I agree.
I help newbies with a little, but as some know am very much against when they can buy large homes and expensive things. This is one of the major contributors, IMO to the inflation we have. |

My position remains the same. A little advice, a nudge in the right direction, and a bit of spending money (as was given to me). _________________ Victim: Well, what is the creed?

Just to nitpick.
Handing out money to newbies has nothing to do with inflation; the obscene payouts and free money do. Then people have a zillion credits on hand that they've got nothing better to do with, and hand off to newbies. Or to their lowbie mules, which is probably the more likely scenario.
I chose "Don't care". If you're not going to help, don't. If you are, do it. And if you're going to half-ass it, go for it. _________________ An eye for an eye; but my eye's worth more.

I agree that exploring can be fun, as well as fatal when you enter an area only to learn the critters there are evil sons of- anyway, when I first came to Haelrahv, I received help, and even back in DR, I was of the camp that says that the best thing you can do when you are helped is to 'pay it forward' and do the same for someone else. I don't mean walking them through until they are 100+ and have more money than they can ever hope to spend. But a nice backpack, some cash, and a little guidance go a long way. And I tend to help those who are still new but have gotten their feet planted assistance as desired, as sort of a 'thanks for sticking around'. I'm okay with saving the backpacks and such things until they have shown they will stay, but a few thousand is a small price to encourage newbies to give us and Haelrahv a chance. _________________ Zanquin Firestarter, Performer of many talents, alchemy addict, stratohunter addict and all-around crazy harlot
