What in the world is with the buff begging culture here?

It's low and disrespectful. I don't get it.

Not as many lowbies leveling, not as many people to group with. Depending on the class, soloing is rough without buffs.

What's that untwinked level 9 paladin with no group to do?

As a noob lowbie, I let many different druids run by without begging for a sow, even tho getting one would be convenient. I only ask if I have to do a long run through multiple zones, and mention that in the request. So if someone is asking, keep in mind that they may not be pestering everyone; you might be the first druid out of 10 druids they asked

I also give breeze to anyone and everyone I pass who looks like they are killing mobs in the area. I’ve even given it to iksar monks mistaking them for shaman, and to other enchanters because they didn’t have a rod so I mistook them for a diff cloth caster. If everyone was so liberal with buffs, there would be no more begging

Edit: I’ve only ever been tipped once. I don’t expect it at all, and when someone gave me 5pp for it all I thought was “wow this guy must be rich”

I get it, EQ is hard. But that's part of the experience. You learn more from failure. Rough it up a bit instead of begging for buffs 24/7 IMO.

Just ignore them. Plenty of people enjoy buffing obvious lower level new players to help them make it through those starter levels.
