Hacker/Trickery question

Okay, so I played with him and everything seems fine so far. It wasn't for FC because I'm in an FC, and no I wasn't naked. XD

He hasn't asked me if I'm a girl in real life, which I am. If he does I'll know why he seemed kind of attached. He could just be really nice, but considering how many jobs he has at 50 he might just be looking to help others and pass time doing something extra. First time I've ran into someone like that and I've been playing since beta.

After that it sounds like maybe he's either just looking for a new friend, or enjoys helping people in the game. I've known others like that, although they didn't exactly go about it the same way. I think the others are right that you should stay on your guard for now, tho.

Isn't it interesting that now we perceive anyone just exhibiting kindness or helpfulness as possible creep, weirdo, or scammer? I'm guilty as well its just crazy to me.

I've met plenty of kind people in game. It wasn't that. It was odd because without even knowing me or exchanging but a few words he adds me in game, then PSN, then wants to party, then waits while I was away after I mentioned "maybe later". That's the MMO friendship equivalent of 2nd base if there was a 2nd base for just friends, lol. Just took me by surprise. Everything seems fine, but on my guard. He went offline earlier as he had to drive for 3 hours.

this post reminds me of when I visit my parents in the midwest where strangers on the street and in stores will smile and say "hi" to you. although I grew up in the midwest, the east coast has re-wired my thinking in such a way that anyone who smiles or strikes up random conversation is either creepy/weird, a criminal or is after something.

Yeah I'm just saying times have really changed and people who are just nice are looked at generally as weird or as someone to be careful of. Like...I guess the concept of just like making friends anymore. People are always apprehensive instead of just welcoming or accepting without fear.

He asked for your psn? Probably examining people to see if they're on ps to make friends over most likely

If he's got so many 50s as you said, he might just be bored, having experienced most of what the game had to offer, and enjoys passing time helping people, or finding new people to enjoy the game with.

When you have completed most of a mmo, enjoying it again through a less experienced player is a common way to "rekindle the flame". I've seen this kind of thing often in various mmos, and often leads those people to enjoy helping others.

It would also explain why he seemed to be AFK/just standing there while you were away, instead of out playing the game for himself.

You don't happen to live 3 hours away from him, do you? :P
