So I'm in Victory Lap on my toon decked out with a full Fury set, when a lv 50 joins in, requests me to add as a friend (didn't add because I don't know that person), and messages me asking if he/she could borrow my set... I said, "lol seriously?". He/she responded "yes". I said "no" and he/she left.

I mean, what's up with that? It's not begging (per se), nor is it a scam... so how would you define that?
