I enjoy making fun of whiners.

Also. Being likeable helps. I was a wizzie on live. I was in a small aussie guild who could not raid big zones by ourselves.
Id happily help port other guilds to hate and sky even during my xp sessions. Doing that allowed me to ask favours of larger guilds for epic fights, quests or whatevers. Many guilds knew my name and reciprocated. Rep was a big thing (in my eyes) ymmv.
