    I dread logging in everyday to have people whisper me to ask "Will you come and heal us please" :lol: well, there go my plans for the evening :blush:

    Even worse than this is "will you come and heal us AND tank" to which I reply, "but I am not a tank" but still end up doing it anyway 50% of the time... I need to learn to say no lol

    One of the reasons I never play a support character - he/she will get all the blame, if something goes wrong, and never any praise for his/her well done job.

    Here an idea for how to say no in form of a - well, basically kind of lie, but better than to say no:

    "Sorry guys, I am waiting for the pizza guy" - without a time, you can as well wait for the guy, which will deliver the pizza in a week after you will have ordered it - it is kind of a lie and as well not.

    I am quite lucky in this respect, my online friends are lovely people, and so if it does ever go wrong, we do sometimes blame one another as a joke and laugh about it, but its all in fun though. I am very lucky to have met such great people in the game :blush:

    And thanks for the suggestion haha :lol: I might have to use it :wink:

    Him: Wow, your character looks cool. Is that a costume?

    Me: Nah, it's a mix of a lot of rare styles.

    Him: Do you think you can make that for me too?

    Me: Wait. What? You want to dress like me?

    Him: Yeah, if that's okay.

    Me: Don't you want to be unique?

    Him: No, I don't really care about that stuff. Hey what colors are you wearing?

    Me: They're all rare as well.

    Him: Like what?

    Me: Transliminal Violet ...

    Him: How do I get that?

    Me: [Sigh] Read the description on the dye.

    Him: Oh okay, no problem. So ... can you make that armor for me?

    Me: For free?

    Him: Let's see ... Huh, I can give you 7,000 gold.

    Me: Dude, for real, stop. Just stop. Did you miss the part where I said "rare styles"?

    Him: Oh okay, I'm sorry ... I'm just desperate. I barely have any money, and I keep dying because my damage sucks, so I have to keep repairing. I'm only 174.

    Me: I can back you up on your missions for a bit if you want.

    Him: Oh okay. Hey wanna go fishing? We can get some Perfect Roe, and sell it for like 15k.

    Me: Dude, you just told me you're weak and desperate at level 174, and now you want to go fishing? Seriously, no offense, but you're starting to annoy me. I have to go. I'll see you around.

    That happens to me quite often as well. But usually, I get asked by my friends who are good, or by lowbies (who I don't remember how I met) who want me to run a random dungeon. So in my case, it's a win-win.

    Plus I enjoy healing :smiley:

    While at a crafting station:

    "I see you are a crafter. Would you make me (insert item here). You have the mats for this, right?"

    Almost mine exactly;

    "Hey I read your guild note are you really a nine trait crafter?"

    "Yes"

    "Hey I mainly PVP and don't research and I know I've never run any continent with you but I need "X" in "Y" style and "Z" trait.

    Ok, send me he mats and a request via email so I can get your order right"

    "Yeah about the mats, I may be a little short"

    "How short"

    "I don't know I have like 60 rubedo leather"

    "Ok cool let me know when you have the mats"

    I have some variation of that conversation twice a week.

    I got invited to a female-only guild because of my cute little character. Right after I joined, I was asked for my IRL gender. I told the truth, as I am male, and got moved to another guild ;_;

    Hm, I don't know what to say to this - because the invitation reason "because of my cute little character" lets me doubt that there are a lot of females in that guild. It feels to me more like a guild of g.i.r.l. - guys in real life. I would certainly not want to be in a guild, where the reason to ask me to join would be a cute appearance. And I doubt that other women would want to join by that reason.

    What is so hard for me to understand is, why they keep insisting when I already told them, that I am an archer. why is it of interest to them, to try to convince me - it is not as if I would play with them, I am fine on my own. So why are they doing that?

    Yes, a really good game does not have a best class nor a best weapon nor the best armor in an absolute sense - but just one for a certain playstyle or purpose. In EVE the question is "what is the best ship" and the Devs there found the correct answer - "friendship". :smiley:

    Reminds me of the time I got hit on by a female player while I was on my male Nord. I was instantly spammed with 'raunchy' messages from her until I let her know I was a female in RL. Never heard a word from her anymore after that. :D

    These are all funny as hell.

    I see a recurring theme though: non-crafters are expecting crafters to use their own mats, time, and expertise to make them gear without even a tip. This needs to seriously change.

    That's the key. Crafters need to learn to say no, and to set up the rules and prices before even making a move. It's the only way non-crafters will get it one day.

    And don't forget : the ONLY answer to "[whoever] would craft it for free / cheaper" is "Then go ask [whoever]".

    I found it rather funny to experience, how "magnetic" my male Imperial is, when he is wearing the pirate matey outfit - female character approach him, stare at him - then they see, that I have a female account name - and sometimes they say "nevermind" or just leave again. I never thought before, that a male character would be pulling that much attention at all.

    That's because they are RL people, and RL people are divided into two categories : the talkers and the listeners. The listeners usually can talk, too, but the talkers don't give them time or space to do so. Advice givers (especially non-asked-for advice-givers) belong to the "talkers" category and just don't listen to whatever you're trying to say.

    Does not really make sense to me - I am a talker too, but I listen to what people have to say in order to have a conversation, otherwise I could talk to a wall as well.

    But when I think about it, I might be guilty of that myself when it comes to ESO+ membership and someone says, he does not want to pay for it. I think then, he might not have thought it over well enough and rejects it by no good reason - hm, yes, I am guilty of that myself.
