What's kindest thing a player has ever done for you or others?

Tasear · April 2018

There's something delightful to said about kindness strangers, so what great things have every happened to you.

I won't delve to far into pass but share a recent addition. I was dying of boredom trying collect new memento from jester festival and some guildmates just gave it to me no questions asked.

Also special shoutouts to those people who show people how to play the game better. It's not all received well, but most of us wouldn't here without it.

That sounds like the opposite of kindness, unless they were light attack spamming and it was a vet hm pledge... then understood lol.

For me? Having gear crafted for me when first starting out. Being tutored on addons and how useful they are, along with other useful in-game info.

FloppyTouch · April 2018

I was in a close guild called Last of the Nine helped out a lot of people there. When the GM found out I was not going to get the 1st chapter and my birthday was coming up he got the members together and they bought me a Microsoft gift card so I could get it.

Was the coolest thing any group of players ever did for me and I really appreciated it.

When I was a new player, sone kind member of one of my trading guilds bought some of the Columbine reagents I was selling.

He very kindly sent me the Columbine back, along with a nice note that Columbine was worth a lot more than 20g apiece and maybe I might want to try using Master Merchant.

I owe my fortune in ESO to that guy.

Dracane · April 2018

There was someone a few days ago. Me and a mate tried to find mates who manage no death and the unseen by watchers achievements in veteran Imperial City Prison. That 1 random was so enduring and sticked with us in the process of finding replacements and retrying thanks to messed up attempts with the watchers.

We spent quite some hours in there, yet he remained patient, even though he had all these achievements already and we only found him via the group finder. Auri-El bless that Daggerfall filth

Not so bad afterall.

XD I am jelly was selling mine for 10g for months. Seems like one of the kindest things to tell a new player.

That's what really makes this game worthwhile.

Without me ever asking for anything, some dude bought me my first mount and made me more than 2 sets of training gear, all purple. All he asked for in return that i extend that favour to others as and when I was in a position to do so. I like to think I've kept that promise.

I'm pretty sure most of the unsavoury characters that now populate this game do so because they themselves were treated like *** in the beginning. They got screwed over and it's that mindset that has remained with them.

Seems like postive actions spread postive actions in return. I believe there was even a movie about this... what was it. Now I want to watch it.

This almost makes me have hope for humanity.

Awesome to you, sir/ma'am!

I once gave someone 1000 ancestor silk when they hit 160cp in the dungeon with me.

But normally the community is extremly shelfish, and generally put down everyone.

I try to be the person who answers help requests.

Elites or popular kid willing to play with you or carry you on to the leaderboard.

Generous tip after a crafting job.

AcadianPaladin · April 2018

I’ve relayed this story a couple times in other threads.

I was a newb and my young bow/bow stamsorc was dying repeatedly to mobs in a public dungeon. Out of the blue I get a group request and accepted it. I found myself with a top level templar (CP530 I think it was back then) who proceeded to ‘escort’ my bowgirl through the dungeon – letting her do most of the killing but simply exploding her foes when they began to overwhelm her.

I vividly remember being in total awe of the elegance and power of what I now realize was a skilled (and kindly) magplar.

He led her through each of the bosses, the group challenge, the skyshard and finally to the dungeon’s exit.

That incident actually had a major impact on me. Rather than rage quitting the game for being too hard/frustrating, I stuck with my bowgirl and she now happily solos public dungeons, dolmens and most WBs. I was also inspired to create my own magplar who quickly evolved into my primary character and a fine healer. Both are CP720 solid characters now.

The icing on the cake for me is that several times, my magplar has been able to provide that same kind of support to younger players struggling in a public dungeon or with a WB.

Shezzarrine · April 2018

When I first began on a free-play weekend a year and a half ago, I was running around stonefalls trying to get to the Mundus stone to see what it was. I was stopped by a high level player who noticed I was just running all over. He then asked me if I had a horse and I said no then he gave me 10k to buy one and told me to start training it immediately. Ever since then I would occasionally go into stonefalls and find some new player to give them a horse, that is untill they made them free from leveling.

Ragged_Claw · April 2018

Four years ago before I knew anything about anything I became a vampire and then tried to take on Molag Bal. I was clueless and kept dying. I was crying about it in zone chat and some amazing player sent me fire-resist glyphs and crafted healing and magicka potions for me. They refused to take any payment and I stomped Molag's scaly ass.

And just a couple of days ago I was at a dolmen on a low level toon and a guy ran up throwing fireballs at me and I thought 'Oh here we go, it's one of those' but then he ran off and showed me that a chest had spawned. I was utterly shocked, what a gesture! Especially after some *** stole my other chest whilst I was fighting the mobs. There are great players in this game even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes. It's why I'm still playing now.

That's was quite touching.

@ZOS_GinaBruno thanks to zos for making the horses free. That's definitely a great kindness.

Skander · April 2018

Listened me when doing a vet dungeon

notyuu · April 2018

Was running about imperial city farming telvar, enemy player group shows up, I run my ass off, but their stam DD catches me after a few moments, at which point, I guess they noticed my low level cuz they asked me what I was doing here, got the rest of their group to stop trying to hunt me, I told them I was after the tri-stat runes.
an hour later they sent me 5 runes and 25K in a mail saying "imperial city is no place for lowbies, take the gold and get yourself some Psijic Ambrosia, then come back when you hit champion 160"

Honestly, I find the whole ordeal a bit weird....but since then, I..kinda see what they were on about.

Captain8504 · April 2018

I had a character throw mudballs at me in glenumbra once. I fought the person in duel and won....

kip_silverwolf · April 2018

I was once harvesting in Wrothgar on a very low level alt (lvl 7 or 8, I think). I came upon a chest guarded by a giant, which I took on, but died just as I killed it. I had no gems so had to rez at the wayshrine. As I pressed to rez, I saw a max level character rush in and take the chest.
I was annoyed (more with myself for dying) but accepted it happens and continued on my harvesting way. I then receive a mail from the person who opened the chest, with a message saying he had seen what happened but was too late to help me out and so had sent me all the contents of the chest including the gold!

I was touched by such a kind & generous deed, which I try to pass on whenever I can.

Oh wow I think you just made everyone who ever experienced node stealing cry. Like what a champion that guy.

Pink_Violinz · April 2018

I had helped this guy with his warden. He made an argonian and I helped him deck it into a pvp tank. I invited him to my pvp guild, taught him the ropes, that sort of thing.

After capturing an outpost he a sent a whisper that what I thought was gibberish. Turns out it was a 20$ PSN card. Never gonna forget that one.

zyk · April 2018

A guild continuously wiped trying to break the Plane of Fear. They lost so much experience trying to get their corpses back, some of them de-levelled from 50 to 45 and couldn't get back in. Breaking a plane simply meant entering and surviving the first mobs that were encountered. It was extremely challenging.

This represented a legitimate crisis to these players because not only had their evening been bad, they had lost a week of exp and might permanently lose their gear which might take months to replace.

Players from my guild worked with them for hours to help them recover their corpses so they could retrieve their items. My guildmates were true heroes to those players.

That was in Everquest almost 20 years ago. Acts of kindness like this can't happen in ESO because there are no risks.

Fur_like_snow · April 2018

I was on a new character recently popped into Cryrodiil so I could unlock vigor. Saw Miat fly passed me into a burst keep he then packed up a random EP turned around and saw me but didn't attack. It was a small bit of mercy in a pvp zone that I wasn't expecting. Maybe not the kindest ESO moment I've experienced but defiantly the most recent in memory.

WakeYourGhost · April 2018

In Cyrod, while I was on a Blue, I ran across the Yellow Emp. Not only did she not kill me, but we ended up chatting and became friends. She offered to help me get Emp any time I wanted.
It was really nice. Just chatting and hanging out with people, even if they were on opposite teams.

briflexia · April 2018

Reviving my a** after they battled me and killed me lolol

Vanya · April 2018

Not a single thing,Nothing at all. Nada. Zero.Zip. Nil.

Pink_E_808 · April 2018

One of my guildmates had tagged me on Discord to let me know about the TG/DB anniversary event and I said I didn't have eso plus at that time. My Guildmaster and a different guildmate got together and bought me a code for a month of plus the next day. If our guild had a mascot, it would be a monkey, so I showed my appreciation by gifting them both the madcap monkey pet.
