Default Any____?

I'm so tired of this shit.

"Any _____?"
Rez
Port
Clarity
Help PL
POTG

I get it's a community'ish but if you're gonna beg for something at least say "Paying for___". Ever kill a derv in your life and get a bronze dagger? That's like 2p. Now give it to someone for a service you need and explain you wish you had more but am broke at the moment. Congratulations, you just exchanged currency for goods and/or services...welcome to civilization.

If you don't have deep pockets, like most of us, use extra words. They are free. Butter people up with compliments, enter into a 2-3 sentence conversation before you ask someone to port you out of the middle of nowhere.

PS: Seriously, we know you have at one point bought spells or gear. A fine steel short sword sells for like 5plat. Don't be cheap, we know you're just being cheap. If you can't pay 30p for a port just run; if you can't donate 50p for a rez just go kill more stuff and think about the consequences that shifted your yellow bar to the left.

I never beg people for shit, but the economy on this server is fucked. I can understand why people are hoarding their EQ shekels.

Begging is fine. Just a bit of common courtesy is all. Like a /tell with a polite request.

If people are trying to rally for a raid target, epic kill, etc yea...porters port and rezzers rez. It's the food cycle of EQ. This is just for the general people who can't bother to start a broadcast with anything but, "Any____???".

If you do send someone a tell, start it with "POLITE REQUEST: Hello sir, I was just wondering..."

You're complimenting them while being polite (because it says polite request), so you should see better success in terms of pixels or coin

Tells work way better than /say and 1-5pp is a fine tip, if you're a nub own it and people will hook you up generally

if begging is an actual EQ skill you can use on NPCs, then why can't people beg to non-NPCs? food for thought.
