EXP/Gil please

Helping people is one of the few things left to enjoy in this game that is rapidly becoming an endless string of repetition. I often try, and find low level noobs I can help out either by doing a mission/quest w/e with them. Or just to buy them some gear for their naked slots.

They did this on another online game I used to play. They placed sweet armor drops not top of the line but very nice to encourage people to help folks complete epic quest. It worked out very well.

There will come a time I am certain that you will need help with something major, we all do. When that happens your attitude will gain you nothing/no help/zip/nada. I personally do not like players who constantly ask for/receive help and give nothing back, or who switch between a multitude of shells asking for help when they can't get it from one or another. The reward for giving back is personal satisfaction, that should be enough.

I think it would be nice if there were some exp rewards for helping people with some lower level stuff. If you don't know a lot of people, some missions can be hard to get help with. If there was something in it for higher level people, maybe it would be easier to get help. I mean some battlefields have rewards of a 1-3k exp, but 1k exp isn't a lot for a lv90 job for helping with a quest that took over an hour to complete.

It would have been better if you got an exp-manual item that granted like 5k exp that they could use on any job, for example. Then they could have used it on one of their lower leveled jobs where that amount of exp would matter more.

Now, I like helping people, especially if they're my friends, but if someone needs help with a pretty elaborate quest that requires me to run to the end of the world and back, I would be much more likely to help them if it meant i could for example dump 5k exp on one of my level 15 jobs afterwards.

I'm lazy too. I want free gill and XP. ^^

It's only free if your time is worth nothing.

Helping people takes up time that could otherwise have been spent in abyssea, getting hundreds of thousands of exp. Getting even 1% of that exp for helping someone with a one-hour quest sounds fair to me!

Call me selfish, but I dont really like helping people out, unless I get something from it

This can be a problem in LSes when people ask me to help out with missions or quests that I have already done. When I play a game I play to have fun. I dont play to help others have fun. Then it becomes a work, sort of.

So, what I would like implemented is a bonus for people whom has finished missions, quests etc and wants to help others finishing them. That "bonus" could be a great deal of EXP or Gil. Not just 500 exp, but maybe even 5 000 or 10 000 EXP depending on the difficulty of the missions/quests. Gil should also be an option, like in the Trial quests for when obtaining a Avatar.

This way, it could actually be much easyer to get people to help you with missions and also people didnt have to feel like they "work" to help other^_- They would actually benefit from it.

When Abyssea got introduced and I started EXPing there, people open chests of over 1k EXP, and the Bastion ond OPS give crazy EXP fast. I think that cos of this, it should be possible to get this kind of EXP as fast in the old areas also via missions/quest.

The first time you finish these missions/quests, you usually get a good reward. (usually>_> Nation missions, I am talking to you *cough*. Gil is nice though^_-) But when you help out, u dont really get anything.

Please SE, revamp!

Please go back to WoW or whatever selfish solo style game you came from.

Oh wait you also soloed CoP fully and zillart, dynamis, limbus, sea........................hnm's bcnm's maxing rank in all nations.. I wish i was as good as you... Ill stick to my pay-it-forward way of play and LS..
must have cost you millions of gill to finish on your own.. or paying for it, or....................


Remember finding people around like that and doing major LS /blist or hunting them and MPK all day..

Not saying you are Mirage, don't get me wrong, but wanting XP and the like in return for helping people just sounds realy greedy.

I help people without getting direct rewards for it. I would help even more people if I did get direct rewards for it.
