    It really makes me wonder how old these people are or how they are in person.

    I usually tell em no thanks and more often than not they leave me alone. If they persist then I belittle them and they quickly stop responding.

    My mental-ignore function kicks in as soon as somebody starts begging. I used to try and help them by telling them how to make their own gold, but it caused more drama than anything else. So, I just let them beg until they give up really


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    Auto-ignore.
    My favorite is when they act like it's life or death. Like if they don't get some in-game gold, they'd starve in real life.
    And they're in such dire need that they'll spend their time in town begging rather than go play for it. Really don't understand why these people even bother playing a game.

    Best/worst begging reason? "Please help me, I'm Japanese and I'm suffering from the earthquake."

    One word....... SRINGY!!!!

    The one I love best is..... "please can I ask you a question?"

    90% of the time it's a beggar, so I love saying, "Yep, sure, anything, as long as ur not gonna beg, it's seriously my pet hate... Fire away...."

    LOL funny watching people trying to beg without begging....
    Use the SEARCH function or it'll probably be here--> PL stuff or SL stuff >>> I'm 'SRINGY 2' .

    I hope I'm not being too harsh...
    One person asks me for 10k, so I purposely put in 100k.
    Then he checks box, and I leave.
    I want that to go two ways.
    One, never beg, things are usually too good to be true.
    Two, never wish for more than you ask for.

    That is all.

    I don't usually taunt the beggars. I *will* PM them good gold farming areas appropriate for their level. If their response is, "Oh! Thanks." terrific. If it's "That'll take too long" or, my favorite, "I don't have time" (but you have time to stand around in the CS begging for hours at a stretch? *puzzled*), it's "Then I guess you don't want it or need it that badly" and they end up on the ignore list. Lol, guess I belong on the sringy list, too.

    I'm OK with beggars. I don't give them what they need, but I don't ignore them either. I explain to them firmly that I won't give them anything, and I tell them where to get gold. If a situation escalates, the best thing to do is runnnn..


    EDIT: woh, I noticed you all had this green rectangle by your name, but I don't. What's that supposed to be?

    EDIT EDIT: It's gone now..

    Well they must be having some sort of success begging or there wouldn't be so many popping up all the time. If everyone would just stop giving handouts completely I bet we would see a huge decline in the amount of beggars.

    I had another one today, I really wish I coulda screenshotted it >.<. He goes "Hey Mr, could you spare gold for the weak?" "No." "Why not? 20k will do, thats nothin for you. So just give me 20k." *attempted screenshot, but by accidentally left game >.<*.

    I mean, seriously!?! Beggars think that just because were rich, that we are going to give them gold whenever they ask. I would go broke in a day if I gave every beggar what they wanted. That "aww come on! It's only 20k!!" Stacks up quite fast.

    If everyone put them on their ignore list, there'd be no one to hear them.

    Lmao... "cause I'm nice, unlike you". Sorry, but pharcyde is one of the nicest people I've met in PL. I usually tell beggars quick ways to make gold when they ask, too bad usually they just continue begging.

    One time, a month or so ago, a beggar was in the cs asking "can anyone give me a few k?", so I sent them a pm saying "kkkkkkkk". Sorry, I thought it was funny, lol.

    Here's my story, I begged a lot while I was still a bit new to PL, mainly because I didn't take the time to save up and sell, and such. You get the idea!

    But now I kind of understand why some people ignore beggars. I mean seriously! Some people like work their butt off to get gold and yet a small group people expect them to give a big chunk of gold for free?! Some players just don't make sense...BLEGH!!!
