EXP/Gil please

If you are gonna quote something, plz quote the whole sentence and dont take things out of context.

"Some fights do have rewards for doing them again. The ACP/MKD/ASA ones do, wanna say a lot of the COP/ZM ones do too. Been a while since I had to assist with those lines."

When I read this, it says:
"Some fights gives rewards. The addons do and the CoP/ZM ones do too. I havent assisted on these missions in a while"....

Either I am reading it wrong or you are expressing urself wrong. Too me you clearly say redoing CoP/ZM missions give rewards here >_>

And "Guess what", I like team games. And "Guess what" you right. This IS a MMORPG. You sure got your facts right.

"Was getting a Sahagin key and farming for hours a pain in the butt, even they I didn't need anything from there? yes. Did I get something in reward for my time--yes"

So what you are saying is that you helped him, even tho you didnt need anything there... and you got reward for helping him.. wich was gil, skill ups and a BRD 90 to help you later on... You are contridicting yourself. You did need skill ups and you did need gil. I would have helped him also for 2/3 reasons BECAUSE I needed skill ups and gil.


You talk about helping others have gotten you friends in game that has expanded to RL:

"So in the end, I guess you could say I have not only benefited in game, but have benefited in my personal life as well."

I have friends, family, a job and love my life. Dont need anything else. I dont play a game to find friends. But if that happends along the way, All right! And just so you know, I have people I talked to alot in the game on /friendlist. They know where I stand and we get along great. You can become friends in different ways ya know^_-

"And, it all started becuase a complete stranger that picked me up from a search for a WHM to do a Qufim party offered to help me get my Kazahm pass."

Well, I switched nation and started leveling BLU. I hooked up with a "?" AKA n00b and asked if he wanted to join me when we do Sandy missions and EXP with me on BLU. We missioned together and exped 2gether. We talk alot in the game and have fun. And it all started cos we both needed the same thing...

"Guess who gets to come along on my farming sessions? A player with 90 BST/PUP/BRD.. mighty convenient for me, eh?"

If it works for you: Go for it! My experience is that people ask for help and dont help back. this isnt always the case, but many times it is, so I just avoid that drama. Call it bad luck, but after 6 years of playing, I dont really wanna go look for "good luck". So, when you say:

"If you want to be selfish and do only what you need to do, and only want to help others if there is something in it for you--then by all means MERC yourself out"

Thank you! Thats exactly how I think it should be. Do what works for you and dont beat me down for doing this my way^_-


Its a shame tho that you keep straying away from the actual topic wich is "Should we get Rewards/better Rewards (gil, exp, items, etc)for helping people with missions and quests that we have already done?"
Not talking about a reward like "meeting-new-friends" or a favor you can collect later on. I am talking about actual rewards, in game that u get when you finish a mission... like a item or stuff like that <_<

"So, in summation:never underestimate the value in helping someone else just for the sake of helping them out, you never know just where it may lead."

Agreed. Thats what I do... IRL^_-
