I think it's one singular spammer who's going around leeching, using that exact phrase.
There are always players asking for cost free resources in zone chat, it's not new, but since some days, I see quite regularly players asking "can anyone send anything useful for low levels, ty".
Just before, again in two different zones... Seems to be the new way to go. Have you seen that too?

With the drop in population we should be doing anything we can to make the new players feel welcome.

Even the ones who jump from zone to zone daily asking something like, “Please, can a kind soul with a warm heart please send me a stack of soul gems?” This is of course not new.
Someone doing the first character could really use a lot of help like that. And it costs nothing to us. All the early level mats, recipes, soul gems, repair kits, etc.

Because a lot of players have an excess and will send them a full stack of 200. Each stacks sells for 6000 gold to a merchant. It's possible to make hundreds of thousands of gold a day doing that. Selling 166.6 stacks will bring in 1,000,000 gold.
But Sea's point is new players wouldn't need to beg for Soul Gems because of how easy they are to get, and it's not newer people doing the begging, it's people looking to scam dozens of altruistic people about of a stack or two per and then turning around to sell them because "they're so easy to get most people won't think twice about sparing some".SilverBride wrote: »
