should i spare my 100 plat to a stranger?

[Vallon_Zek]

[Phidius]

No, that will only encourage them to pester you some more since they would then know that you're an easy mark.

[Dawnsfire]

Mail it to them a copper at a time. If that doesn't annoy them into leaving you alone I don't know what will...

[Unreliable]

i just wanted 100 pp to go buy all my epic gear and weapons

[mannvar]

Maybe he was testing you.. if you had been a kind soul and given him 100 plat, he would have rewarded you with humongous piles of treasure. Maybe.

was it that you sent me the tell? jk

Actually I had some guy pm me the same thing today, but I told him that I had no money because a rogue stole all my plat

[soloman]

I have been getting tons of those tells lately and also blind invites when I am on my higher toons from lowbie, unguilded strangers. Maybe they are trying to encourage Turbine to add a new class to the game but IDK

[JustWinBaby]

Why not? It's only 100 plat.

Give it to him and he leaves you alone and is grateful? Possibly even gives you something in return.

Or give it to him and he starts being a jerk? Quelch.

It's only 100 plat....

[Cam_Neely]

Hey I'm not that strange :P

Nigerian treasure, from that deceased uncle you never knew about.

The OP's name is one of the gods of war from EQ - a name used for one of the greatest PVP servers of all time. Would it be considered roleplaying to ask said noobie to come to the tavern to receive their 100 plat?

I had your 100 plat, but I gave it to the orcs who asked for it earlier. They are in Cerulean Hills. I gave each orc .5 plat, so you will only need to ask 200 of them nicely each for their share.

[Ministry]

Agree with the give 100 plat.

If the tells come more often afterwards, just squelch.

But, what's a one time - 100 plat?

It's not like they will amasse millions this way, and you never know what may come back to you.

I gave a large devil scale to someone that I barely knew one time in the shroud so they could craft, and they became a very good friend afterwards, and paid me back 10X in other kinds of loot and friendship.

[DoctorWhofan]

I don't give to the beggers. I give to people trying to improve but come up short. Or totally random people. Or clerics. I have a soft spot for clerics.

[Alter]

People you don't see the problem you are supporting.

I remember the last time I gave someone 100pp. Took weeks to heal. Not one Cleric/FVS/Pal/Ranger could hellp me out. Even the silver flame laughed and said "thats what you get sinner". NEVER AGAIN!

For Pete's sake, if you're going to feed them, at least potty train them and teach them some manners.

Right - Below is what you are supporting, in many cases.

On Sarlona the Bank of China operates in full force, right out in the open. Plat farmers galore. They send you scripted tells with the name Bank of China right in them. They also send scripted tells asking for plat, with the same name in it. Squelch does nothing as they create a new FTP toons when needed. Curse and swear at them, and they will report you and you will be disciplined for it. Report them = no real result. The plat farmer traffic doesnt go down.

I doubt the occasional fr00b who needs in game money compares to this. Most players who have been subject to this for a while now just internally produce a chemical that causes them to ignore scripted tells.

[Mjoll]

Tell them you keep your money at Bank of Nikolai, front left pocket and they don't do withdrawals.

[GlorkTheInvader]

Can I have 100pp, please?

[cdemeritt]

I had a similar thing happen a while back... only I was in the market bank... Someone I diddn't know walks up to me, opens a trade window, and says "I'm new, gimmie"


I lol'd, closed the window and said get lost...

[phalaeo]

Nobody has yet mentioned that you are being asked for plat IN THE INSPIRED QUARTER.
Perhaps the dude was writing you the message from the harbour and pressed send as you zoned in, but c'mon. If this dude was standing in the IQ, tell him to go farm some Jeet's Mind and leave you the **** alone.
