To aid or not to aid

[Amiaze]

It's a game, and a community. I try to help people whenever I can, even if it doesn't benefit me. I've seen the "you scratch my back and I scratch yours" mentality in groups of people on other servers, and it never ends well. When that mentality is all you operate off of, I think it zaps the fun from the game.

Besides, I have loads of fun getting to know new players and talking to them. Endgame content is fun as well, but it's just as much fun to run through content with people that are brand new and don't know the mechanics. In my experience, they're typically nicer and seem to notice seniority, so they won't argue when you give them advice.

Typically.

I generally prefer the "I help you, you help someone else, hopefully, with luck and the good faith and feelings generated by our actions, it'll get back to me. If not, Meh."

Also, trying to help someone and running into "This enemy is part of another players duty."
