I have actually revised my stance on buffs. Before when I was level 16-20 I posted in this thread saying I give everyone and anyone around me breeze, and that was true. Now that I’m in my 30’s, there is a CONSTANT battle for spawns in every zone I try to exp in. There’s just too many god damn people on Green and not enough mobs to go around in exp areas that are worth a shit. If it’s not some level 45+ running through killing everything for plat then it’s a 15 different necros (who don’t need my buff anyway) and druids all fighting over the few roaming spawns around

So no, I have zero incentive to toss a Druid who is competing with me (and doesn’t want to group) clarity so that he can become more efficient at directly lowering my ability to exp. I’ll toss someone a clarity if I’m passing them to a new area, or if I’m logging off. If you’re competing with me over a limited number of spawns you get nothing. And I don’t expect or want a sow from you either

And I don’t even TRY to play anywhere close to prime time. I’ll log on, see that my exp spot is crowded, go to the gym for a few hours, come back on at 1am, and see the same 3 necros and 3 druids farming it up that have been there the past 5 hours. So sick of the freaking crowds on Green...

I actually strongly consider re-rolling Blue every day, no lie. Does Teal even still exist? When I log into titanium client all I see is Blue, Green, Red, and a buncha smaller non-p99 emu servers

I have no issues with people asking for buffs, because if they ask and I have the mana then sure why not. It's a win/win, they are happy cause they got buffs and I'm happy cause I helped someone. If you're in the tunnel buffin nubs is just something to do to pass the time between hitting shift+up arrow/enter.

If you don't have mana to spare tell em you are lom and if they get indignant then /note their name and let your friends know to never buff the ungrateful pricks.

Another option if I like to use when I don't want to blow through a ton of mana is just toss em a tier down of buffs regen/skin like steel/str of stone/sow. It still helps em out considerably, but doesn't eat all of my mana and if I'm not portin' I'm /anon so it's not like they'll know enough to bitch I didn't give 'em top tier stuff anyway.

Somewhat related I almost never give nubs damage shield because it gets them killed more often than it helps cause they don't realize how short the duration is. They think they are suddenly gods and can fight 3 red cons at once forever, then that buff fades a few minutes in and they are asking me for a sow for CR.

It's low and disrespectful. I don't get it.
Wow, heard of paying it forward? It's a perspective, maybe you might appreciate it?

I cast breeze on everyone that would benefit from it. Unless I'm in the actual tunnel, in which case I only cast on the people that wave or stand in front of me. I haste melee chars when I run past them and they're fighting something.

If an opportunity arise in which something within my power could be alleviating for someone else, WHY would I not rise to meet that opportunity? Isn't that WHY I'm even presented with the opportunity in the first place?
Give me one coherent reason.

I might not give my only pair of shoes to the homeless man who clearly isn't wearing much. But this game isn't anywhere NEAR as hard as the game called "RL" is, and the questing in RL is substantially harder to figure out. But I do, even then, pay my intentions forward.
So, in this game, I see little to no purpose spreading discord, and only purpose doing the opposite.
