Don't say you'll help if you don't want to help

[jakerees]

I've been so glad to have help from other P99 players, often times it isn't even asked for. A random buff here or there. Maybe even an item here or there. It's also nice to know that I can ask for help in the form of a buff/sow, directions, etc and more often than not get a response. I also understand no one is obliged to help anyone else, it is what it is.

What is really irritating is when you ask for help, say for a bind in a zone on Kunark when you came all the way from the Freeport area, only to get the one person in the zone that can help you to say, "sure, otw". Then when they come to you, they demand you either win your bind through a dice game or by dueling them. (Please, not about to be root/nuked by a 17 wizard when I'm level 9, and I don't want to waste my time randoming until you feel I should be rewarded with a bind). You don't want to just help someone who is asking? Fine. Don't be a douchebag, and then when the person refuses to jump through your hoops, go in /ooc warning people not to try and bind me or else I will try to duel them and kill them.

TL/DR version: Stop being an asshat Jeppenstrubber

Sounds like our society, rotten. Don't worry, the light is fighting back from the dark side. the dark are getting out numbered now in game and in real life. May the force be with you young jedi. Happy New year

stop asking for handouts

Jeppenstrubber worships Cazic Thule, OP. If you take the time to read his travel journal, you will see that he really is much more akin to a follower of Bristlebane, hence his dice challenge. Mischief is something the little folk are never quite able to forsake no matter how fervent their ambitions. Nevertheless, his lord is the lord of fear and he is an evil little bastard. It is most bigoted of you to slander his very nature though, something beyond his control. Very unclassy.

He's an asshat with a lame excuse. Got it.

Didn't ask for a handout, nor would I expect a handout if I did. Do I look like a former BDA member looking for raid mobs?

I openly asked for a favor, and expected one of two things. Either no one would have been willing/able to help me out (that's fine, I'll wait), or a normal, well-adjusted person might offer to help and throw a bind on me real quick. I didn't expect option 3: asshatery in the form of a gnome.

Basically all well adjusted adults left p99 a long time ago refer to the thread about Vulak for reference.
