    I wish i had experiances like this. Most people that ask questions in glenumbra zone chat i help and they actually understand what im saying.
    I guess daggerfall people are smarter than those yellow glorified chickens or the red drunkards and lizards.

    "Can you be my wife?" - get that at least once a week.

    Must look nice

    or be blonde - I got girl friend requests on my blonde characters, but on none of the others. And my two dark skinned ones are basically invisible, no one takes notice of those.

    My redguard dk gets more attention than any of my other characters... this may be because she is wearing the graht climer outfit which basically makes her look naked!

    I can't really say I get "annoyed" per say, since I am a glutton for punishment. I am EP/PC. I like to hang out in Davon's Watch while I do guild stuff, pst with folks, etc. Anyone who has hung out there knows what the chat is like...lmao!
    But, my all time favorite conversation, and it happens regularly, is:
    Them: How do I sell in the Auction House?
    Me: There is no Auction House. You have to join a guild with a guild store to sell.
    Them: No, not guilds, the Auction House. How do I sell there?
    Me: There is no auction house!
    Them: But I'm standing in front of it!

    Rest of the story..... The Guild that has the Trader in Davon's is called The Auction House....roflmao!
    Love how that messes with new players and trying to explain the "NO Auction House" aspect when they see that..:)

    Well the Dark Shaman costume is coming soon, you can show off tats with that, and also the Doeskin-and-Chamois Woods Wear and Graht-Climber’s Active Wear shows off your back.

    k8DQE_f-maxage-0_s-200x150.gif?c=popkey-web&p=starbucks&i=frappuccino-brands&l=search&f=.gif

    Bonus points if they ask me this question as a male with a female character - yes, that has happened!

    Hilariously, I used to have a guild member that seriously thought I was a girl, because they'd only seen me logged in on female characters.

    i see it like that, if a man wants to play a female character and behaves like one, I will treat that character as if it would be played by a female. If this is their wish and they role play it well enough, why not?- it is a role play game, so be it.

    Mine are wearing that too - but they are basically ignored.

    Edit. I do not feel naked at all in this outfit. It is not even about a tattoo - one of them has one, the other has none.

    This is her - http://imgur.com/QnJsbel

    Maybe it is because of their names - one has a Xhosa name, the other a Zulu name.

    To the crafters, what do you think is a fair price for your services? If all mats are provided and for friends/guildies?
    When I ask how much I should give them they usually say they don't want anything but if like to give them some for the trouble :)

    1. "I play as I want" mentality alongside with complains that no one wants to group with them, then starts asking about shiny new hard dungeons. -fml.. I only have 3k soul gems in my bank x_x
    2. lowbie asks 2342342 questions about build, forgets all answers and repeats the questions 10 minutes later... follows the advice half hearted, fails and complains, asks further 3423414123 questions.
    3. lowbie wants to play with the big girls and boys - gets carried through a few dungeons, lowbie thinks he's a team player and thinks group of 3 veterans have interest in doing solo questing with him in level 20 area. Gets told to level up and focus on questing - lowbie goes to pvp and don't quest for 3 weeks, returns to pve and asks 2342432 questions about how to quest and where quests are.
    4. lowbie asking for new gear - gets send BiS crafted gear for lvl'ing, trades 1 blue set glove for ornate purple random.
    5. guildie begging for new gear - I go make it and mail it. Goes offline 3 months, mail gets returned to me after 30 days. Returns with new patch, begs for gear again.

    MY LIST IS MUCH LONGER x_x I need more coffee though.. bye!

    Give them a few flowers or something they will appreciate. I once gave 200 manganese to a crafter xD
    I usually don't accept anything for crafting, and I often get sent flowers or potions. The low levels are funny, they give me stuff like 1-2 blue motifs lol I don't even know what to do with those... I try to decline, but they don't accept.

    Well thanks to people like you, my friend is inspired to level up and become a raider, because he wants the skin. He's normally a pvp player, and is acts allergic toward pve stuff... but he is improving.

    Just accept their blue motifs - they want to give you something, so let them. This said, those motifs which all my 12 characters have already, I offer for free in "say" to new players. Msybe they'll sell it, but maybe they don't and have fun with it.

    Some give me 3k-30k gold, missing motif pages make us very happy and some crafting thingies are also good.

    This didn't happen to me directly but I heard it in zone chat and found it quite funny.

    You could tell he was just a kid by his voice, but he kept asking everyone in the zone how to "duplicate money". Some people were telling him he would be banned just for asking about it, but one guy told him to go find the NPC named "Xerox" and that he thought he might be somewhere around or in the mages guild. And the kid was like "ok thanks!". And then a little while later, I heard the same kid again asking if anyone knew where Xerox was because he couldn't find him.

    I laughed so hard but I did feel bad for the kid.

    Free for friends/guildies, anyone else whatever they can miss. If they have nothing to give, it's fine as long as they stay polite.

    The best thing you can do for a crafter as a thank you / recognition is to know what you want, express it clearly, don't forget info, don't push the responsibility of choices onto him, and provide ALL mats including style and improvements mats, without forgetting ANYTHING. Also, don't be impatient. And spare him your own theorycrafting and the whole story why you chose those sets...

    Apart from that, the biggest pain for any crafter is to actually travel to the crafting station, so I think appropriate reward is 5-10K PER TRAVEL (not per piece crafted, because once you're there, crafting 1 or 100 items is pretty much the same).

    Worst thing you can do is to come back the next day and ask lightheartedly for stuff to be crafted AGAIN because you've accidentally vendored or deconned the one he did for you yesterday.

    Being a 9 trait crafter thats more annoying now. I asked them to remove it from my notes in guild.but..
    I have been asked to marry 28 times, just because I am female in real life. Not too bad lately though but at one stage it was very annoying. The last few have been funny though as my in game husband who ive been playing with for over a year decided to get involved last time i was with him and a tank friend.

    In Group Finder, we usually grab an extrawhen we get to the mechanics if its unknown ill talk or the tank will.

    Me so when you see......
    Random. WAIT...ARE YOU A GIRL!
    Tank,....and here we go.
    Me. why is that important? I ve run this alot i know the mechanics.
    Random, I know but When we've done this want to get married? ( next pull guy dies)
    Tank (laughing) She's Already married .
    Random. No rules against it, You can marry me too. ( guy dies again) why do I keep dying?
    Me, because Im married to the templar healing us.
    Random So??
    Tank. He killed you.
    Random, thats not right.
    Templar healer. Niether is hitting on the healers wife then standing in the red and expecting to live.
