When I group with a guildie, I usually check out their gear. If I find I can make something that's better than what they have on, I'll do it. <BR/><BR/>That reminds me of the time that one of my guildies (a guy) showed up to the Stockades....in a white wedding dress! He wasn't trying to be funny or anything; it was the best stat item that he could make. After the run, I gathered up some mats and made him some proper gear. That meant more to him than a couple of gold and a sending off to the AH.<BR/><BR/>DaxRustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-68988079704198340302007-12-07T13:48:00.000-07:002007-12-07T13:48:00.000-07:00I'm a homeschooling success too!

I think thats the best and easiest solution, for the 'tithe' idea. We're still going to want to help newbies but I think we'll try to do that in a non-monetary way.Dammerunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314741182179848942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-80886580906048929012007-12-07T11:50:00.000-07:002007-12-07T11:50:00.000-07:00If you're part of a guild, you can "tithe" that 10...If you're part of a guild, you can "tithe" that 10% to your guild coffers. We have one guildie that drops a silver here and there in our guild bank; every little bit helps, especially when those tabs cost lots and lots of gold!<BR/><BR/>DaxRustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-66164147333691646762007-12-07T10:24:00.000-07:002007-12-07T10:24:00.000-07:00being generous is wonderful. my wife is one of th...being generous is wonderful. my wife is one of the most generous wow players i know. she has let people have so much gold and items, its not funny. plus, every couple of nights or so, she will take her mage and go to westfall and run all the lowbies through deadmines. she'll just put the lootz on Free For All and go to town. they get all the lootz, she gets the satisfaction of helping others. a win win. she also helps out our guildes a lot as well. <BR/><BR/>i will tell you that you need beware. once you help someone, especially young kids, they will come to you for EVERYTHING! normally when my wife logs on, she will get at least 3 or 4 tells right away asking for help. and sometimes the people you help are mean too. so thats just a warning.<BR/><BR/>PS - it's nice to see some Christian orcs :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-2791904870510654662007-12-07T08:57:00.000-07:002007-12-07T08:57:00.000-07:00The biggest way I try to help people is to offer i...The biggest way I try to help people is to offer items over Trade for free. Granted, these aren't epics or anything huge, but if a stack of cloth or some mob's eyes helps you out, it's worth skipping the amount the vendor would give me.<BR/><BR/>I've also offered items resulting from leveling professions for free (enchants, equipment, food, etc.). I just go to the nearest lowbie land, say over General what I have and where I am, and hand them out first come, first serve. People seem really thrilled and it makes me happy.<BR/><BR/>An extreme case would be if you decided to quit playing a character. I've seen people handing out anything not soulbound, liquidating the rest, and passing out small chunks of gold. I once got an azerothian diamond that way. I thought I'd won the lottery! lolValyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185869462445071042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815887911092676043.post-76851567953800365892007-12-07T08:11:00.000-07:002007-12-07T08:11:00.000-07:00Woot for Texas!!
