walk up to me in overly twinked-out gear, though. You've already used a cheat code by doing so and are in fact HURTING the "friendly, helpful" atmosphere of the game by playing as a twink rather than actually interacting with other people of your level and playing the content as it was designed for people at those levels. I'm certainly not going to give out many free buffs when we are in a 50+ dungeon either. You need to be especially nice/interesting (roleplaying helps there) if you want a free hand out from me, as that shows as an actual interaction and respect for CLASSIC EVERQUEST.
