I see your point. I haven't really thought about it, but I sure wouldn't mind people asking for help. I have helped out a few people who didn't ask for it, and made friends that way. Mainly crafting gear for people; like this one guy, I was queuing for my first Ifrit HM and this guy was standing next to me, wanting to do the same primal. I checked his gear and noticed his iLvl was too low to get entrance to the fight. Me being a crafter, I offered to make him gear with high enough iLlvl to get in, and I told him he didn't have to pay for it. (I had plenty of mats lying around, anyway). He payed me quite well anyway, and then we went ahead and did Ifrit HM together. Still on my friend's list.
