I'm just horrible:

-In Urgroz, I go and ask my buddy if he'd be willing to use my key to open the chest for the second time and trust him to give me the drop. (I'd offer to do it for him if I were the one without keys). If I carried surplus keys, more than expected to use on the mission, I'd give them at cost.
-I wouldn't trust the stranger to give em the drop.

-I'd tell the dye selling guy he's undercharging.

-I'd never know how to make use of the info of the update, but wouldn't be able to keep a secret. The world would know it in 5 minutes...

-Let's replace great aunt Sophie with a "close relative", and I'd certainly have to go see her. I've lost event weekends to hoeing my grandmother's yard... But,I'm generally resentful of people taking up my time. Especially since they so rarely take the time for me

3 = D
4 = D
5 = B

Remeber to answer honestly!

And im sure you'll ask - D D D B B
Wow, this reminds me of the good old Ultima days, where these questions would determine what profession your character would be. Those games were great.

Anyway, as to my response to these questions:

D - Of course I would give a key to a close friend. No question about it.

A - Hell no. If I go to the pub, I don't walk up to random people and buy them a drink... Unless they're female, and good looking (that depends how much I'd had to drink). But since you can't tell someone's gender in a game, that doesn't really apply.

D - I'd tell them their mistake. And then I'd either regret it if they were less than polite in return, or be content that I made some stranger that little bit richer... Damn, this is exactly why I tried to give up being nice.

B - I guess... In reality, I'd probably open it (as opposed to trashing it straight away thinking it was junk) simply because it's from the GW team. But then I'd probably just delete it and get on with my life. But I probably would tell someone about it.

B - I probably wouldn't be so cruel as to not visit them at all... probably. But to be honest, a lot of my extended family either irritates me or bores me, so I wouldn't wanna spend too much time there. I'm definitely not gonna sit beside her bed for the whole 48 hours of my weekend. On the other hand, if it were one of my close friends who were very ill and just needed a key to get a better knowledge of prices... no... wait... I got confused there. But seriously, if it were a close friend, I'd spend a lot of my time to keep them company, but not for an aunt.

Id probably be quite dishonourable about most of the things on that list. But id definately tell the newb about the real price of black dye. I dont like the idea of exploiting inexperienced players for my own profit.

D, really i don't care, i'm not exploiting newbies. And someone did the same to me on a smaller scale (purple dye) when i was in pre-searing ~22 months ago.

1. D; and often do, or at least offer (some won't accept). I try to remind everyone before we make trips to pick up keys.
2. A/C; I won't mention how many keys I have unless they ask and then I will make a deal with them. Less than merchant price but more than the buy-back. If they just straight up couldn't afford a key to begin with, I might go ahead and see what my chests drop and offer items I wouldn't be able to use (or things I already have).
3. B/D; I would try to buy it myself, but I would offer a decent price and let them know.
4. None of the above... I probably wouldn't tell anyone. I would either disregard or just pick up one dead sword as a collector's piece on the chance that the email was cannon.
5. B/C; I would go and visit, but not stick around for too long (I suppose it depends on the circumstances when I get there as to whether I would stay longer), but I wouldn't make up an excuse for leaving.
