What about the beggars?

What do you guys think about begging?

Personally, I think its lame. I made it without begging anyone for anything, and I'm doing just fine.

Though I'm not completely hard on the beggars, if a person asks me with "Please" I typically give them money/mp/newbie equips [for some reason everyone asks me for mp, maybe because I'm a mage?]

If they say "Plz" on the other hand, I typically tell them something like "You should ask with "Please" next time, it goes a long way" And they usually say it then, and I say "Yes, just like that, now go ask someone else like that".

Because I only give one chance at a time, lol.

An example of my solution.

XD. And you say I'm a spellchecker.

I usually don't give people anything unless they're not just begging, but nice to me in general.

I didn't beg either. I just sold everything I looted and...used gacha. >>. Yeah, so it's kind of cheating. Whatever. PSH.

I don't get why the beg, most of the high levels had no help getting to their current money, equips,and level.
Thats why i never give them any thing, if i can get hacked 3 times and come back with more or the same amount of mesos i had, they can a least get their mesos them selves.

People will waste time begging for money and training for such a long time that it accumulates to potential time wasted that might have obtained the item/meso/level they are begging for. Hard to have patience for beggars since I'm usually busy if I'm roaming near the FM (where most beggars tend to hang).

I don't like it when people beg either. Alot of the time I usually get stuff from newbies like "plz gift me nx i need it now". Alot of them are really persistant and I usually snap after about 5 minutes of them... although I barely have anyone come up to me and ask me for equips... Rolling Eyes

I've given millions of mesos at a time for fun to random newbies before. Not beggars though. I love the reaction. <3 They don't even know what they want to do with it. If someone does ask me in a correct manner I will happily give them a quick 100k or something reasonable.

I never begged either >=]
I'm not rich, but I get by fine =]
A good way to get a beggar to leave you along is to say
"Vous parlez au francais?"
